    About this ebook

    Following the life of an eccentric nature lover from young naturalist to animal researcher, and how she comes to terms with life and death. Through her experiences in observing wildlife and with the spirits of the departed, she finds her own identity among the living.

    *

    Joanna is an extraordinarily observant lover of wildlife, who relates better to animals than people. Ever the outsider, she prefers isolation in researching the lives of badgers to building up relationships or keeping them going. Solitariness has its costs though, and as she begins to doubt her own worth she chooses to depart the circle of life. Closer to death than life, Jo finds strange advisers to show her that she still has work to do on Earth. The dead are among us, and she doesn't need to join them quite yet.

    Paul Whybrow

    Paul Whybrow has a young head on old shoulders. Ex many things, including being a teacher, counsellor, librarian, dispatch rider, milkman, postman, bar man, house renovator, classic vehicle restorer, courier, van driver, factory worker, project manager, live-in carer for the elderly, editor, photographer, volunteer at a community centre, play-schemes, homeless campaigns and nature conservation projects. I wrote non-fiction magazine articles for ages, but turned to creative writing in the summer of 2013. I've been my own boss for a long time, which means I'm working for an idiot and the pay is lousy—but the holidays are great. Paul Whybrow has a good heart inside a battered chest.
