I love to write and am currently working on a new multi-part book, Our World Ocean: Understanding the Most Important Ecosystem on Earth, with an outstanding group of woman artists, editors, and designers. When I’m not teaching or writing, I care for three cats and spend much-treasured time with the love of my life.
