BIG NEWS! I am excited to announce that the book I have been working on, for nearly two years, is finished and is now available to pre-order. BIG TREES takes you on a journey through the giants of the natural world - towering redwoods, ancient baobabs and colossal eucalypts - uncovering their extraordinary stories and how they survived and thrived over hundreds and thousands of years. This book offers a glimpse into the awe-inspiring world of our planet’s mightiest trees. Available for preorder everywhere you buy books, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Target, and your favorite indie bookstore, as a hardcover and ebook.

Some of the stores carry e-books others are selling hardcovers, some are selling both versions. Thanks for your support my friends 🌳🌲💚
