I've been neglecting to do these as they come to hand. Wolves three has had a rocky start, but it's starting to smooth out as I write this. Here's the work schedule and excerpt for Day 3 of writing Book 3 of the Lunar Wolves series:

Excerpt: In which food and werewolf politics are discussed:

Aylin’s smile grew wider.

“You have nothing to fear.”

Belle gulped. “Because I’m off-world?”

That brought an abrupt shake of the head. “Because the gerakkin pay their debts. They owe you many times over.”

Belle’s eyes widened. “I didn’t do much,” she whispered.

“You tipped the balance from failure to success on more than one occasion,” Aylin told her.

“And you know this, how?” Belle asked.

“Because the gerakkin colony is supported by Ank’Regar’s father,” Aylin answered simply, “…although now I’ve told you that, you’d best hope your mate helps me succeed in finding and neutralizing the threat to Ank’s father.”

Belle arched her eyebrows. “And why is that?”

“Because I’ll have to kill you, otherwise,” the girl stated.

Oliver rumbled out a warning growl, but he still didn’t shift from the floor. Aylin cocked her head, and turned back to the kitchenette.

“I’m going to need something more than just synth steak,” she informed the ship.

“We make seafall in eight standard hours,” the ship replied. “I am assuming a piscine supplement will suffice.”

“We are not cats,” Oliver protested, and Aylin giggled.

“Govra fillets,” she informed the HMT. “They’re higher in protein and iron than steaks…and contain some beneficial extras.”

“What, fish oil for shiny coats?” Belle suggested.

“That, too,” Aylin confirmed, “although I was thinking of a certain complex substance that sped healing and increased cognitive function, if only for the short term.”

“What are you trying to say?” Oliver demanded, and Aylin nudged Lewis’s comatose form.

“That your beta needs something more than just meat and vitamins from a can.”

“Hmph.” Oliver pushed from slumping to sitting. “Gonna take more than fish to manage that.”

Australian Insects: An Unknown Caterpillar eating Grevillea flower buds

-

So, this little guy nearly bought it when I caught it eating the still-forming buds on my Robyn grevillea, but then I thought I might like to see which particular butterfly was responsible, so I took some pictures and decided to keep an eye on it, so I knew when it pupated. The first shot - caterpillar happily nibbling on flower buds:  Yup - definitely nibbling: And here's another view. Note the little yellow lumps near its back end. Same day, but it was one of those cloudy days with variegated light. And it kept nibbling for quite some time: Stretching out to get the more tasty tidbits, and using its hind feet to keep a firm grip on the branch. Eventually it looped back on itself... ...and headed into denser foliage. It didn't always move in a straight line... How come caterpillars have more feet than butterflies? Eventually, it got into some much thicker growth (well, for a young grevillea, anyway), meaning it was somewhat prot

PokemonGo Tips - Earning the Berry Master Medal

-

Another relatively easy one to earn, but it takes time. Main tip? Feed Them All. Well, okay, it's a bit more like this: Only the berries you feed to a pokemon in a gym count. You can only feed berries to pokemon in a gym that belongs to your team. You can feed up to a maximum of 10 berries to each pokemon. You can feed any pokemon that belongs to a team member, as well as your own. You can feed your team's pokemon from home, as long as you have a pokemon in the same gym - as last week's post showed. It's interesting, but really annoying if you accidentally feed a golden razzberry to a pokemon in a gym... just sayin'. Sometimes, not having a berry on hand to help catch a pokemon is also annoying - especially when you've just fed all yours to your team's pokemon - so think about that before you go all out stuffing their faces; the medal is pretty, but catching stuff is cool, too. Also, pokemon are little piggies when it comes to berries. And that&

NEW RELEASE: AUTUMNAL THREAT

-
Image
An alien autumn. An unseen predator. Deadly burrowers and an oncoming winter. And bugs big enough to ride. Joaquin only wants to warn his daughter of a new danger. To keep her safe. To make her understand her mother isn’t coming back, while keeping her alive. But what if he’s wrong? What if Mariam really did survive? What if, when everything looks like it’s going wrong, it’s really going right? Autumnal Threat is Joaquin's story. It is a father's story...and the story of a husband who misses his wife, and wants to keep his daughter safe from a new threat on their frontier world. It's a story of hope, and not giving up, and of family, as well as an exploration of what an alien eco-system might look like. It was a lot of fun to write. You can find links to this newly released, stand-alone, science-fiction short story on this Books2Read page: https://books2read.com/u/mgyopK or read an earlier version in A Collection of Lost Ships and Colonies .
