Curious about capybaras?
Fascinated by fennec foxes?
Enraptured by earthworms?
Keen on anything having to do
with the question "Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral
(or Solid, Liquid, or Gas)?"

Perhaps you just have an insatiable appetite for learning about animals from aardvarks to zebras--as well as plants, habitats, rocks, shells, clouds, and all the other marvelous components of the natural world.
Maybe you also get a kick out of wordplay.
If so, we have a few things in common.
I love natural history and science, and I love to write about topics in these areas. I enjoy getting kids excited about these subjects, too--or rather, building on their inherent interest in them. Kids are fascinated by animals, planets, and the rest of the natural world. They love to learn and share cool facts.
(Did you know that a coral-reef fish called the Comet has a tail that resembles the head of a ferocious moray eel and uses this similarity to ward off predators by hiding headfirst in a crack in the reef, leaving its frightening hind end exposed? Is that cool, or what?)
Sharing cool facts is a splendid way to embellish the "big picture"--the larger context that contains these facts: for example, how animals and plants fit into a larger ecosystem; how traits and behaviors help them survive; how processes such as erosion shape a landscape; and how the physical features of a habitat dictate what lives there.
The final touch, of course, is to explain it all in a way that's
engaging, exciting, enthralling, and entertaining
(add your own adjective starting with the letter "E" here).
I like to do this with the help of lively verbs, sensory details, compelling comparisons, and, in the right context, a dollop of humor in the form of bad puns, riddles, and the like.
I'm ready to write some books for your company, too. Please take a look at my website and see what I've already published. Then shoot me an e-mail. Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best,
