Author Susan Cummins Miller moderates her mystery novel Chasm, part 6 of Miller’s Frankie MacFarlane mystery

series.

Since Major John Wesley Powell first explored the Colorado River in a dory, geologists have been drawn to the

Grand Canyon. Frankie MacFarlane’s no exception. When her old friend, Dora Simpson, calls to ask Frankie to fill

in as geology professor for a small group of students taking a whitewater trip through the heart of the Canyon,

Frankie jumps at the chance. Eight days. One hundred and eighty-eight miles on the River. One mile deep into the

earth. Paradise. What could go wrong?

Susan Cummins Miller, a former field geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey and college instructor, is a

research affiliate and SIROW Scholar with the University of Arizona’s Southwest Institute for Research on Women.

In addition to the Frankie MacFarlane mysteries, she is the editor of A Sweet, Separate Intimacy: Women Writers

of the American Frontier, 1800–1922 (TTUP, 2007). She lives in Tucson
