Paperback & ebook, 352 Pages
December 11th 2018 by Amberjack Publishing
Summary
The curious flight patterns of crows lead a teen computer programmer down a path of mystery and romance.
Gin trusts logic a little too much. She even designs programs to decide what to eat and how to spend her time. All that changes when she’s paired with a new transfer student, Felix, on a computer modeling assignment to explain certain anomalies in the behavior of crows.
As she enters Felix’s world and digs further into the data behind crow behavior, Gin uncovers a terrible secret. And the wrong decision could equal disaster squared . . .

Praise for CROW FLIGHT
"You'll adore Gin, who's determined to apply her brilliant computer skills to the mysteries of love... and in doing so, finds herself caught up in high-stakes intrigue. We cheer her on as she learns to trust her gut and heart along with her tech-savvy mind. CROW FLIGHT is a soaring debut from an author to watch." ―Laura Resau, author of RED GLASS
"A timely, fun story that flies across the pages and into your heart. A romantic tale with intriguing content, Cunningham delivers a compelling read about the predictability of life and love. ―Donna Cooner, author of SKINNY and SCREENSHOT
"Crow Flight is a delicious novel. Gin has decided what her life should look like - and it involves logic, equations, computer models, coding, ambition, and over-achieving. An unexpected twist forces her to reconsider, and rather suddenly she finds herself in new territory - a path that calls forth the heart, the willingness to adventure, and most importantly, an effort at finding and honoring the immaterial truth. When an English teacher asks her to consider Victor Hugo's contention that 'One must have bread, but before bread, one must have the ideal,' she boldly launches forth into a world of discovery, romance, and danger. This book, like Gin's adventure, is a beauty." ―Laura Pritchett, winner of the PEN USA Award in Fiction

Fill in the Blanks with Author Susan Cunningham
- The glowing green-blue crow is my favorite thing about the cover of CROW FLIGHT.
- The main reason Gin trusts
logic so much is because she
fears that her gut will fail her.
- Gin would describe Felix as super smart and annoyingly cute.
- Felix would describe Gin as impressively smart and thankfully outside the bell curve.
- Gin and Felix would say the
most interesting fact about crows is how
they’re as intelligent as the great apes, dolphins and four-year-old
children.
- CROW FLIGHT challenged me by
sometimes taking fantastical
twists as I wrote it.
- My favorite thing about the
story is when Gin and Felix fall
for each other during their date in the city.
- Don’t quit – even though you’ll feel like it – is the one piece of advice I’d give to
aspiring authors.
- Right now From Twinkle, with Love
is the book waiting for me to read next.
- I have a love/hate
relationship with revising.
- Chocolate is
my go-to treat/snack when I’m craving something.
- I’m looking forward to
watching Aladdin in the
theaters.
- I last binge watched the Numb3rs show.
- If you got in my car right
now, you’d hear Imagine Dragons
playing through my speakers.
- Fall is my favorite time of the year. (Crisp nights, jeans, chili and
colorful trees – ahhh!)
- Consuming lots of chocolate is what I did for Valentine’s Day.
- I like my pizza with ham and pineapple on top.
- Remote hiking trails in the Rocky Mountains are my favorite place to vacation.
- One thing I can’t live
without is my YETI mug for hot
drinks.
- I’m working on another YA romance/mystery
next, to be released sometime
in the future!
