I knew I wanted to write about crows, but wasn’t sure how.
I eventually ended up befriended two wild crows (a mated pair) who are like family to me. I raced the crow to a wildlife rehabilitation center, and while sadly the crow didn’t make it, my relationship with the local crows changed. I approached thinking I’d get mobbed by them all, and instead, as I got close to this injured crow, I had the distinct feeling that he/she knew I was there to help. In the trees all around, the poor crow’s family was screaming. When I first moved to Seattle, I was walking my dog and found an injured crow. On the heels of a heavy writing rejection, my husband suggested I “go and write the thing about the crows.” I’ve loved crows for as long as I can remember. We caught up with the author to hear about her path to publication The book, which is garnering amazing buzz, was published by Grand Central Publishing/Hachette in August. Former Business of Books client Kira Jane Buxton recently published her debut novel, and it’s a doozy: a humorous literary dystopian tale narrated by a domesticated crow who is on a mission to save humanity. If you haven’t already heard, Hollow Kingdom is Kind of a Big Deal.
