"A thrilling collection of interviews, true stories, facts, real live photos, and answers/suspicions, all intending to bring us closer to worlds far from our world."  (Thanks, Caroline!)

Welcome to the WONDERS OF WEIRD!

Welcome to my world.  I am a nonfiction children's writer and I love to write about things most people consider "weird."  I've written almost 30 books and more than 1,500 articles for magazines like Highlights for Children and US Kids (and dozens of other publications).  My most popular books are:

Dinosaur Mummies (2003)
Albino Animals (2004)
Wild Dogs (2005)
Tales of the Cryptids (2006)
Mysteries of the Mummy Kids (2007)
Wild Horses (2008)
Dinosaur Parade (2008)
Saving the Baghad Zoo (2010)
In Search of Sasquatch (2011)
Alien Investigation (2012)
Girl Meets Boy (2012)
Hatchlings: Life Size Baby Dinosaurs (2012)

I am hard at work on other projects, including some Young Adult projects (CLICK HERE for more about my YA) and I travel all over the country talking to kids at schools about the magic of writing and research.  Maybe someday I'll visit YOUR school!  Until then, I hope you enjoy my books.  I write them just for you.
