4 unnatural creatures and 70 natural ones

[truepenny]

1. The proof of Unnatural Creatuers has arrived. I'll go through it this weekend, enter the corrections on Monday, and make the Lulu order.

This means that the sale extension will end around midnight, Monday/Tuesday.

2. The proof came in a flat box, like a pizza box, exactly the right size for a cat to loaf on. Since El Marmalado has already demonstrated his fondness for sitting on boxes, I put it out on the porch for him. Sure enough, a little later, when we were leaving to go meet a friend for coffee, there he was on the box.

3. Segue! The pen with which I will be signing Unnatural Creatures is my new Pelikan Technixx. I love this pen. And Fountain Pen Hospital still has it on sale for $40.

4. And I should show you the cover art (by the fabulous hominysnark):


5. Finally, moving from unnatural to natural, (via matociquala (on Twitter)), 70 baby animals. (I'm not sure all of them are technically babies, but then, I'm not sure I could tell a juvenile hamster from an adult anyway.) My favorites are the otter pups. And the bat.

I <3 all my Pelikans, cheap pens though they are, and as good as the low end is, I have to wonder what the one that cost serious money are like.

*whistles* Go, new book of Booth stories!

I have no working brain: I forgot to ask you to sign Unnatural Creatures to me. Should I go and put a comment on the sale post?

Terrific Cover!
Btw, I've been dying to mention how much I love your "cat reports" :D
