Sherrida (Sherri) Woodley, Novelist

Sherrida Woodley began research on the passenger pigeon in order to incorporate it into a novel she was beginning to write in 2005 and completed three years later (Quick Fall of Light/Gray Dog Press--2010). During this time, she continued to draw on various components of the historic passenger pigeon (and various other pigeons) in order to depict the species in a light both stunning and grounded in a novel's reality. As a writer, she longed to see the passenger pigeon once again, so she brought it back from extinction and gave it a strong presence in saving mankind from a modern-day bird flu pandemic. She is also an instrument-rated pilot, which certainly contributed to the overall understanding of long flight. She does include a PowerPoint display of the bird and key people involved, such as Audubon and Chief Pokagon.

Distance willing to travel:
Would consider travel within WA, ID, MT. OR, and perhaps northern CA.
