Early Praise for Strange Animals
Check out these kind reviews from a few pretty amazing writers.
I can't wait to share my new novel with you!
“I cannot express how much this book scratched an itch I didn’t know I had. The deep wonder and curiosity about nature coupled with the terror of our own insignificance strummed a familiar chord within me, and reading about these singular creatures and Green’s journey confronting them inspir Read more of this blog post »

Strange Animals is a revelation, a cozy read that is unlike any other cozy fantasies out there. Green is just a normal young guy when he dies--or so he thinks. One instant, his head is about to be crushed in t" Read more of this review » |

“It’s easy to look at the contours of a forest and feel a bone deep love for nature. It’s less easy to remember that the contours of your own body represent the exact same nature. The pathways of your mind. Your dreams, dark and strange as sprouts curling beneath a flat rock. Your regret, bitter as the citrus rot of old cut grass. It’s the same as the nature you make time to love. That you practice loving. The forest. The meadow. The sweeping arm of a galaxy. You are as natural as any postcard landscape and deserve the same love.”

“You won't see most of this planet.
Under each rock.
Beneath the water.
Secrets of air and soil.
Can you feel the joy behind this limitation?
That there is always a new thing to discover,
a new way to grow,
is one of the sweetest parts of living,
and it's free and inexhaustable.”
