My mainstream novel, The Home for Wayward Parrots, to be published by NeWest Press

Good news, everyone!

My mainstream novel, The Home for Wayward Parrots, will be published by the venerable Canadian literary publisher NeWest Press.

Here’s the blurb from their announcement:

The Home For Wayward Parrots, by Darusha Wehm:

Now grown up, Brian “Gumbo” Guillemot searches for his birth parents after a happy adopted childhood. Along the way, he regales readers with often-complicated encounters with women, men and more.

I describe the book like this:

A late-bloomer’s coming of age story set on Vancouver Island, The Home For Wayward Parrots explores friendship, romance, modern families and geek pop culture with wit, compassion and extremely foul-mouthed birds.

Look for Parrots in Spring 2018.
