  • Write a Dual Love Story Between Two Men and the Three Ducks They are Desperate to Save with @recitrachel
    May 26 2025

    Send us a text

    Bill had no idea that his commute to work would lead him to rescuing not one, not two, but three ducks on the side of the road. This chance encounter leads him to Marcus, the owner and operator of a local bird sanctuary and they are drawn together by more than their hope to save these animals.


    A fun, silly love story with a lot of bird city world building and lore for fans of warrior cats, Y2K YA paranormal romance, and adult contemporary romance (it don’t sound like it works, but trust me that is the most direct comparison)


    We also talk librarian-ship, library school, running book conventions, and more!
