More thrilling adventures with Matica and Talon.

The poachers are gone and the birds are safe. Now Matica is becoming anxious thinking of the upcoming holiday to Australia – she does not want to go, or leave her birds. But Talon, understanding her misery, helps to ease her mind.

Talon shows Matica the puma and her cubs. But things go wrong when the female puma smells them and attacks. Will they escape the big cat?

As a birthday surprise for Matica, Aikon asked the birds to fly with her for the whole day. The birds agree and the thrilling adventures she has now with near misses, the finding of old bones, snakes and spiders, Talon Windsong adventures will keep you turning the pages and on the edge of your seat.

Events take a sudden turn when she is invited to see Elcano, the very old and frail father of the village elder Pajaro. Not once, but three times he summons her. She is afraid of him but he fascinates her. He calls her ‘his daughter’ Why? The amazing things he is about to tell her could be life-changing, things she had never thought about.

Will Matica be able to cope with these life-changing disclosures?

In the midst of all this, the poachers are back, looking for eggs and birds – and Talon.

The Story Behind The Books

~ Gigi Sedlmayer ~ Leave a comment

The Talon Story

I wanted to write a story about a handicapped or challenged girl to show readers what they can achieve if they put their minds not to the negativity but to the positivity. As Matica had to learn it as well, and I have done nearly my whole life myself: Being rejected in school as well, I was always an outsider, keeping to myself in the shell of a turtle, had hardly any friends.

Since I love birds, I decided to let her have a bird. But then came, what bird? And then the idea went even further. What if she could fly on the bird? That would be something. But to do that, she has to have a disability to be very small. But again, the bird has to be big as well. And there the condor came to my mind.

I loved the condors before. Amazing birds. They are the biggest land birds (vulture) on our wonderful earth. And so the story about Matica and Talon came to existence. And then I had to set the scene in Peru close to the great Andes where the condors live.

And so it came, that I decided to let her family go to Peru as missionary from Australia.
