New Stuff

June 15		Imagine my surprise when within a month of having one novel accepted by Zetabella, I have another accepted by ReAnimus Press: The Gilded Basilisk, a fantasy novel featuring suspense and humor. With luck, both novels will be published this year. Details to follow! Also, my story "Boccaccio in Outer Space" is now available in the June issue of the free online magazine Perihelion SF.
		I've encountered a (for me) new butterfly, a small skipper: the Hobomok
2		I've added a little information about my forthcoming YA fantasy novel, Einar and the Cursed City, in my bibliography, which now includes my in-press story for Perihelion Science Fiction.
		I've added a second page of beautiful tundra swans in flight photos, taken at Middle Creek this past March; the page theme is show many swans.
May 26		To confess: I'm somewhat out of it, as I'm in the midst of signing a contract with Zetabella Press to publish my young adult fantasy novel. More news to follow!
13		At last, I've gotten it together to present some beautiful photos of tundra swans in flight, taken at Middle Creek this past March.
		Also, I've had a story accepted by Perihelion SF, and so I hope to be updating my bibliography shortly.
Apr. 28		Where goes all my time? I had prepared the following sequence last week, but . . . Anyway, here are a pair of beautiful osprey.
6		A photo sequence of a bald eagle going fishing.
Mar. 31		I finished my photo coverage of the event Wild About Animals, and my page includes links to all the photo albums.
Mar. 24		On Saturday, March 16, 2013, was the 14th annual event, Wild About Animals, at the Penn State Ag Arena. It was a huge success, and my page includes links to photo albums of the activities (I haven't finished yet, but it's a beginning).
Mar. 9		Last Sunday, Sue and I went to Middle Creek to see snow geese; however, they weren't on the lake. Saving the trip were a thousand tundra swans as well as an assortment of other waterbirds, including the duck, northern shoveler.
Feb. 24		What, I'm gone for two weeks and return with more pileated woodpecker photos? I'm afraid so, but these four portraits are something else.
		In other good news, I've had a story accepted for the Whortleberry Press anthology Strange Lucky Mysteries: ":Born Lucky" (and I really have to update my biblio to bring it up to date, such as listing Dogcasts of two stories).
Feb. 10		Trading places: A comparison between a hairy woodpecker and a pileated woodpecker, on the tree trunk and in flight.
Jan. 28		My continuation of the release of Canace the bald eagle: His first flight in the wild.
20		On the previous Thursday, I participated in the release of Canace the bald eagle. Wow!
6		So much to update for the new year, and hopefully I'll get to it next week. In the meantime, here is a sequence of a beautiful gray squirrel and snow.
1		I thought I'd begin the new year (and Happy New Year! everyone) with something a little different: An oncoming glider photo sequence.
Dec. 24		Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate), and here is a colorful sequence: A pilated woodpecker and his bright red cap (Santa Claus?).
16		For today's update, I returned to the northern flicker, a wonderfully colorful woodpecker (especially in flight).
		And perhaps spare a thought or prayer for the unfortunate children and adults killed in Newtown, Conn. (as well as for those elsewhere in the world), a tragedy that should not have happened.
9		A fast, new page but one of beauty: Great blue heron.
2		I'm slowly catching up with my freelancing. So I thought to perhaps try to catch up a little with my bird list, adding today an American coot.
Nov. 25		Something new for me: A great crested flycatcher.
18		Updating continues! Today it's the turn of the downy woodpecker.
11		For a long time now I've intended to update my hairy woodpecker photos, and today I think I did the bird justice, including male, female, and immature hairies.
4		Today I summarized hawk watching at Jo Hays Vista by seven photos for three days at Jo Hays.
