A kind of outrageous book about the science, tragedy and hope surrounding the topic of roadkill.

I don't let myself believe I never writer's block. A great writer once said that first drafts are vomit o the page. When I am feeling hesitant to write, I remember that and just write something, with the knowledge that I will come back and revise it.

Inspiration is everywhere! On every hike into the forest, questions leap out at me. During every class with students, little light bulbs tell me what topics they are ready to learn. In discussions with friends, I'm intrigued by great questions of science. During my morning walk with the dog, I notice something strange that sets me off on a quest for information . . .

1) If you are interested in writing for kids, the absolute best resource is the Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. 2) Join a critique group! My crit buddies are invaluable to me. 3) Read at least 100 books in the genre you want to write.

The best thing about being a nonfiction writer is that I get to dig into all kinds of fascinating topics. Each book is a quest to find answers to my burning questions!
