Professional/Personal Overview
I am an award-winning journalist and author of 14 non-fiction books. I write extensively (and, when appropriate, humorously) on the environment, parenting, travel, social justice issues, pets and more. I have worked as a TV correspondent and radio show host, and have staff experience as a magazine editor and fact-checker. I now freelance full-time for magazines, newspapers and Web sites.
