    I love sharing fascinating information about the amazing world we live in with readers, especially children.  When i was young, the natural world intrigued me, and I spent hours outside, chasing butterflies, catching tadpoles, and hunting for salamanders.  Riding horses, hiking with my cocker spaniel Buffy–interacting with the animals that live with us also fed me.  So sharing my curiosity and knowledge through writing is a natural outcome for a person like me–and in this section you can learn about the books I’ve written and what I’ve learned.  Enjoy!
