If I were in a comic book, I'd be the walk-on mad scientist who accidentally mutates himself into a monster, leading to the obligatory fight with the hero.
Does your novel require that the person be able to distinguish any individual bird, or just one or two from the main population? If the birds are well known to the person the second is likely to be relatively more straightforward than the former.

I am just saying, if scouting offered a badge in Creepy Effigy Avoidance, we could prevent a lot of these problems.

Funny, my backup plan for not getting tenure was to go into science writing. To that end I sold a couple of dozen natural history articles on lizards and turtles to various reptile hobby magazines at the time (20+ yrs ago now). Figured it would be an entry into the field. Ah, the path not taken...

The thing that end-stage capitalism most resembles at this point is tumor biology. And I speak as a biology PhD with 40 years’ experience. I could write a book on the similarities.

Second grade: Rocket Ship Galileo, which was okay, but was immediately followed by Have Space Suit Will Travel, and I was then truly and utterly hooked on SF

Mine derives from the Latin for the Solomon Island Prehensile-tailed Skink (Corucia zebrata). We kept a trio for many years. Live-bearing, herbivorous, large, amiable and thoroughly awesome. I wrote an article on their mating behavior for a popular press hero magazine 25 years ago.

Loved that cover! I am also admiring your clock. We have a very similar one with slightly different fretwork around the top. Ours is an Ansonia and I suspect yours must be also. Unfortunately, the frosting on the glass of ours has been partially rubbed off.

Incidentally, the phenomena of cat memes and cat pictures on the Internet came up in conversation with friends yesterday. I mentioned your CatNet books and stories. Everyone liked the idea!

A few years ago, I reread both the Penric series and the two subsequent books with an eye to continuity and historical events. I don’t think there’s anything in the either set that would prevent such a time flip.

Yes, that was my thought also. Of course that wouldn’t get us an extra book!
