I am a digital artist and author who focuses mostly on birds. I am also an avian-exclusive veterinarian and most of my work focuses on wild bird research and conservation. I live in Milwaukee, WI with my husband, Colin.
Phil Adler loved playing football and with a lot of hard work, he achieved his dream of playing professionally. But a closely guarded family secret, the ability to shape-shift into birds at will, is revealed by a mysterious rival in a painfully public way, threatening his hard-won career and the safety of his loved ones. As an investigation unfolds, he discovers his attackers have dark, shape-shifting secrets of their own, and bloody ambitions that will determine the destiny of the world. Phil’s extended family of werebirds are diverse and strong, but they may need to put aside their distrust of outsiders and seek help from some unlikely allies to save themselves and all humanity.

When terminal cancer strikes in mid-life, David Geraki has to make tough choices. An experimental therapy saves his life but transforms him into an enormous eagle. With the help of his lifelong friend, he must hold on to what’s left of his humanity, accept what he’s become, and ultimately fight for his freedom.
This was my first novel, released in December, 2018. If you want a slow, medically-detailed story of what it would be like to turn into a bird, this is it. I drew extensively on my background as an avian veterinarian to bring you all the anatomic details you crave. At the same time, I worked in a plot that will paint how society may treat you after your transformation, including calling into question your human rights.
