It's Raining Fishes in the Fish Cave!

I'm swamped. And it's all good.
In short, 2019 was one for the books...!

• I moved myself and my sons out of our home of 28 years (all by myself!) 
• I relocated to the mountains outside of Free Union, VA
• I completed all of the edits for two new books
• I illustrated the Tidepool critters of California
• I got divorced (YAY!!!!)
• My sons and I had a great fishy vacation on Ocracoke
• I completed a new job for the Maymont Center in Richmond
• I partnered with the Fish Print Shop CLICK HERE
• I published two new books: "A Field Guide to Freshwater Fishes of Virginia" CLICK HERE and "Tunas and Billfishes of the World" CLICK HERE.
• And, I launched a curated collection of prints on Etsy CLICK HERE.

Beginning in September, my VA co-authors and I undertook a joyful sequence of events, signings, and presentations. "VA Freshwater Fishes" is now in its second printing, and "Tunas" is on track for sales projections. Who says books are out of fashion?

On top of all this, I continue working on our new Caribbean field guide, and I'm contracting more new projects including two new Apps in the US and abroad.
I love my job! Working 12-hour days is so tremendously satisfying. I can't imagine more fulfilling  life.
Live, Love, Fish!
Cheers.
