Turtles find me.

​

During sea turtle season, I volunteer in support of the Volusia Turtle Patrol's mission to protect endangered and threatened species.​ I've also volunteered with the Marine Science Center of Ponce Inlet.

 

Before retiring, I served as a science writer for academic and nonprofit organizations including Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), where I'm an elected Fellow.

​​

In summer 2026, Regal House Publishing will release my third novel, THE TRAIN TO SANTA FE.

​

My second novel, SNAKES OF ST. AUGUSTINE was released by Regal House in September 2023. Read reviews online HERE.

​​

My debut novel, CITY IN A FOREST, was published in September 2019. It received a gold award in the Florida Writers Association's 2020 Royal Palm Literary Awards competition.

​​

A fourth novel, inspired by great women of conservation science, is currently underway.

​​

​In 2025, my short story, "Jumping Off" received a First Place in Fiction Prize from Prime Number Magazine, which nominated me for a Pushcart Prize.

​

My other short stories and essays have been published by Pangyrus, Atticus Review, The Northern Virginia Review, Eckerd Review, Blackheart Magazine, Crab Fat Magazine, Gravel Magazine, and Dying Dahlia Review, and in the book Boomtown.

​

I earned my M.F.A. degree from the Queens University of Charlotte and my B.A. in English from Eckerd College.

​

Long ago and far away, I was a journalist.

​​

Through the simple act of reading, you make the world a better place. Thank you.
