Military kids. Green cities. Insects & spiders. Chaotic family drama.

Red Flag Alamogordo

A heartfelt family drama that also features tarantulas!

12-year-old entomologist Gabby Richardson protests the expansion of F-35 combat training over New Mexico’s protected Gila Wilderness. The creatures there are supposed to be protected! But when her actions put her F-35 pilot Mom’s reputation (and maybe her career) on the line, Gabby must decide how far she’ll go to stand up for the creatures she loves.


I’m committed to

Character-driven ecological fiction for kids & teens
