The Falcon with a Broken Heart. New Book…!!!

Posted on 14/02/2026 by admin

So it’s taken three years but what started in Royal Sussex Hospital has now been published by David Shaw Publishing…completely a labour of love …!!! I was determined to publish for the 25th Anniversary!!!

A gentle, true story of resilience, healing, and finding home.

Maverick the peregrine falcon has faced hardship, recovery, and a long journey to belonging. Through searching skies and changing places, he discovers that sometimes the place you are meant to be has been waiting for you all along.

All proceeds from this book are shared between the British Heart Foundation and the Chichester Peregrine Project.

The book will have its official launch on the first weekend of the open days The 6th and 7th of June.

If you can’t wait that long for your copy then you can buy from Amazon http://amzn.eu/d/0hNEaCuR and in USA Barnes and Noble and in Australia , Booktopia so it’s widely available already. I hope you guys all enjoy it .You can’t imagine the Love and Work I put in to it , to make it happen…..I always thought it would but I had moments of complete despair when it got so hard to carry on and then in the end euphoria and elation when at last I got there ….!!!
