When LeeAnn Kriegh moved to Bend， Oregon， in 2012， she fell in love with the trees， birds and flowers. Then she began to read nature guidebooks.

“There wasn’t a book that met my needs，” Kriegh said. “I had all the field guides. And they were wonderful， but they didn’t tell me stories or teach me the basics and those were what I needed.” Kriegh’s book， The Nature of Bend， was published in 2016. And Kriegh wanted to encourage others to become published authors. She spent about 2，000 hours working on her guidebook， in which she covered 350 species （物种）.

“You should be ready to spend time on the topic you write about，” Kriegh said. “It’s a lot of work， and you have to have a strong liking for your subject，” she added， “or it’s going to be put aside.”

At first， Kriegh began by sending a plan to a book publisher. Half a year passed before the publisher said no to Kriegh. What he said was that central Oregon seemed too small a market. Kriegh remembered his words. During that time she made a decision that she would take care of all the book’s elements on her own rather than depend on another publisher.

Being a self-publisher， she not only picked up the check for printing， but she also paid for the other parts like marketing that were paid by a publisher. Kriegh worked with more than 40 photographers and local naturalists， and read through many scientific papers for the book.

She’s heard a lot of positive remarks （评论） about the way she’s shown facts and stories about these species that help people feel connected and put a smile on their faces.

Kriegh is now working on The Nature of Portland. She hopes it will attract people in cities.

“The purpose of the book is to get people more interested in nature，” Kriegh said. “The more you know about it， the more you care about it and work to take care of it.”
