Junkyard Bandicoots & Other Tales
of the World’s Endangered Species

Written for ages nine - twelve, this book tells stories about animals on the brink of vanishing. Readers get up close and personal with all sorts of strange creatures, from giant pandas to tiny marsupials clinging to existence in one Australian junkyard to lizards big enough to eat you.

The Quality of Mercy
Originally published in the April, 1998, edition of the Smithsonian Magazine, this award-winning narrative follows two nurses through one long workday, filled with life, death, fear, hope, and caring so intense it is a kind of prayer.

Nosmo (a book in preparation)
You do not think a dog might become your teacher. But if you abruptly plummet into an alternative universe, the world of the sick, and confront death, you may need a guide. And a beautiful Pembroke Welsh corgi, radiating self-confidence and charm, may be just the boy for the job.
