Current Projects

Like most writers, I’ve always got a ton of projects I’m working on—and they do not include the giant cow to the left!

Currently, I am excited about two picture books in development with Kane Press, and an older science book with Lerner Publishing. I also have two adult books in progress and am regularly contributing to several magazines including Montana Outdoors and Bird Watcher’s Digest!
