"Seeing visions of the future and turning into people's thoughts come naturally to Clara Quinn thanks to her inherited Quinn Sense. Unfortunately, it offers no insight into her love life-or lack thereof-especially where hardware store owner Rick Sanders is concerned. But even though she's still nursing a broken heart, Clara offers Rick a home for his troublesome dog, Tatters. But Tatters is the least of Rick's problems when a dead body is discovered in the back of his truck. The victim was seen in the hardware store-and bludgeoned to death with a hammer stolen from there. Clara believes Rick is innocent, but she's not sure whether that belief comes from the Quinn Sense in her head or simply from a desire in her heart..."--P. [4] of cover.

Dr Jessica Atkins wants nothing more than to see the Emergency Department she works at in her rear view mirror. Overworked and on the verge on burnout, her much anticipated vacation in the idyllic coastal town of Ravens Nest is railroaded when her paths cross with an injured and insanely handsome mystery man. Fleeing for his life, the sacred and obscure pathway from a parallel world leads Martin's bruised and battered body literally falling at Jessica's feet. Haunted by the betrayal he had just witnessed and fearful for his sister's life, who would now be forced into ruling over a war torn world in his absence, he struggles to come to terms with his new reality and the beguiling allure of the stranger tending to him. Torn between her duty of care, disbelief in the existence of another world, and an impossible attraction for a man she hardly knows, Jessica utilizes the only resources available to her in Ravens Nest. The medical facilities offered at the local veterinary clinic owned by eccentric veterinarian, Jack Foster. Navigating meddlesome small town politics with a Sheriff she despises, Jessica attends to Martin, setting in motion an interwoven tempestuous journey where hearts, cultures and indeed worlds collide. Can they find some middle ground to rescue and protect the ones they love, bring perpetrators to justice and alter the course of history? Lives will be forever changed and no one is left unscathed in this gripping adventure.

“Crows and people share similar traits and social strategies. To a surprising extent, to know the crow is to know ourselves.”—from the Preface From the cave walls at Lascaux to the last painting by Van Gogh, from the works of Shakespeare to those of Mark Twain, there is clear evidence that crows and ravens influence human culture. Yet this influence is not unidirectional, say the authors of this fascinating book: people profoundly influence crow culture, ecology, and evolution as well. John Marzluff and Tony Angell examine the often surprising ways that crows and humans interact. The authors contend that those interactions reflect a process of “cultural coevolution.” They offer a challenging new view of the human-crow dynamic—a view that may change our thinking not only about crows but also about ourselves. Featuring more than 100 original drawings, the book takes a close look at the influences people have had on the lives of crows throughout history and at the significant ways crows have altered human lives. In the Company of Crows and Ravens illuminates the entwined histories of crows and people and concludes with an intriguing discussion of the crow-human relationship and how our attitudes toward crows may affect our cultural trajectory.
