Cheryl Grey Bostrom, Author

For most of her life, Pacific Northwest naturalist, photographer, poet, and author Cheryl Grey Bostrom has lived in the rural and wild lands that infuse her writing. Her work has appeared in a variety of print and online publications, currently including the American Scientific Affiliation’s God and Nature Magazine (for which she’s a regular photo essayist), and in her blog: Watching Nature, Seeing Life.

She’s also written multiple books—including her award-winning novel Sugar Birds and its sequel Leaning on Air, coming May 7.

SUGAR BIRDS: When she accidentally lights a tragic fire, young Aggie hides in a Pacific Northwest forest, where she evades searchers who must bring her home before wilderness claims them all.

LEANING ON AIR: Tragedy drives ornithologist Celia to the remote Palouse, where a red-tailed hawk, a mute little boy, and the husband she can’t touch transform her.
