I Never Met an Animal I Didn't Like

About Me


MySpace Comments Graphics
Myspace Graphics, Myspace LayoutsI'm a writer, a nature lover, a pet and wildlife advocate, an animal shelter volunteer, a feral feline trap, neuter, and return (TNR) participant, and now, like hundreds of other dedicated animal lovers, a Katrina Pet Rescuer.My stories, articles, and poems have appeared in Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul, Cats Do It Better Than People, GRIT Magazine, Pet Life, Pets: part of the family, I Love Cats Magazine, The Critter Zine, PetsWeekly, and The Daily Mews.I've published six books - three of them about animals and nature, and my latest book - Where The Redwing Sings, is a nature inspired book of poetry and essays. Another of my books, Through Katrina's Eyes, Poems from an Animal Rescuer's Soul - depicts some of the people and some of the pets truly devastated by this massive storm on our Gulf Coast. A portion of the proceeds of each book sold is going to animal shelters still helping these left behind Katrina pets.And a few of the poems from this book can now be heard on allpetsradio.comand on their new Katrina Pet Memorial Website at unconditionalfriends.comSome of my cat related writing can be viewed on thedailymews.com

My Interests

Wilderness trekking, camping, nature photography, traveling, animal rescue work, hanging out with my wife and critters, and writing.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who shares my passion for nature, animals, and earth's environment, who wants to help preserve and protect them for future generations, and who consider wild animals and pets to be far more than disposable items.
