Welcome to my website!

I love writing children’s books about nature and the environment. Real life encounters with animals and insects inspire my stories. Even some of my fiction characters come from furry creatures found in my countryside neighborhood in Buxton, Maine.

So poke around and enjoy your stay.

Be on the lookout for:

  • Groundhogs begin to emerge from hibernation
  • Slow down! Amphibian crossing roadways to vernal pools on warm, rainy April nights
  • Watch for male American goldfinches to be sporting their bright yellow feathers
  • Soft, grey pussy willow tufts are bursting out of their winter jackets
  • Listen for “peeent” call of American woodcock around open, wet fields
  • Mourning Cloak butterflies begin to emerge on warm days, soaking up the sun
  • April is Citizen Scientist month–help scientists by finding a project around your passion
