Welcome! I write non-fiction books and articles about
how to choose, train, care for, and live happily with
dogs and cats. My books have won the prestigious Maxwell Award from the Dog Writers Association of America, and the Muse Award and Awards of Excellence from the Cat Writers' Association.
I've recently ventured into fiction, and my short mystery, "Tracks," was a finalist in the 2008 DWAA writing competition. Click My Books or Publications to see what else I've written and to find free articles that you can download. And please visit my new "everything rescue" website at RescueMatters.com.
For some 15 years, I taught writing, folklore, and literature in the U.S. and the Middle East. These days I enjoys speaking to groups about writing and about pets, and frequently teach writing workshops and classes. I also like to paint, mostly in watercolor and colored pencil, and occasionally in oil. To see some of my paintings, click on paintings or pet portraits.
