We obviously have distinctive and separate voices as historians, with our own interests and audiences, but we have also been collaborating closely and productively for more than six years now. In addition to co-written articles, Atlantis magazine, and mutual assistance on each others' manuscripts, both are involved in ongoing help with research and critical reading of Joe Fuhrmann's new Rasputin biography.
