Lee Welles's Blog

If you’re here, you are looking for Lee Welles and/or information about the Gaia Girls Book Series.

And you may also be wondering why this page is so dang ugly!

I’ve been off the radar for a few years, but I’m resurrecting things! Please be patient while I get my digital-world together! GaiaGirls.com was “stolen” from me, and thus all existing emails out there are defunct as well. Sad, isn’t it?

But, I’m happy to report I AM writing!

It has been in the single digits here in the Finger Lakes region of New York. At the pond in the park, the willow tree's slim branches are frozen into the ice. They no longer blow gracefully in the breeze…they hula! I discovered the ice forming in the river travels faster than I walk; and [...]

This is so exciting! Scientific America and Zooniverse needs our help to really listen to the whales! YOU can do what Miho and her parents did in Gaia Girls Way of Water by joining The Whale Song Project.
Biologist have collected thousands of Orca and Pilot whale calls and are asking people to help the "match" [...]

This is an amazing video! A wonderful way to look at a slice of sky over a year's time. See if you can tell which are the winter and which are the summer months, and why.

A few days ago I had the great pleasure of meeting "The Story Seekers," a book club in Southern California. The girls had read Gaia Girls Enter the Earth, (and then were inspired to read Gaia Girls Way of Water as well…so it was a two-fer!) We had a great chat via Skype. They asked [...]

Is it wrong that I laughed? They don't seem worse for wear; and all of Gaia's critters must learn about the power of wind sooner or later!

Videos like this really inspire my writing! ENJOY!
