edit data

As a biological researcher, I have worked in many settings from arid grasslands to boreal and tropical forests, where I focus on the biodiversity and evolution of insects. My fiction has appeared in Amazing Stories, AcademFic, etc. and my non-fiction has appeared in The Conversation, Natural History, History Today, and American Forests among others. In my debut literary/science fiction novel, Killing Juggernaut, an ecologist fights to salvage disintegrating ecosystems at the end of the century.
