Blue Tara: Or, How Is a Hyacinth Macaw Parrot Like a Tibetan Goddess?

Michael Ostrogorsky

I originally got a parrot because an old black guy with a parrot store convinced me that would help me pick up chicks. And I don't mean the poultry kind. Picked out a parrot at this old black guy's bird store here in Seattle that was big, blue, and loud. And a princess. The loudness I didn't learn about until too late. But that was the least of my problems. First of all, turns out I did not actually pick out the parrot. The parrot picked me. Not only was the parrot big, blue, and loud. And a princess. The parrot was a witch. Not a figurative or allegorical witch. A literal witch. A witch of the spell casting kind. The abracadabra kind. A witch with a coffee addiction, and a penchant for pizza and beer. Once I entered the bird store the parrot cast a spell. The kind of spell that caused me to clean out my bank account for a big, loud, blue-feathered witch. The kind of witch who did not abide with girlfriends. The kind of witch who did not abide with not getting her way. The kind of witch who turned out to be my guardian angel and the proverbial albatross around my neck at the same time. A witch named Princess Tara.

Praise for this book

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Caffeine fueled fantasy ride. Blue Tara grabbed my interest immediately! I couldn't put it down, as it rushed me headlong into a supernatural world that is a mix of history and fast paced fantasy. The characters are so believable I felt that I knew them. What a fun read for a parrot owner!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well written with great word pictures! I could see it happening in my mind and not many books do that for me.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Urban fantasy brilliance = just add macaw!!! Brilliant urban fantasy written by the best kind of author. One owned by macaws! Fast paced story, well created fantasy world overlay to the world we live in, and so many times I laughed myself sick thinking 'that is JUST what my macaw would be saying in that situation!' As all bird folk know, macaws ARE royalty afterall, and consider themselves gods, so it's no surprise to find out the truth hidden in THIS urban fantasy realm!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sit back and come along for the ride! Even if you never read urban fantasy before, or never met a real live macaw in person, you are guaranteed to find wonder and hilarity within!!! As an urban fantasy connoisseur/bird slave, who is owned by not one, but Two macaws, I can assure you this is the best quality read you will find in a long while!
