I love to travel, but when I really want to escape, I read a book.

I love to write and I love the natural world. Everything I've written about I've found exciting and it has never left me at a loss for words. I've always just done what I love.

I just love the world around me and wanted my audience to love and appreciate it too.

I love to travel, but when I really want to escape, I read a book.

To be a writer you should read, write and talk to people, hear their knowledge, hear their problems. Be a good listener. The rest will come.

There is something all life has in common, and when I know what it is I shall know myself.
