Originally published by Unbridled Books in June, 2012 and set for paperback release in May 2013, The Bird Saviors received accolades from the Dallas Morning News, San Antonio News, Houston Chronicle, Booklist, Library Journal and many others.
William J. Cobb is the author of a book of stories and two previous novels, including the critically acclaimed Goodnight, Texas. His short fiction has appeared in The New Yorker and many other magazines.
