As a naturalist and an author, Elizabeth Hinckley has a passion for both the natural world and the power of story, and their ability to inspire the human spirit. Her work as a writer often resides at the intersection of speculative fiction and magical realism. As an environmental educator who works with wildlife, she brings the magic of the natural world to young people and adults alike through presentations and speaking engagements. She is the author of a novel, David, A Rat, and several short stories.
