Am I completely crazy? One bite and I\u2019m dead. There is no cure\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I held the sea snake for two seconds, long enough for my husband to take his picture. You can see how worried I look behind my diving mask.\u00a0 But truly it&#8217;s really very hard to be bitten by a sea snake. I&#8217;d have to put my finger down the snake&#8217;s throat &#8211; and I&#8217;m not THAT crazy.<\/p>\n<p>My profession isn&#8217;t studying sea snakes. Writing books is my job. I&#8217;ve written <a title=\"Books\" href=\"https:\/\/www.annmcgovern.com\/?bookscat=currently-available\">55 books for children<\/a> and four books of <a title=\"Poetry and Collage Art\" href=\"https:\/\/www.annmcgovern.com\/?page_id=1045\">poetry<\/a> for adults. I also do <a title=\"Poetry and Collage Art\" href=\"https:\/\/www.annmcgovern.com\/?page_id=1045\">collage art<\/a>. My absolutely best and favorite thing to do is meeting the children, their <a title=\"Teachers &amp; Librarians\" href=\"https:\/\/www.annmcgovern.com\/?page_id=98\">teachers and the librarians<\/a> when I visit schools.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy that you&#8217;re visiting my web site.
