Ren�e Thompson writes about wildlife, her love of birds, and the people who inhabit the American West. Her first novel, The Bridge at Valentine, received high praise from Pulitzer Prize-winner Larry McMurtry, author of Lonesome Dove. Ren�e lives in Northern California with her husband Steve.
"A fascinating glimpse into the life of a bird hunter and the
complex social, economic and personal issues swirling around the
birth of the conservation movement."--DAVID SIBLEY, author of The
Sibley Guide to Birds
"Ren�e Thompson's gripping novel transports the reader to a time
when our nation was trying its best to grow up, yet seemed mired in
its own awkward "teen" years...I read this book in one sitting,
finding it no easier to put down than Fin did his hunting
guns."--BILL THOMPSON, III, editor of Bird Watcher's Digest
"Ren�e Thompson brings us to a place of semi-darkness, with its
confused emotions, and allows us to witness the "Hunter" changing
from within. This is a story of process and a quest to
redeem."--FR. TOM PINCELLI, Former Chairman of the American Birding
Association
"Ren�e Thompson's novel The Plume Hunter paints a vivid portrait of
the bad old days of the feather trade, when market gunners
slaughtered stately wading birds by the tens of thousands to
decorate women's hats. A compelling chronicle of avarice, betrayal,
and redemption."--TIM GALLAGHER, author of The Grail Bird
