Through my work with Round River Conservation Studies, I became involved with Save the Rhino Trust, a non-profit group working to conserve and recover black rhinos in Namibia. While researching The Black Rhinos of Namibia (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), I made three trips to Namibia. I subsequently traveled to Rwanda to teach a writing workshop at the National University of Rwanda, in Butare, with Terry Tempest Williams; this trip resulted in a book, In My Home There is No More Sorrow: Ten Days in Rwanda (McSweeney’s).
