Lori Van Pelt's biography, Amelia Earhart: The Sky's No Limit (Forge, 2005), a premier title in the American Heroes series, received recognition in the UK's Guardian Unlimited recently. Best-selling author and movie producer Don Mullan, creator of Eyewitness Bloody Sunday, selected Lori's book as one of his "Top 10 Books on Heroes," saying, "Van Pelt's biography reignited my admiration for a fearless pioneer who not only broke barriers and pushed back frontiers but also helped spearhead commercial aviation and the advancement of women." Other books on his list included autobiographies of Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks, and Mahatma Gandhi. Lori's book is now available in paperback and she will be appearing as a panelist at the Equality State Book Fest in Casper on Oct. 21.
