I'm announcing a new book. This is completely different from other stories I have written. It's called
Hunters of the Feather. Here's the description:
Shortly after Sol hatches, his parents and nestmates discover the young crow is a gifted “thinker-linker”: able to communicate with distant birds, with the souls of dead birds – and even with humans! As Sol masters flight and makes his first migration, he learns many members of the Great Flock – birds all over the world – are suffering from terrible catastrophes. Fewer insects, murdered forests, even the lack of krill in the oceans: these are all caused by the ever-growing number of humans. The ancient wisdom, “Adapt or die,” is no longer enough, and Sol leads the hunt for a way to save birdkind from extinction.

Sometimes you know exactly when a story comes to you. I was speaking with a five year old about what she was reading. She told me she was reading a series about cats. That's when I thought, I want to write a story about birds. Still, the story that came to me surprised me, and I learned a lot about crows as these clever birds insisted on one thing and then another.
Please consider ordering Hunters of the Feather, which should be a treat for anyone who has enjoyed watching birds at one point or another.
