Welcome to the wonderful outdoor world of an adventure writer. Much appreciation to you for visiting my website.  I am a career biologist, martial artist, and avid reader. I truly enjoy writing fun outdoor experiences which include creative use of environmental spaces to share about nature and animals through awesome child and teen characters. By the time I published my first book, I was deep into a lifetime of writing. I still have many of my early stories and poems written in childhood. My passion is teaching our children about nature and wildlife in the meadows, forests, swamps, and waterways through writing.

You may or may not be wondering, why Awisquad? Read Chana and find out!

Leaf through children’s animal adventure Woody, Snappy, and Terpy Swamp Party!, teen novel Chana Seeking the Red Bird, heritage journey Awi Squad Buds Games Under the Sun, food adventures Fern and Ginger Dandelions and Watermelons and Fern Foraging in the Forest. Go outside and bring your friends along to share in hiking, running, and searching for cool plants and wildlife. Be sure to join Red and Pop in reading fun with a few wonderful rhymes.
