Short Synopsis
Boo the tabby cat is born on a Lincolnshire farm and seems destined for a simple life. Everything changes when she's put up for adoption and is taken in by Ellie Caldwell, an adventurous Cambridge graduate student who loves animals and is studying to become a wildlife conservationist. Between lectures, Ellie heads to the countryside for camping trips, her Instagram-anointed 'adventure cat' in tow. On rocky trails, Boo discovers that, like Ellie, she has a passion for the natural world, and because she's able to communicate with all animals, she can relate their challenges back to Ellie. But there's a serious problem: whenever Boo tries to tell Ellie something, all Ellie hears is "Meow." Can they work out a communication system, and in doing so, save endangered animals from harm while encouraging public support of nature and wildlife?
I’m currently writing a nonfiction popular science book on conservation rewilding. “Wilder: How Rewilding is Transforming Conservation and Changing the World” will be published in 2022 by Bloomsbury’s science imprint, Sigma.
I also authored chapters/essays in two previously published works of non-fiction: the Meatpacking District chapter in the Guide to New York’s Neighborhoods (2012) was mine; and my essay, “Haunting Dreams,” appeared in Letting Go: An Anthology of Attempts (2016).
