Dinosaur Stories with a terra green cover!

And we have a second printing of Dinosaur Stories!

This time, the cover is printed on terra green paper. It definitely looks cooler with this colorful cover to contrast with the black and white interior.

Dinosaur Stories contains three graphic narratives featuring dinosaurs and other Mesozoic wildlife, authored by me and originally published in the Mesozine #1-3 (2020-2024), a publication edited by Denis St. John. The book also contains pin-up illustrations of prehistoric reptiles and short essays about the science behind the dinosaur comics. Whether you’re a neophyte or a seasoned dinophile, you’ll find something to thrill to in these pages. For sale on my Etsy site: https://www.etsy.com/.../1785.../dinosaur-stories-comic-book

Alone against the mangroves

 

Although solo travel isn’t my favorite kind, it is worth doing on occasion because one is forced to pay attention to every detail—especially on a wilderness trip.  In the 22 hours between when I departed by kayak from the Hell’s Bay Trailhead on March 7th and when I returned, I saw no other humans.  The only other mammal was an otter who eyed me quizzically in between rounds of swimming and rolling around on shore.   On the Pearl Bay Chickee, with Orion and Canis Major overhead, I reflected that if a count were taken, the score would be six million human souls in the Greater Miami Metropolitan area and one plus the gods know what else on this wooden platform in the estuary, surrounded by mangroves and their nutritive souls.  Crickets sang all night, and I periodically heard flapping and splashing from birds landing on the water.  When I got up for the outhouse at 3:00 AM, Scorpius had replaced Orion.
