Today on the podcast I have author Cynthia Robinson author of the new book 'Birds of Wonder' This is genre defying literary fiction. There is a murder and there is a mystery, but there is so much more. This is an emotionally grounded character study about what happens when a tragedy upsets the balance of things in an small college town. On the podcast today Cynthia talks about the real life inspirations for this book, the journey to publication and the new book she's working on now. Also in the last part of of the podcast we talk about her work with rabbit rescue. Come for the books and stay tuned for the bunnies.
