My spring book store events and school visits for A Wolf Called Fire are done! I’m so grateful for every shop that hosted me and every school that invited me to share a little bit about the joy of writing and the beauty of our natural world. I love book events and I’m grateful for every young reader I’ve had the opportunity to meet.
I am looking forward to a summer full of research trips and writing new material and reading good books. I’m grateful for my treehouse office and my cosy back yard. I hope to have official titles and release dates for my next two books in a few months. I’ll post them as soon as possible.
A big thank you to every reviewer and podcaster and radio station that hosted an interview this spring. It’s a lot of work to put on a good podcast or radio show and I’m grateful to share that space you’ve created.
The picture below is of the Olympic mountains in Washington. My next two books will be set on the Olympic peninsula and the Salish Sea. My earlier books Written in Stone and A Whale of the Wild were both set here, and I’m loving my return to the rainforest. My next books will be about ravens and about river restoration and dam removal. I hope you have a wonderful summer and that you get to spend at least some of it in the wilderness.
A Wolf Called Fire is a 2025 Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection and a #1 Indie Best Seller.
“An exciting and thoughtful portrait inspired by a real animal who succeeded by being different.” book review Kirkus
Though this is billed as a stand-alone novel, it offers an additional perspective on the events that take place in A Wolf Called Wander, as well as a refreshing approach to leadership, and reaches depths that book only probed. VERDICT: This wolf tale presents a diversity of ideologies and perspectives, all of which are sure to help readers reflect on where and how they fit into the world. Highly recommended.–Benjamin Ludwig School Library Journal
