About the Author

I wanted to be a veterinarian or a girl Davy Crockett when I grew up. As it turns out, I became a writer. It still surprises me. I've written several nonfiction books on natural history and two illustrated children's books, and my essays, articles, and short stories have appeared in a variety of national magazines and anthologies including the books "Great Rocky Mountain Nature Factbook, Ten Rowdy Ravens, and Lucky Hares and Itchy Bears. "
My writing has a broad range because my life has been one grand survey of topics and experiences. Born and raised in Kentucky, I headed north and west soon after graduating from high school, living in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest for many years. Before settling into writing, I worked a variety of jobs, including bull cook in the oil fields of Prudhoe Bay, commercial fisher, print shop photolithographer, waitress, flower delivery driver, mining claim staker, energy use advisor, and wildlife information officer. Somewhere in there I graduated from the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. In 1991 I moved to the Gallatin Valley of Montana, and here I am, still.
