Praise from @BobbiePyron, author of the delightful kids novel, A Pup Called Trouble.

[Bobbie Pyron @BobbiePyron]

If you read A PUP CALLED TROUBLE and are looking for something similar, check out STREET SHADOWS by @gilchristwrites. It's a great book about two young coyotes living near a city, and it just came out this summer.

[Dundurn Press @dundurnpress]

Today on the blog @gilchristwrites is dishing on the inspiration behind her debut novel, Street Shadows and how she came to be obsessed with coyotes! You can read it here: https://t.co/tPpDeJ6jwK

Common misconception that killing local coyotes will solve the 'problem'. In fact, it's not long before new coyotes move into the newly available land. We need to find better ways of #coexistence #coyote

11 snares were found in a Mississauga park last week, plus 2 more yesterday. The surviving coyote (named Hope) is being treated for a severe wound on her leg cut by the wire - it's touch and go if she'll walk on all fours again. Police are investigating https://t.co/NEXyQYUNdH

@sarapennypacker Just finishing #Pax - loving that there is a strong female character - so many animal books are male-character heavy. Curious to see how it all ends! #feminism #WritingCommunity

My first novel will be published by Dundurn Press! Timeline is still to be determined, but likely in the next year. In preparation, I've changed my Twitter handle :) It's aimed at 9-13, but is a mystery adventure that anyone might enjoy. I'll update as I know more.
