I’m thrilled to announce that I have a companion book to A Wolf Called Wander coming out next year. A Whale of the Wild will be a fall title with Greenwillow. The illustrator will be Lindsay Moore who wrote and illustrated the magnificent picture book The Sea Bear. Here we are researching by kayak in the Salish Sea. You can read all about the deal in this Publisher’s Weekly interview.

I am very grateful to the team at Andersen Press who had such vision for my book, and to our brilliant illustrator Mónica Armiño and to Greenwillow who have made a beautiful home for my stories. And most of all I’m grateful to my Portland writing community, my writing partners Amy Baskin, Nora Ericson, Michael Gettle-Gilmartin, Cheryl Coupé, Barb Liles and Cliff Lehman. And most of all thank you to my agent Fiona Kenshole for her acumen, determination, enthusiasm and kindness.
