“Hearts of the Missing” by Carol Potenza
[sc:text-divider text-divider-title=”Story continues below gallery” ]
When a young woman linked to a list of missing Fire-Sky tribal members commits suicide, Pueblo Police Sergeant Nicky Matthews is assigned to the case. As the investigation unfolds, she uncovers a threat that strikes at the very heart of what it means to be a Fire-Sky Native: victims chosen and murdered because of their genetic makeup. But these deaths are not just about a life taken. In a vengeful twist, the killer ensures the spirits of those targeted will wander forever, lost to their family, their People, and their ancestors. When those closest to Nicky are put in jeopardy, she must be willing to sacrifice everything, her career, her life, even her soul, to save the people she is sworn to protect.

“Mrs. Moreau’s Warbler: How Birds Got Their Names” by Stephen Moss
From the common starling to the many-colored rush tyrant, the names we have given to birds are some of the most vivid and evocative words in the English language. They can carry whole stories — of arctic expeditions, pitched battles between rival ornithologists or touching romantic gestures. Through fascinating encounters with the bird kingdom and the rich cast of characters responsible for coming up with their names, in “Mrs. Moreau’s Warbler,” Stephen Moss shows how these words reveal as much about ourselves and our relationship with the natural world as about the creatures they describe.
