| Occupation | Writer, Editor, Photographer |
| Location | Rappahannock County, Virginia, United States |
| Introduction | A writer, photographer, and lifelong conservationist, I love nature, good books, great food, anything that makes me laugh, my dog, a steady income (whatever that is), and dirty martinis. I live at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains at the edge of Shenandoah National Park and can't think of any place else I'd rather be. |
| Interests | nature and conservation, books, movies, great food and wine, photography, writing |
| Favorite Movies | Too many to mention, but I'd start with my childhood favorite, "The Magnificent Seven" (and of course the Akira Kurosawa original), but from there the list would be way too long to fit. |
| Favorite Music | Again, too many. I'd start with classical composers Gershwin, Vaughan Williams, Rachmaninoff, Debussy, and Copland; then go to Trisha Yearwood, Sara McLaughlin, Pink Martini, Paris Combo, Linda Rondstadt, Dave Brubeck... |
| Favorite Books | Again, too many, but I'd start with Capote's "Other Voices, Other Rooms, " anything written by E.O. Wilson ("The Diversity of Life" being first on that list), "Hollows, Peepers, and Highlanders: An Appalachian Mountain Ecology, " and much more. |
Why do I like deadlines?
