About this ebook
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.

Reviews for Blue Tara; Or, How Is a Hyacinth Macaw Parrot Like a Tibetan Goddess?
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A gigantic, naked, blue, battle-scarred goddess. An enormous lioness with steel blades for claws. Together they fight for the future of the world against ghouls, zombies and murderous Furies led by Winalagalis, the ancient war God bent on destruction. Caught in the middle are two aging academics and a lady barista.
If that isn't enough to catch your interest there's history and mythology and some pretty prescient political foreshadowing.
My only quibble is that we need to read the next book in the series to meet the other Tara warriors, otherwise it's a solid action adventure.
