Aha Moment(s)

1. With my first book, "Salmon in the Trees: Life in Alaska's Tongass Rain Forest," when I explain to audiences the ecological connection between salmon and forests and I see their faces light up and the invisible light bulb over their heads blink on.
2. With my current book, "The Salmon Way: An Alaska State of Mind," when I explain to audiences the difference between "resources" and "relationships," and hear them say that "this changes my entire way of thinking."
3. To see my books in the hands of decision-makers, and then at some point, those decision-makers go on to do the right thing and conserve the places, species, and cultures featured in my books.
