Welcome to my web page. I am a biologist-turned-writer specializing in science, health, and the environment.
As a magazine writer for children and adults, I've had articles published in Odyssey, Spider, Today's Science, and Research Penn State.
As a children's author, I've written more than a dozen science books for publishers like Enslow, Cherry Lake, and The Child's World. I am currently at work on a narrative nonfiction book about the American chestnut tree, a project that won the 2011 Anna Cross Giblin award from the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
As an educational writer and editor, I've developed workbooks, easy readers, tests, website materials, and more for folks like Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, Peoples Education, and the Ohio Department of Education.
