Layne Maheu is a woodworker and an instructor at the Muckleshoot Tribal School in Auburn, Washington, and spends some summers as a commercial fisherman in Alaska. “I like working with my hands in the day,” he says, “it frees up my mind to tell stories.”

Forthcoming from Chatwin in June, 2021 is his second novel, Man of the World. We will also be re-issuing Layne’s first novel, Song of the Crow, which was a Booksense Pick (now IndieBound) and received a starred review from The Library Journal.
