If you live with a cat who insists on climbing on top of your book while you are reading or a dog who is begging for a scratch while you are trying to squeeze in one more chapter, then you already share something with Chandler.

In 2013, after reading and studying so many stories, Chandler decided that it was time for him to give something back, to write adventures for our day. If after reading his books, you feel closer to the animals around you, find a momentary relief from your troubles, or gain a new insight to enrich your life, then the work to get these stories to you will have been worth it. And if you find the stories just plain fun, that's fine too.

(For those looking for credentials, Chandler holds a Ph.D. in ethics and literature f

But the story I remember most vividly centered on a snow leopard hunting an ibex in the Himalayan Mountains. I was in eleventh grade, and most of my classmates were writing teen coming-of-age stories, but mine stood out to my teacher, who wrote the word "exotic" across the top of my paper. I treasure that memory and hope one day soon to get back around to a new snow leopard story.(less)

Stefania, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. That grief is always difficult.

I do appreciate your question and think it is a great one for World Wildlife Day.

Having read Call of the Wild as a boy, I grew up with a vision of the harshness of wolf pack life, but my own observations (of wolves in captivity) coupled with research (particularly the work of Jim and Jamie Dutcher) revealed another side--how wolves work together in hunting, in raising pups, and in caring for wounded members.

And as Wolf Code came together and I researched both Cherokee culture and wolf pack politics, I heard Cherokee storytellers drawing connections between the potential extinction of the red wolf and the threat of losing Cherokee ways. The symbolism gives you pause. We in the United States live with the legacy of a dark and troubled history.

I hope those who read Wolf Code will come away with both a renewed appreciation for the Cherokee people and a realization that wolves are not just "dangerous animals we cannot control," but they are misunderstood social animals who are devoted toward one another. Wolves are not pets, so we cannot see them through the same lens as the dogs who wait for us at home, but they are animals with whom we can live if we work at it. Respect is key.(less)

The Rings of Power: An Initial Review

Let’s get this out of the way: Rings of Power is not Tolkien, even if Amazon paid to have The Lord of the Rings in the title. These stories are essentially fan fiction. I have been waiting expectantly for this premiere for months while also being worried that it may distort the Tolkien ...

Quotes by Chandler Brett  (?)

“For a moment its eyes locked, frozen in panic, with Kan’s, the uneasy communion between predator and prey.”
Chandler Brett, Wolf Code: A Sheltering Wilderness

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
C.S. Lewis

“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”
Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

“No one is useless in this world,’ retorted the Secretary, ‘who lightens the burden of it for any one else”
Charles Dickens, The Complete Works of Charles Dickens

“For a moment its eyes locked, frozen in panic, with Kan’s, the uneasy communion between predator and prey.”
Chandler Brett, Wolf Code: A Sheltering Wilderness

“It was, he supposed, a manifestation of that romantic and unreasonable phenomenon known as chivalry. If he extricated himself alive from this predicament, he would see to it that whatever follies he committed in the future, chivalry would certainly not be found amongst them. Experience had cured him of any leanings in that direction.”
Rafael Sabatini, Bellarion The Fortunate
