I should be writing! It’s my job. But I procrastinate. It’s amazing all the things one finds compelling when one is supposed to be working. So, I thought, maybe it’s better to procrastinate from writing by writing. Stretching the brain muscles and all…
I make my living as an author and illustrator of children’s books and adult non fiction on various natural history topics. Here’s a blog about what it’s like to do this – storiesstories.blog. It’s updated every Monday. I also am co-founder of a martial arts school in Killingworth, CT (www.greenhillmartialarts.org). For more about what I do, you can visit my website at www.johnhimmelman.com. Facebook link here. Twitter link here. And Email here.
A lot of content from some jamoke in the woods in Connecticut, I know. This spot, though – “All Things Reconsidered Again” is a conduit and open outlet for all of it – where the twains come to meet.
I searched for a blog site that allowed people to add their own thoughts to my rants and musings, so please do. (Unless it’s nasty)

Have just tried emailing you at jhimmel@comcast.net and got a delivery error message. I represent Cengage Learning and we are trying to send you 4 reprint permissions requests for volume 221 of Something About the Author. Can you please contact me via email or phone 248/636-2490 with a good email or fax to send you these requests?
Thank you.
Hi John,
I read about Parmalee Farm bird walk days to late. Missed it. Will you be doing it again? or any other walks?
Thanks
Kathy
Hi, Kathy – I will be doing one in May – spring migrants, wildflowers, amphibians…, and another one or two in the summer. You can check my website http://www.johnhimmelman.com or the Parmelee Farm site (google it) for more details. I haven’t picked the dates yet.

Hi John,
My students and I are hooked on your “…to the Rescue” books! The kids would like to send you a letter with some ideas for other books, but I haven’t been able to find an email or snail mail address. What is the best way to contact you?
Thank you for your your wonderfully entertaining books!
Take good care,
Miss Barb π
I love your books! There’s a big push for reading non-fiction in our schools now and your books fit the bill!
Go out and explore more bugs so you can report back in your most interesting fashion! Did you write one yet about the Praying Mantis? I’m looking for it now! Following you and enjoying your books!

Why thank you, Christine! Working on one now about a box turtle. Praying Mantis would be a good topic…
