New Writings!

It’s the beginning of September, and it’s the beginning of a new chapter.

I’m excited to announce that the third book in the Emma Finch series is officially available on amazon in the eBook format! The paperback is coming very soon.

For this novel, I chose for Emma to focus on the American goldfinch.

The American goldfinch is a bird found across the United States and Canada. It is one of the most identifiable songbirds due to its bright yellow plumage. I find that it’s one of the few birds that stops people in their tracks regardless of if they are birdwatchers or not. While people tend to think it’s rare due to its plumage, it is a fairly common bird.

One of the reasons I chose to write about the goldfinch in general is because it is a timeless bird. It has captivated the interest of humans for centuries, often appearing in art as old as the Renaissance (obviously the American species isn’t found in the paintings, but you get the idea). I think the idea that people long ago found the bird as majestic as we do today is pretty unique. It makes me wonder if some of the great artists of the time period were birdwatchers just like us?

Happy birding!
