On Death and Flying

Chip Crandle has given the folks in his North Idaho town plenty to gossip about. Most agree that John and Scarlett Bradley got what they deserved. Others argue that, no matter how you slice it, taking the law into your own hands is wrong. They’ll never suspect that Chip’s startling act of justice wasn’t only to save the Bradley’s three daughters; it was the one way he could hope to redeem himself for failing to save his loved ones … and to bring back his uncanny ability to fly.

But the universe has bigger plans for Chip than he could imagine.

Fate nudges Chip toward the Great Plains and a stream of unexpected strangers: A sympathetic cop with secrets of her own, a teen with a singing dog who desperately needs Chip’s forgotten magic, and a braided mystic with the power to guide Chip to a secret canyon where the ghosts of his past wait with a message that can change everything. To see the wisdom each offers, Chip will have to let go of his old fears and open his eyes to the impossible.

Chip Crandle's adventure shines a light on the fears, doubts, and discoveries we all experience as our parents pass, children leave, careers end, and life moves on in unpredictable and often unjust ways toward the inevitable unknown.

A mash-up of thriller, suspense, and magical realism, On Death and Flying abounds with unpredictable twists, unexpected characters, and deep moral questions.

What readers are saying about On Death and Flying:

Grabbed me from the beginning. Thought provoking. Exciting.

A book off the beaten path. A creative mind brings us an unusual story with a little touch of wonderland.

On Death and Flying works as two intertwined parts, one a highly suspenseful page turner, and the second, more philosophical, probing the nature of fairness, justice and the individual's ability to take action and make a difference.

I could not put On Death and Flying down. From page one, Chip Crandle takes me on an incredible, and powerful journey.

A great read with unexpected twists, colorful characters, and some deep questions to ponder as you follow Chip Crandle on his journey for justice, meaning, and redemption.

I wanted Chip Crandle's adventures to go on and on. This is a book that one thinks about for days after you read the last page.

Strange entertainment. This book took a different turn every few pages. I never knew what would happen next. It was great!

Beautifully written. Awesome read!
