Blue Tara Trilogy: Princess Tara Chronicles

★★★★★ Fast and Feathery

Michael Ostrogorsky lives in Seattle, Washington with a flock of parrots and a coffee business and apparently a very creative mind to turn out this wild and woolly (or, more appropriately, fast and feathery) yarn about meeting a parrot who turns out to be so much more than he ever imagined (that happens to most of us who turn over our lives to an avian tyrant) and leads him through several apocalyptic turns, all firmly rooted in real-life Seattle. Three, even four dimensions are not enough for him and Princess Tara, who is, of course, just a hyacinth macaw (yeah, sure), as they ramble through Vajrayana Buddhism, shamanism, and even a bit of contemporary politics. I have never tasted his coffee, but after reading this yarn, I say, "I'll have what he's having!"

Parrots and Witches; Or, Love. Desire. Ambition. Faith. Without Them, Life Is So Simple, Believe Me


I closed my eyes. I could feel Jean’s breasts press into my chest. Loose strands of her long flowing brunette hair tickled my nose. Her breathes, initially short and rapid, slowed to a relaxed warm pulse against my cheek. Her clothes reeked of sweat infused with the stench of fired gunpowder. I could still hear the last echoes of machine gun fire fade across the darkened walls of the enclosure like the staccato clicking of a tap dancer’s shoes slowly drifting off a stage.

NEW SECOND EDITION of the caffeinated spine-tingling head-lopping conclusion to the Blue Tara Trilogy, Book Three of the Princess Tara Chronicles, now available in a dead tree edition from Blue Parrot Books. Bigger and Better than ever!

One Foot in Sea, and One on Shore, To One Thing Constant Never


 Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no more
Of dumps so dull and heavy.
The fraud of men was ever so
Since summer first was leafy.
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey, nonny, nonny.

William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing
