I am pleased to introduce my book, Box Turtles, Hooligans, and Love, Sweet Love which features 70 of my weekly columns.
These essays, written in a storytelling style, combine hard science and memoir and reflect my own deep respect for the natural world.
Come celebrate slime molds and pangolins with me!
We launched Box Turtles, Hooligans, and Love, Sweet Love out into the world on February 13, 2025 at Pebble Hill, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama. What a celebration it was! My friend Lizzie wrote an introduction, a love letter really, that made me cry. With my trusty friends and a few Breyer Horses manning the table, we sold out of inventory. Be sure to feast your eyes on the cookies that look like the books, thanks to my cousin Katie.
Since the launch, I continue to breathe air under her wings, helping to give my book a lift into the hands of people who will love her, appreciate the odd humor and unexpected twists found in these stories and columns. If pet possums and barefoot heroes appeal to you, this may be right up your alley.
"For as long as I've known her, Mary has been curious. Underline that word three times and write it in your margins . . . We learned about rats and snakes and possums and more snakes because Mary was curious about the world."
