Sam writes from Oregon, “You bet I’ll post your Raven Chronicles posters around the city…and in the most relevant, high-traffic spots too. Powell’s Books is the first on my list…I bike daily all over the city anyway, it’ll be good fun and you can imagine me weaving through Portland on my Cannondale roadie spreading your good word (and work). My pleasure!”
I met Sam during a bicycle trip near the mouth of the Siltcoos River, where he was monitoring breeding activities of the endangered Western snowy plover. Now he’s pedaling, posting signs for “Creator Bird,” my short story inspired by black oystercatchers (currently accessible at the blog’s link to Raven Chronicles). Sam has also monitored neotropical birds in Panama and Coho salmon runs on the Clackamas River system. He helped find red-shouldered hawks breeding at Aghaming last year.
Very cool, very awesome. Thanks a million, Sam!
