A lover of Aotearoa's wildlife and wild landscapes from earliest childhood, Anna Yeoman fell in love with lizards when she began volunteering at Mokomoko Dryland Sanctuary in Central Otago five years ago. After studying science communication at the University of Otago, she started to write about New Zealand's geckos and skinks for magazines including New Zealand Geographic and North & South. She now works as a ranger at the sanctuary, and in her spare time adventures in the outdoors with her husband Ollie and their young family, and looks for lizards. This is her first book.
