About Will
Will is a former wildlife biologist who writes and speaks on behalf of all creatures, wild and tame. He and his wife Kathy live in Reno, Nevada with their pibbles Towpath and Missy, and a houseful of former street cats now living the good life indoors.
About Towpath's Tail
Towpath’s Tail is the story of a special pit bull puppy with a magical tail that spreads happiness wherever he goes. But when Towpath’s tail is suddenly stolen by an angry young boy, his friends all abandon him. Towpath’s only hope comes from the kindness of a young stranger who helps him regain the magic, despite his stubby new tail. And when Towpath finally happens again upon the bully who stole his tail, we discover that Towpath’s magic was not in his tail after all, but in his heart.
