In association with AOC (Authors on Call, a division of iNK Think Tank), I am doing interactive videoconference programs (about snakes, bugs, and rodents! about art and artists!) for CILC (the Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration).

Speaking of iNK, on Sept 1 our first collection (bios) of The Nonfiction Minute comes out, published by Sea Grass, a division of Quarto. Exciting!
