Coming in 2014: Love and Ordinary Creatures by Gwyn Hyman Rubio

We’re excited to announce that Ashland Creek Press will be publishing the latest novel from New York Times bestselling author Gwyn Hyman Rubio.

Love and Ordinary Creatures is told through the eyes of a cockatoo in love with his very human caretaker. Snatched in a net from his Australian homeland as a young parrot, Caruso has adapted to captivity and has learned the lessons of love from his previous owner, Theodore Pinter, who was obsessively fixated on his childhood sweetheart. Now in his new home with the beautiful and talented Clarissa, Caruso has found both love and happiness—until a handsome stranger arrives in Ocracoke and sets his sights on Clarissa. Smart, passionate, and wildly inventive, Caruso strives to put his human rival in his place before he steals Clarissa away for good.

Set in the early 1990s in the quaint seashore town of Ocracoke, North Carolina, Love and Ordinary Creatures is an exquisite tale of love and hope transcending species.

We’ll have much more to say about the book as we get closer to publication. If you’d like to stay up-to-date on developments, please join our mailing list.
