Kathleen Rooney’s gripping new novel, Cher Ami and Major Whittlesey, is inspired by true events of World War I.  Rooney resurrects two long-forgotten yet unforgettable figures (WWI Soldier and a carrier pigeon), recounting their tale in a pair of voices that will change the way readers look at animals, freedom, and even history itself.

In addition to writing poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, Rooney is also a founding member of Poems While You Wait, an editor, and English professor.
