I Never Found You

Emma Jon-Michael Frank

Floating World

A birdwatcher finds something terrible in the woods entering him into a strange and desperate world.

Egbert is a member of the Cocoon County Birding Club. While his fellow birders are obsessed with invasive species, or compulsive internet donating, his goal is to add a rare “Painted Bunting” to his life list. His online therapist says everything happens for a reason. But what do you do when that reason stops benefitting you?

Part murder mystery, and part mystery of the self, I Never Found You is a story about unrequited love, mystical detectives, and late night arts & crafts, in a world made increasingly hostile by dark human influence.
