Who Pooped in the Park?

My children's series now has its own Web site, where you can keep up with the latest news. The series is a children's guide to animal tracks and scats, set in various national parks. The Yellowstone and Glacier editions of Who Pooped in the Park? are the best-selling books in their respective parks, and Yellowstone has already gone to a second printing. My illustrator is busy with #8 in the series (Sequoia/Kings Canyon) now, and I'm working on #9 (Olympic). I've just received the contracts on the next two, both due out in February 2006: Acadia National Park in Maine, and Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.

New Project

I'm working on a research project now for the National Court Reporters Association regarding wireless technology in the court reporting and closed captioning fields. Are you a court reporter or captioner that has used Wi-Fi or Bluetooth technology? Please get in touch with me and help out your profession! The current schedule calls for a June 1 completion date.

The Closed Captioning Handbook

My newest captioning book, The Closed Captioning Handbook, is a 400-page comprehensive guide to captioning from Focal Press (an imprint of Elsevier). To find out more, please visit the "CC Handbook" section of Caption Central. Signed copies are available at my bookstore, and you can also find it on Amazon.com or special order it from any bookstore. NCRA members can buy the book at a discount from the NCRA store.

New Anthology

My true story, "Just Another Montana Morning," is in a new anthology called Growing Up On Memory Lane, from Small Town U.S.A.
