Desert Surprise Series

The cover for Sarah’s Desert Surprise shows the prickly pear cactus in full bloom blowing kisses to the wind.

This illustration from Lindsey’s Desert Surprise depicts the dancing cactus she dreams about at the end of the book.

I have returned to Wisconsin until next January.  I will miss our Arizona desert home with the mountain backdrop, the wildlife and the cacti in bloom.

The second book in the Desert Surprise Series is written and ready to be published.  Sarah’s Desert Surprise is about the cacti in the Sonoran Desert.  The book contains beautiful, impressionistic illustrations by Mary Stokrocki.  It also has a reference page with photos I have taken of the various cacti.  Like Lindsey’s Desert Surprise, there are discussion questions at the end of the book.

Watch this site for some pages from both books.
