The Cascade Range stretches over 700 miles from northern California to British Columbia. The mountain range is full of wildlife and volcanoes to explore, but watch where you step! The animals that live there are often hard to find but not their poop! Join Emily, Michael, May, and their parents as they examine poop (scat) and footprints (tracks) to find out who pooped in the Cascades. By examining signs left by animals, the kids learn about animal behavior, diet, and identification. Who Pooped in the Cascades? is the perfect backpack companion for your trip to any part of the Cascades. Fun illustrations of the animals and their scat and tracks supplement the charming story, and a quick-reference chart at the back makes field identification a breeze!
Although I'm best known for my "Who Pooped?" books, which have sold over 700,000 copies, I have also written a number of technical nonfiction books, focusing on accessibility technology for deaf and hard-of-hearing people — specifically closed captioning and CART reporting.
My current work in process is a Young Adult Fantasy novel. It is complete and being submitted for publication now.
My two latest released books are:
Who Pooped in Central Park? (the 20th book in the Who Pooped in the Park? series) follows four children as they wander through New York City's Central Park, learning about the animals from the poop they've left behind.
Gary's Guide to Successful Book Signings which takes new authors through the process of promoting their books at book signings, talks, conventions, and more. It covers everything from the basics (how do you sign a book?) to the advanced (what should be in your exhibitor kit at a book show?) replete with tips, tricks, sample signatures, photos of actual signings, and anecdotes.
I've also published over 300 articles in various magazines, newspapers, and Web sites, ranging from "The National Law Journal" to "Blacklisted! 411" (a hacker magazine), and from "Newswaves For Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing People" to "VLSI Design" (a chip design magazine).
I have taught computer science at three colleges, hold 3 U.S. patents, and currently own a tea business in Montana.
