I have a new book out in September (2022).
In 1986 an explosion occurred in the Number 4 reactor of the Chernobyl nuclear plant. This was a terrible human tragedy, but the evacuation of the people from the contaminated area around the plant created perhaps the worlds greatest experiment in rewilding. Bears, bison, lynx and wolves returned to the forests, and roam there still. They are not alone. When the people were evacuated, they had to leave their pets, including their dogs, behind them.
Dogs of the Deadlands is the story of some of those dogs, and their struggle for survival in this beautiful, but dangerous, new world. It’s also the story of one little girl who had to abandon her new puppy, and her fight to one day be reunited with it.
