I’m a former park ranger who writes about the outdoors, with a special interest in wildlife, conservation, and fly fishing. My essays and articles have appeared in Montana Outdoors, Wyoming Wildlife, High Country News, Grays Sporting Journal, Big Sky Journal, and the Christian Science Monitor.

My first children’s book, What I Saw in Grand Teton: A Kid’s Guide to the National Park, was a finalist for the High Plains Book Award, and another title of mine in this series, What I Saw in Rocky Mountain, made the short list for the Reading the West Book Awards in the Young Readers category.

I also copyedit an outdoor magazine and various wildlife and conservation plans; please contact me if you need help in this area. I can be reached at luejulie[@]gmail.com
