Join a casual conversation about how the Wild DFW came to be apart of Timber Press’s series of Wild books on urban nature. Hear some insight about the research and writing process, what the essential tools of my trade are, and how creation of the book is only half the work, with marketing as the other half.

Find out how an award from Ned Fritz and a phone call from jazz musician Pat Metheny set my journalism career in motion. And how Obsidian is where I’m going from here.

I’ll read some of my favorite passages from the book and answer questions about the ecology and natural history of North Texas and prime places for exploration. Wild DFWs will be available for purchase, or bring yours to have it signed.
