Autorenporträt
Charlene Bell Dietz searches for adventures everywhere. After a near-death scuba diving experience forced her to switch to snorkeling, she continued to spend countless hours on the surface of oceans examining sea life in places as the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, Belize, Honduras, and in the Galapagos. Some of her land adventures include journeying up the Amazon River, hiking through jungles and mountains, hunting for and excavating New Mexico dinosaurs, wilderness camping, and birding in Arizona. After retiring she helped build her home on the edge of a forest in New Mexico where she's able to learn about wildlife from personal observations. Her guilty pleasures include Opera, jazz and classical music, painting, sculpting, drawing, and letting the muses whisper to her about writing. She attended the University of Wyoming and received her postgraduate degree from the University of New Mexico.
