Thank You Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge

I recently had the opportunity to present my PowerPoint on restoration ecology and give a reading and book signing of Shadowshine: An Animal Adventure at the Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge. So Shadowshine is now on sale in the Refuge gift shop. I consider it an honor to have my animal characters make a home in a National Wildlife Refuge. Think of it—the forest-folk are now under the full protection of the United States government. (OK, maybe I’m stretching it a bit, but I love the concept).

The eighth and last member of the Shortleaf Pine-Oak-Hickory Woodland Overstory is the shortleaf pine, Pinus echinata. The seven other members were the fire-resistant hardwood species consisting of the five oaks and the two hickories that I’ve shown in the last two blog posts.

    Now that my 42-year career as a pathologist is a story for another time, I’m focusing my energy on my long-time passion for and commitment to critical conservation issues.

    I am currently working on a non-fiction book detailing the ongoing ecosystems restoration work at Wafer Creek Ranch.

    Shadowshine is my first book in the genres of literary fiction and animal fiction.

    “Up there on your bookshelf between Tolkien and Watership Down is where this book belongs.  As an anthropomorphic adventure that winds through the realm of animals possessing courage, savagery, perseverance, and ultimately wisdom in the face of mounting evil threats – humans disconnected from the natural world – the tale is relevant, if not necessary.”
    Kelby Ouchley, author of Bayou Diversity: Nature & People in the Louisiana Bayou Country
