About the author
Award-winning author Marion Day’s inspiration often comes from the natural elements around her. She has written 13 full-length books, and many short stories and poems, including young teen novels in the hunting/fishing genre and a series of children’s picture books based on New Zealand flora and fauna. Her two bestseller biographies, Injun Joe and Blood Brothers, both about helicopter-based deer hunters, achieved top-10 status and sold several thousand copies each.
