Looking for a great gift for that special friend or family member?
What about a great Aussie wildlife guide book that has been signed by the author?
I am so grateful for the opportunities to write or co-author over 15 books on Australia’s wonderful wildlife, and published works to date cover a range of animals, including birds, insects, dangerous creatures, mammals, reptiles and frogs. There is also a guide to Australia’s absolute best birding destinations, and another on the wildlife of Australia’s amazing and diverse rainforests. I have really loved researching, writing, and working with other wonderful writers and amazing photographers over the past 30 years, and I’m not finished yet! I want to write many more… but I need your help.
Being a natural history author is not a lucritive occupation, and I can only keep doing what I do if my books are bought by nature-lovers like you. Most of my titles are available to purchase from my webstore, and every book you buy from me helps me create more books for you. So, please grab a great gift for that nature-loving person in your life (or just treat yourself)…
