The magical tale of a boy, his dog and a monstrous friend. If by "magical," you mean the boy tells the story to his dog, the dog talks back, and the "friend" is a snarky, Shakespeare-quoting failure of a monster.

The magical tale of a boy, his dog and a monstrous friend. If by "magical," you mean the boy tells the story to his dog, the dog talks back, and the "friend" is a snarky, Shakespeare-quoting failure of a monster. Clayton Stonefly just wants to be brave like Dammit, his dog, and protect Granma from the town bully. But Clay has an unfortunate gift: every time he tells a story, someone dies. Clay just watched his friend, MK, suck the soul out of a man, leaving the man clawing at his chest. Is MK really a friend? Or something much worse? Clay's long-lost parents kept many secrets - and he's finding them out one by one: A family 'calling' that involves monster-wrangling. A family axe with a mind of its own that may or may not be trying to talk to him. A family nemesis, Big Jim, intent on destroying them all. A family curse he can't seem to escape. Fly Stone, Fly is for anyone who loves Granmas, folktales and the beauty of Western America. And Shakesbear. That's right, Shakesbear. It's also for anyone who's ever been loved by a dog. "If Faulkner wrote fantasy, he'd have written something like this... unique, lyrical, and steeped in Americana folklife." --Sunyi Dean, author of The Book Eaters

Autorenporträt
Dust Kunkel grew up in Ghana, West Africa. With a mother from Montana and a father from Oregon, he returned to the Pacific Northwest at age seventeen and fell in love with a Northwest girl and the rivers, mountains and canyons of the Northwest. Over the years he has taught literature, guided the Salmon River in Idaho, foster parented teenagers, managed outdoor schools, and directed student leadership programs at a university. Dust has a BA in Literature, an MSc in Outdoor Education from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, and is an Executive Coach. Dust and his wife, Jan, live in Oregon City, Oregon, and have two daughters launched from the nest, and two elderly retriever-mixes, Bowie and Percy, who will not launch from any nest. In his free time, Dust reads, goes on adventures with Jan, writes and performs songs and fly-fishes the rivers of the Pacific Northwest (he'd happily fly-fish your local river too, if given the chance!).
