What will Kentucky Book Festival visitors find on your table?
My first published book titled Foraging Kentucky: An Introduction to the Edible Plants, Fungi, and TreeCrops of the Southeast. I’ll be available to answer questions and sign copies of the book.
Whom do you invite to stop by? Who will benefit from reading your book?
I invite anyone with an interest in the plants and fungi found in the southeastern region of North America(especially Kentucky). This book will be of great use to any forager, gardener, hiker, bush crafter, naturalist,botanist, ecologist, and ecological steward.
Could you please tell us something curious about you and/or your book?
I’m a self-directed student and teacher of botany, ecology, agroforestry, and natural history. Additionally, Iam an avid reader, writer, conservationist, forager, angler, and backpacker.
