My first book, Wolfsnail: A Backyard Predator, was inspired by the appearance of an interesting critter in my backyard. Lots of readers found the little known snail as fascinating as I did and the book earned critical acclaim.

I'm working on several other projects now, including another photo-illustrated book for young readers titled Growing Patterns: Fibonnaci Numbers in Nature.

I also teach photography and writing in a variety of settings, from k-12 classrooms to writers' workshops to professional development.

On this site, you'll find radio interviews, teacher's guides, school visit information, and my regularly updated blog.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you'll come back often.
