Published June 16, 2024
What if your wife believed the birds outside your window held the keys to the universe?
The Bird Watchers is a uniquely satisfying love story about Rob, a retired physician and his brilliant, eccentric wife, who live in a world like our own, with a few notable exceptions. Their quiet life together is upended by Helen's secret research, which revolves around birds. Helen is an aging Nobel laureate whose stubborn inquisitiveness both isolates her and provides an unexpected path to connection. As her research threatens their lives, the combination of Helen's resilience and Rob's unconditional love saves them by blurring the fine line between self and other.
The Acoustic Arborist
magical realism
25 pages + extras
Published June 11, 2024
What if the trees in your yard could play music in the rain?
When an arborist in Seattle learns how to trim trees so the rain hitting their leaves sounds like music, her work draws unexpected attention. Her rainy concerts spark wonder and curiosity, which leads to a crushing demand for her services. "The Acoustic Arborist" blends literary fiction, magical realism, and a modern love story. It explores the theme of impermanence, and the idea that all good things must end, for as the leaves grow, the songs go out of tune, and the art that brought people joy reveals its darker side. The ebook includes a YouTube playlist of the songs in the trees, so readers can listen to the music as they read the story.
