About Me

---

I love all forms of creative writing and have been writing  short stories and poetry since I was young. Recently, with the luxury of more time, I have been writing novels. 

Uplift is my third novel--and most unusual! I was inspired to write it to give birds and other nonhuman characters a voice, as I have noticed that we people tend to overlook them because they don't speak our language.

It is my hope that telling a compelling, relatable story can help inspire greater respect and compassion for birds and other creatures.

Being in nature is where I feel most at home. It has been a constant source of joy and inspiration for as long as I can remember.

I have always been curious and enjoyed learning about the natural world, and this led me to become a naturalist. I am co-founder of  a naturalist group  of volunteers dedicated to conservation and stewardship of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
