When Don Smith approached me about a project he had envisioned, I was immediately excited.  Don and I are members of a writing group called ‘The Wellies.’ We always looked forward to sharing our writing in the group meeting held once a week at our local seniors’ centre.

Covid 19 changed all that. But it did not stop us from writing. Don kept himself busy collecting photographs and creating stories about some fantastic critters.

Together we are writing and creating what we believe is a wonderful way to inform children and adults alike about the creatures that share this world with us. Eventually award winning author Marilyn Helmer joined our little venture and is contributing some great critter stories.

We hope you enjoy Critter a Week and will keep us busy writing new stories.
