Since childhood, I’ve always had a special connection with nature.  I grew up hiking, camping, and canoeing in a small Central Pennsylvania town along the Appalachian Trail. At age 11, I was outraged when a beloved grove of chestnut trees in my hometown was clear cut and paved for a parking lot (yup, just like the Joni Mitchell song!).

Writing

Pen

My writing has been published in magazines, newspapers, academic journals, and online sites on a variety of legal and non-legal topics including: backpacking with my daughter; attending a silent meditation retreat; a biography of Bucks County’s first female environmentalist; and a guidebook on inclusive trail design.

I’m also an aspiring children’s book writer currently working on several projects, including a picture book about an orphaned tiger cub and a biography of an underestimated female scientist.

Publishing

I’m delighted to be serving as Editor for a line of new children’s books One Little Earth will publish in alliance with the The Little Press.

 

We currently are acquiring entertaining and inspiring environmental and nature-themed picture book manuscripts for readers ages 4–9.

Music

Although I’m not a very good guitar player, I do love writing lyrics and am honored to have won a number of songwriting awards, including from American Songwriter, Nashville Songwriters Ass’n Internat’l (NSAI); and The Great American Song Contest. It probably won’t come as a surprise that several of my songs are about nature!
