Quotations:
"My primary career interest is to share my fascination with nature and science with other people. Through my years of education and work as a wildlife biologist, I gradually realized that people who are trained as biologists look at nature differently than other People. This different way of looking at things results from acquired nature observation skills and from learning about the research of other scientists. One of uiy goals as a writer is to help others learn to look at nature in the ways that a biologist might. I also want to interpret the research work of scientists in ways that children and non-scientists can understand and enjoy. I hope to inspire or encourage people to get out, observe carefully, and discover nature firsthand."
"Since The Case of the Mummified Pigs is my first book I still consider myself an aspiring writer, but I would advise anyone who aspires to anything to not give up even if progress towards your goal is slow. Keep working at what you love, even if it is only in spare moments between more pressing matters. Also, make contacts with people that are working towards similar goals so that you can share setbacks and triumphs, as well as information and insights about your field."
She married William A. Lehnhausen, a biological consultant, on April 15, 1978. The couple has one child, Willow Hope Yunai.
