Odd Ducks and Birds of a Feather—A Mystery of Type

A trip to NeverWas is good for the heart, mind, and spirit.

Odd Ducks and Birds of a Feather is a fictional story of sixteen memorable characters who live in the small town of NeverWas.

The townsfolk find themselves saying more and more, “Well, I never,” and in NeverWas that’s not good. What’s causing it? The odd ducks have taken up residence and are making the townsfolk scramble. The newspaper editor is continually proposing new ideas. The good mayor keeps wringing her hands. Folk are experiencing peculiar symptoms. A resident is being talked about in hushed whispers, and a stranger appears in town.

As the story unfolds, you will encounter townsfolk who through their words and actions will provide you with clues to help you TYPE their personality preferences. You will also find yourself identifying with certain characters, and eventually find yourself—your personality type—in NeverWas.
