With over 500 published articles to her credit, Kris Wetherbee has extensive experience working with editors and focusing each piece with a specific audience in mind. Her articles have appeared in a diversity of magazines, including Country Living, Woman's Day, Cooking Light, Garden Gate, Sunset, House & Garden, Coastal Living, Good Housekeeping, and Alternative Medicine. She is the author of Oregon Farmers' Markets Cookbook & Guide, Washington Farmers' Markets Cookbook & Guide, and her newest release, Attracting BIRDS, BUTTERFLIES & Other WINGED WONDERS to Your Backyard (Sterling Publishing, April 2005).

As a public speaker and former certified organic market grower, she has shared her horticultural expertise, knowledge of wildlife, and passion for healthy foods throughout the Northwest. With many television and radio appearances to her credit--including 'AM Northwest' on KATU-TV in Portland, Oregon; 'Henry's Garden' on KRON-TV in San Francisco; and 'Holder Tonight' on CJAD radio in Montreal, Canada--she is just as at home with the media as she is at her computer or the garden and kitchen.

Kris's love for gardening and wildlife evolved while growing up in Southern California. Since then that love has become firmly rooted in Oregon, where she lives with her husband, Rick, and their three cats, flock of sheep, cows, and diversity of outdoor wildlife, including the occasional cougar.
