More About the Author

Erin McCloskey spent her formative years observing nature from atop her horse while growing up in the countryside of rural Alberta, Canada. But for the past decade she has been living internationally, in northern Italy, California USA and Wellington New Zealand. Following a degree in conservation biology, several of her books are about natural history but even when writing about the countries in which she has lived or traveled, there is always an appreciation of nature and its connection to the local culture that she enjoys sharing with her readers. Erin has collaborated with various organizations around the world that implement a growing travel ethos called voluntourism, through which people can work on projects doing wildlife research, development aid or archeological/cultural research. Most recently Erin was involved in a research expedition studying the Arabian leopard in Oman, a country in which she would like to further explore and write about. Erin has also written several magazine articles for publications around the world on subjects ranging from wildlife to natural healthcare.
