Hello fellow traveler, The Rooted and the Winged is 9 days away from its official release date, July 1st! While researching Amazon categories today and double-checking my book files, I realized...

So you can take it to your local woods/nature areas if you like. If you do I would love to see a picture; it's amazing to me to think that...
