[Animal Portraits cover]

New: Those of you who use my books have often commented on my husband's photos of animals, which illustrate some of the paragraphs. While I'm not especially objective, I also think he has a gift for revealing animal personalities. That gift is now on display in his book Animal Portraits, available on Amazon. I hope you'll take a look.
