2026 Events and News

Sunday, October 25, 2026 – Shedd Park Pavilion                     453 Rogers Street, Lowell, MA

I will be speaking at a fundraiser hosted by Lowell Loves Wildlife and Save Chelmsford Wildlife, two community groups who are working hard on conservation concerns. I’ll be featured along with wildlife rehabilitation JoAnne Byrnes of Wildlife Warriors, and her extra special guests . . . Coco, a red-tailed hawk, and Odin, a barn owl!

This family-friendly event runs from 10 am to 2 pm and includes fun activities, raffles, and a silent auction, all to benefit advocacy work for local wildlife neighbors. My talk will be from 11:15-12:15. I’ll share a bit about why I wrote the Backyard Rangers books, the research I did on owls for the book, and why I care so much about protecting them.

The Owl Prowl Mystery will be available for sale, thanks to lala books!  

If you’re within range of Lowell, MA, please come out and join us for a fun day to learn more about raptors and other wildlife neighbors, meet some birds, and learn about how we can help them! Donations of $20 or more are requested to reserve a seat for the live owl portions of the event; no fee for my talk, but I’ll be donating a portion of book sales to the hosting organizations.
