Red-Tail Recovery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781548059361)

My name is Emma J. Homes and I am an Australian woman who loves writing books for children. I have worked as a journalist and science communicator for the nation's science organisation, the CSIRO. I grew up on a farm, rode horses, and loved reading. I was inspired to write by my mother, Ruth Homes, who is also a children's book author. I live in Victoria with my family and enjoy surfing, bush-walking and reading. The 'Ruthie's Wildlife' series is aimed at children aged eight to eleven. I am delighted that the first three books in the series are now available on Amazon. I love researching the books because I find it interesting and inspiring to hear from wildlife researchers, carers, and volunteers. The first book in the series, 'The vanishing frogs of Cascade Creek', and the third, 'Red-Tail Recovery' were shortlisted for the Wilderness Society's Environment Award for Children's Literature. 'The Peridot Pendant' is a fantasy for children aged around nine to twelve. I really enjoyed writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading it too!
