For Immediate Release
The First BirdBy Rick Rose
"A charming tale of one adventurous life, its upheavals, mysteries, losses, and loves. What is valuable and what is not? Here we get the bird's eye view." Karen Joy Fowler, Author of best-selling The Jane Austin Book Club
Theo is an African Grey parrot who has the unique ability to tell his own story. He's a channeled combination of Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker and Gandhi. We follow his adventures through a colorful cast of keepers landing him in The White House as The First Bird. Along the way we're treated to his take on the follies and triumphs of mankind in their pursuit of The Bad Karma Diamond.
Where's the priceless Bad Karma Diamond? Only Theo, The First Bird, knows and he'll tell the whole story to anyone who'll listen. But can a parrot really talk? And just how could a parrot write a book in the first place?
These and deeper questions are answered as we follow the life of an African Grey Parrot and his keepers from a pre-World War Two gardener in San Diego to the halls of the present day White House. During the search for the diamond we learn what Theo has to say about mankind, from our worst sins to our most shining attributes.
Rick Rose lives in Arizona with his wife, Carolyn, and their sweet dog Kita. They don't keep a parrot but sponsor one at The Oasis Sanctuary. Rick's checkered career path laid a perfect foundation for his writing. He's been a busboy, waiter, bartender, wine salesman, retail manager, and limousine driver to the stars, private investigator, computer wizard and real estate professional. He holds a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology. Rick plays a Fender Stratocaster through a custom set of sound pedals powered by a Marshal amplifier. His favorite artists include Calexico, Neil Young and Maglich.
The First Bird is available through the publisher, Inkwell Productions, LLC and distributors: Ingram and Baker & Taylor. Rick Rose is available for speaking engagements as well as book signings.
