I am the author of A Very Typical Family (commercial fiction, Sourcebooks 2022), The Second Chance Hotel (romance, Sourcebooks 2023), and the forthcoming THE ENIGMA CHALLENGE (Viking Penguin 2026) (see https://www.goodreads.com/scgodfrey for that book)

I'm mostly on Instagram, where I am delighted to talk books with you. Connect with me there @sierragodfrey.

Like the setting in A Very Typical Family, I was born in Santa Cruz, California and now reside in the San Francisco Bay Area with my family, where I read a lot and feed my own murder of crows.

I’ve been friendly with a mated crow couple for about 7 or 8 years. Always in the front of my house, and definitely because I feed them. On Threads, I always get thousands of likes on posts about crows, and I know a lot of people want to make friends with crows but aren’t sure how. If that’s you, this post is for you!

How to start feeding crows

The number one key is—bear with me here—to say hi t

“The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”
Aldous Huxley, Crome Yellow
