In DEVILS ISLAND, Kerry is a naturalist-turned-tour-guide trapped on a remote island with six strangers … none of whom are what they seem.

Check out DEVILS ISLAND for a locked-room mystery, as well as to learn all about the endangered Tasmanian devils! #BookSky

"We spend so much time focused on distant birds that we don’t always see the birds closest to us.

Like the birds on our plates." -- @jyunker.bsky.social today on @therevelator.org #birding #birds #animalwelfare therevelator.org/birding-blin...
Birding’s Tragic Blind Spot • The Revelator
Humans love to watch birds in nature. So why do we ignore the lives of the birds destined for our plates?

In my novel FLOREANA and Ron Howard's new film EDEN, we reimagine the real-life events of the Galápagos Affair and seek resolution for the still-unsolved mysteries of what happened on Floreana Island in the 1930s.

Floreana Island itself is among the stars of Ron Howard’s new film EDEN … like FLOREANA, it also imagines a fictional ending to the mysterious events in the Galápagos in the 1930s.
