The Summer issue of Sun Valley Magazine focuses on the beauty and mystery of birds of prey. From what the editor tells me, they had been trying to pull this issue together for more than three years, but had not been able to because they had no one to write the anchor stories. Honestly, I have always been fascinated by birds, so this was a perfect assignment for me. Getting a chance to go behind-the-scenes at the World Center for Birds of Prey in Boise, learning about the international work of the Peregrine Fund and observing and writing about the sport of falconry, was a bird lover’s dream.

I’ve been doing a bit of writing for Sun Valley Magazine, a gorgeous, premier publication. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit and write about a stunning home in Sun Valley, Idaho, that is nicknamed “The Elegant Barn,” for its Vermont barn sort of style, which is quite unusual for the area. The architects, Arbonies King Vlock, from Connecticut, are incredibly creative and very client-centered. It was a pleasure working with them on the story as well as their newly revamped website, for which they asked me to do some copywriting. Check out the beautiful photos of their architectural designs.

When Idaho Senator Larry Craig called a press conference in Aug. 2007 to discuss the news of his arrest in a Minneapolis airport restroom, the New York Times needed someone local, on the ground to cover the breaking news, NOW. When NYT national assignment editor Joan Nassiveria called me to see if could report on the press conference scheduled in less than 30 minutes, of course I said, “of course.” Over the next several weeks, I worked with Times writer William Yardley on getting local reaction, covering a second press conference and other follow up stories.
