“I’m a big cli-fi enthusiast and thought I saw where this was going. I was wrong. You’ll never look at birds the same way again!”
AMAZON REVIEWER
“An ancient fable of the birds runs through the book as poetry, which serves as a metaphor for the young romantic couple in this tale. The Swallow and the Nightingale tackles a myriad of modern day problems and abuses. There is no hesitation in addressing racism, sexism, waste, pollution, plundering resources and so much more. The lessons of morality are well placed and repeated often enough to have a strong lasting impression.”
Judge, 2nd Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published eBook Awards.
“Iberall uses the past and today’s world to deal with racism, sexism, homophobia, and climate change, exposing the underlying common truth. Shining through this novel is a song, and the music of The Swallow and the Nightingale is worth reading, over and over again.”
HUMMINGBIRD REVIEW
“Thea embodied her character so completely. She was so believable in her performance, I had to remind myself she was the same person I had seen a few minutes earlier. A natural born actor. Brava!”
Lynnette Najimy, Producer, Beanspond Productions

“At the end of an hour of the magic of Thea in her many worlds which she shares with such wit and wisdom, I felt almost as if I had been transmuted into another being so captivating, transforming, inspiring, brilliantly constructed, and affecting were the tales she told and sang. It was an experience I would like to share with everyone I love.”
Bambi Good, lover of stories
“I have never read a work of fiction that combines so much scientific acumen with so much heart—and in a masterfully plotted and paced storyline. This is a book you can abandon yourself to, enjoying a ride through time, fascinating places and human yearnings, confident that you’re in the sure hands of an author who knows a lot about the world and cares deeply about us all.”
