Early Praise for Strange Animals
Check out these kind reviews from a few pretty amazing writers.
I can't wait to share my new novel with you!
“I cannot express how much this book scratched an itch I didn’t know I had. The deep wonder and curiosity about nature coupled with the terror of our own insignificance strummed a familiar chord within me, and reading about these singular creatures and Green’s journey confronting them inspir Read more of this blog post »

"Wow, what a magical little book.
It transports you to this world, and to another. The perfect balance of fantasy and reality. I have zero doubts this will be my favourite book of 2026. " |

"Strange Animals is a lovely book about the study of cryptid animals and cryptoecology (which was a new word for me on page 290, but quite appropriate). It's the story of a man named Green (I wonder why he only had one name? It must mean something...)"

“How humbling is nature? How many lives could you spend studying a single tree and still feel yourself a neophyte in the school of its character? What a gift it is to know that the ship of our curiosity will never run aground in the seas of Earth's mysteries.”

"There are certain fiction books that give me this gut feeling that they are actually real and perhaps we've just forgotten. Strange Animals was one such book - it's like nature crawled up into the author's arms and begged for this story to be written"

“It’s easy to look at the contours of a forest and feel a bone deep love for nature. It’s less easy to remember that the contours of your own body represent the exact same nature. The pathways of your mind. Your dreams, dark and strange as sprouts curling beneath a flat rock. Your regret, bitter as the citrus rot of old cut grass. It’s the same as the nature you make time to love. That you practice loving. The forest. The meadow. The sweeping arm of a galaxy. You are as natural as any postcard landscape and deserve the same love.”

“You won't see most of this planet.
Under each rock.
Beneath the water.
Secrets of air and soil.
Can you feel the joy behind this limitation?
That there is always a new thing to discover,
a new way to grow,
is one of the sweetest parts of living,
and it's free and inexhaustable.”
