Can you identify this critter?

To the right and below is a picture of a friendly critter that, in part, plays a part in Flank Hawk? (Hint: It's closely linked to one of the main characters).

My first encounter with one of these little mammals was along the crick that ran behind my grandparent's house when I was a kid--maybe 5 or 6 years of age. I occasionally spotted turtles there too! :)

Test your North American fauna knowledge.
Do you know what the pictured animal is?

"If you value your lives, be somewhere else."

One of the memorable quotes from Babylon 5--a series which I very much enjoyed, even more so in reruns and DVD.

The video clip with this blog's title quote occurs right after a major space battle where the space station Babylon 5 has been heavily damaged and more enemy destroyers (Earth Fleet Ships under the corrupt President Clark) have arrived to finish the job. The background music works to make the scene even better.

The special effects were top notch for their time--and remain respectable by today's standards. If you're interested, below is a link to the highlights of the battle that preceded Delen's quote.

Civil War has broken out, Babylon 5 stands with two Earth Destroyers, opposing President Clark's forces: Battle from Severed Dreams.

What I really enjoyed about B5 was the character development and the solid story arc, elements weak or lacking in so many other SF series.

"It Was a Mistake" published in Rubber Lemon

-
My short story, "It Was a Mistake" is now available for reading in Rubber Lemon, a United Kingdom online magazine.

The website is a bit odd to navigate (at least in my browser). Just select the Second Issue (on the bottom left). My story covers pages 15 thru 17.

Hope you enjoy the read and let me know what you think.

**Went back in to check today (9/15) and they reformatted the site so it's easier to navigate, and issue two is right up front. :)
