From Con Man to Bird Man: Meet the Funniest Character I’ve Ever Written 

After reading Remarkably Bright Creatures and falling in love with Marcellus the octopus, I was inspired to include a talking bird in my next series. What started as a fun, innocent idea quickly took a wild turn: what if this bird was actually a former con man, who, after his untimely death, has no choice but to inhabit a bird’s body or risk going straight to hell? The result? One of the funniest characters I’ve ever written.
