Author Information

Zoologist Nola Lee Kelsey began writing satires and travel guidebooks (e.g. 700 Places to Volunteer Before You Die) plus working as a columnist over a decade ago. Her specialty was a focus on global volunteer travel programs with an eye to educating people about how they could help global animal rescues, sanctuaries and research projects which desperately needed more hands on deck. It was during this time that Kelsey discovered her creative side and returned to college to study graphic design. Now the zoologist has evolved into producing, medium-content publications such as word searches, crosswords and more, so she can spend more time living life in the creative zone. All the while Kelsey still strives to keep her titles inspiring, educational and fun.
