Once, they were here. Now they are not. Someone saw them go.
Every species that has ever gone extinct was witnessed by someone. A farmer noticed the last flock was smaller. A sailor noticed the beach was empty. A keeper noticed the cage was quiet. Their names are not in the scientific record. Their grief is not catalogued. Their testimony is not preserved.
Until now.
The Last is a series of standalone historical fictions. Each book tells the story of a real extinction — not from the scientist who wrote the paper or the politician who failed to pass the law, but from the person who was there. The keeper who fed the last bird every morning. The fisherman who killed the last breeding pair for a collector. The caretaker who found the body after forty years of daily vigil. The person whose hands were closest to the end.
Every book is grounded in the documented record — real dates, real places, real animals. Where the record is silent, the books create plausible, emotionally truthful fiction. You will never be sure where the science ends and the invention begins.
These are short books. Grief is not verbose.
