Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dan was the love of Julie’s life. When he died, she fled her once happy home, escaping both the place and her memories. She has now returned, reunited with Dan’s parents. She moves in with them, back into the flat where she once lived with Dan. Of course, everything is different without him there ... and so much has happened since his death. When Julie left her home, she ended up in a mysterious place called Runaway in an even more mysterious house. There, she met the ghost of a woman named Lilli. Under Lilli’s direction, Julie saved Lilli’s grieving husband, Dale. Dale and Julie grew much closer than expected, but he soon died, too, leaving her with a surprise: Julie gets pregnant with his child. Now, an old friend invites Julie back to the house in Runaway to watch over its remains. Julie agrees to return, knowing Lilli still walks the property, although she soon realizes Dale is there, as well. It almost feels as though the ghosts were waiting for Julie to come back, but now that she has, what do they want from her?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enthralling account of a modern voyage of discovery as we meet the clever, social birds of prey called caracaras, which puzzled Darwin, fascinate modern-day falconers, and carry secrets of our planet's deep past in their family history. “Deftly intertwine[s] natural history and human history, with insights and lessons that go far beyond the subject birds.”—David Sibley, author of What It's Like to Be a Bird “Utterly captivating and beautifully written, this book is a hugely entertaining and enlightening exploration of a bird so wickedly smart, curious, and social, it boggles the mind.”—Jennifer Ackerman, author of The Bird Way In 1833, Charles Darwin was astonished by an animal he met in the Falkland Islands: handsome, social, and oddly crow-like falcons that were "tame and inquisitive . . . quarrelsome and passionate," and so insatiably curious that they stole hats, compasses, and other valuables from the crew of the Beagle. Darwin wondered why these birds were confined to remote islands at the tip of South America, sensing a larger story, but he set this mystery aside and never returned to it. Almost two hundred years later, Jonathan Meiburg takes up this chase. He takes us through South America, from the fog-bound coasts of Tierra del Fuego to the tropical forests of Guyana, in search of these birds: striated caracaras, which still exist, though they're very rare. He reveals the wild, fascinating story of their history, origins, and possible futures. And along the way, he draws us into the life and work of William Henry Hudson, the Victorian writer and naturalist who championed caracaras as an unsung wonder of the natural world, and to falconry parks in the English countryside, where captive caracaras perform incredible feats of memory and problem-solving. A Most Remarkable Creature is a hybrid of science writing, travelogue, and biography, as generous and accessible as it is sophisticated, and absolutely riveting.
