Monroe, LA Author Publishes Novel of Birds

Harley and Regina, a new book by Ralph Roland Karst, Ph. D, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Harley and Regina is a mythology of birds in the guise of human beings. Harley is a red-tailed hawk from Kansas who battles for peace and unity. Regina is a harpy eagle from the Amazon valley who seeks to defeat Harley with her evil intentions and dictatorial rule.

Harley raises an army of volunteer birds from across North America to defeat her, while Regina uses death squads, deception, lies, and brute physical power to defeat him in her quest for the Americas, and ultimately, the world. The struggle is between good and evil. Who shall win and at what cost?
