Environmental Fiction

Reviewer: "Anu's adventures get even better as her relationship with Sonri deepens. I love her friend, the monkey called Toama and the scenes in the ocean with the dolphin. What a great story!" A lot of readers are writing to me asking where did I get the idea for Original Earth?

This is a collection comprising two poems and six prose pieces—three short stories, an essay, a letter, and an interview.
