Indiana Wild: Images and Insights from Across the Hoosier State Paperback – March 4, 2026

Indiana Wild is a journey across Indiana's rivers, wetlands, forests, and fields—into the hidden and everyday wild places that quietly shape this land. From misty mornings along meandering streams to sunlit prairies and shadowed woods, this book captures years of the author’s patient observation: sometimes noticing what others might miss, and other times simply recording the obvious.Through each photograph, Indiana’s wildlife comes alive: a bald eagle soars over a harvested field, a river otter pops its head above the water with a fresh fish in its jaws, a turtle basks in the sun, and a wolf spider carries her young. Honeybees hum over wildflowers, songbirds flit between branches, and creatures both common and extraordinary reveal the rhythms of life happening just beyond our notice.Indiana Wild invites readers of all ages to slow down, look closely, and immerse themselves in the remarkable and often hidden wildlife of the Hoosier State. Every page offers a fresh moment of surprise and delight, capturing the quiet magic that surrounds us every day.The author is also the creator of Whispers of the Wild, a coffee-table style book showcasing photographs from Indiana’s Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge, and the growing Hello, Wildlife! children’s book series, which introduces early readers, parents, and teachers to the joys of observation and discovery, inspiring curiosity and delight in the natural world and its creatures.
