Laurie Ann Thompson grew up in the fields and forests of northern Wisconsin and now lives between the mountains and the sea in Washington State. A volunteer naturalist, climate advocate, and former software engineer, she writes to help her readers (and herself) better understand the world we all share and help make it a better place for all.
