I'm currently at work on non-fiction children's book manuscripts.

​

I also write science and nature poetry for children. Sample:

​

​

Into the Universe

 

Lying on my back in June

From the grass gazing to blue heavens

 

One body orbits another 

With precise motions and transits

 

That the spaces between the atoms

Are the same as those of planets

​

When I speculate and ponder

On what might be out yonder

 

Should we keep pulling out 

As far as the imagination can go

 

Would we realize that our galaxy is

 a mere speck on a giant’s big toe?
