Border songs

Set in the previously sleepy hinterlands straddling Washington state and British Columbia, Border Songs is the story of Brandon Vanderkool, six foot eight, frequently tongue-tied, severely dyslexic, and romantically inept. Passionate about bird-watching, Brandon has a hard time mustering enthusiasm for his new job as a Border Patrol agent guarding thirty miles of largely invisible boundary. But to everyone's surprise, he excels at catching illegals, and as drug runners, politicians, surveillance cameras, and a potential sweetheart flock to this scrap of land, Brandon is suddenly at the center of something much bigger than himself.

  • "Brandon Vanderkool's severe dyslexia and six-foot-eight height give him an unusual perspective on his new job with the American Border Patrol along the Washington/BC border. He is surprisingly adept at intercepting Canadian pot smugglers and potentially dangerous illegals, but one young lady with a green thumb is complicating Brandon's world."

  • "A tender, comic and beautifully peculiar new novel. Six-foot-eight and severely dyslexic, Brandon Venderkool has always had an unusual perspective. He knows the mating call of all the local owls, and can feel a flock of swans taking off before the sound reaches him. But he finds human feelings harder to read, especially lately."
