Coles Feathered Friendship: A Strange Space Novella at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

The first installment in the award-winning Strange Space Adventures series of optimistic science fiction books by Katie Silverwings, Feathered Friendship: A Strange Space Novella is a tale of friendship, family, and finding one's place in the galaxy. Follow along as Bernadette, a young budgerigar, explores the starship MSS Venture with her Florivan best friend, Cobalt Mereday, and does her best to convince the scientist who hatched her that she is, in fact, much more than an ordinary little bird.
Dr. Ariadne Salzar-Newman is NOT a mad scientist.
She is a scientist-and a brilliant one at that-but she's hardly mad. According to MSS Venture's resident psychologist, the Florivan Elder Navy Irleeim, she's only "amusingly eccentric, with a bit more of a fascination with the Strange than is healthy for a human." Navy would know, too, considering how long they've been officially observing her and occasionally assisting with her experiments. If their Navigator's wife has to be set on studying things that could kill her, they'd rather be involved from the beginning.
Dr. Salzar-Newman's latest endeavor towards mitigating the dangers of starships traveling via the so-called "Quantum Space shortcut" is not one Navy would ordinarily have approved. Bottled miasmas are one thing; eggs are another entirely. Still, having taken one of their Florivan patients under her wing as a part-time assistant, she's safer than usual this time. Working with her will be good for Cobalt Mereday-if only because her unique brand of oddity seems to be the only thing capable of helping them.
Even Dr. Salzar-Newman has no reason to suspect just how much of an effect this particular project will have on her family and her protégé, nor how far-reaching the consequences will be.
Something new is about to hatch...
