Ruth AmandaRuth Amanda is no stranger to hunting geckos! She went on her own adventures as a child, and taught the love of searching for critters in the garden first to her children, and now to her grandchildren. She doesn't limit herself to hunting geckos, wriing and art. She also loves to hunt for and photograph snails, slugs, ants, millipedes, monkeys, seagulls, puffins and any other unfortunate wildlife who happen to be discovered by the paparazzi. She is currently turning several of those creatures into characters for future works...coming soon!

Ruth lives in Barbados with her husband, David, who she met while she was living in the Arctic and he was living in Vancouver. Though they don't currently have any pets, Ruth has named every bird at the birdfeeder-and, of course, several geckos! Her favourite gecko is Stumpy, who likes to live dangerously and is often seen regrowing his tail.

(There may be more than one Stumpy, it's rather hard to tell the geckos apart when they are vanishing at high speed!) Read More Read Less
