I’m a biologist turned writer with a not-so-secret crush on Charles Darwin. I write books about heroes, scientists, and adventurers. Like Sir Ernest Shackleton and Frodo Baggins, I’m persistent to the point of insanity. And I work hard—very hard. In my books, I try to channel Terry Pratchett, who wrote at the end of Nation: “Thinking—This book contains some. Whether you try it at home is up to you.”

And if you still can’t track me down… Well then, I’m wrangling chickens, digging in the dirt, or paddling a canoe. Or maybe I’m at the archery range, pitching a tent, playing Scrabble, or wrestling anacondas. Who knows?
