It's almost here! Waiting for a new book birthday reminds me of how excited I got about birthdays as a kid - not because of the presents but because of the cupcakes!

Salamander Rescue is my newest book and we're going to celebrate its launch on May 10 in Calgary. I'll talk a bit about Waterton's salamanders, read some of the book, and then we'll have cupcakes. You are welcome to join me at 7:00 pm at Owl's Nest Books, 815A - 49th Avenue SW, Calgary.

Salamander Rescue is an eco-adventure story about one of the smallest species in Waterton Lakes National Park: the long-toed salamander. When a new curb blocks the salamanders' migration route, Cricket and her friends jump into action once again to save a species in imminent danger using the tools they have at hand - lemonade and cement. The story is full of animal encounters - bears, horses, kittens, fawns, and of course, salamanders.
