Vacation
Just back from a lovely (although very, very warm) vacation on St. John in the Virgin Islands. (I thought they must be named after Queen Elizabeth I, but no, they are actually named after St. Ursula and her eleven thousand virgins, in case you were wondering, as I was.) Trying to get my head back into the writing game…more next week!

Nycticorax
The latest legendary creature to get a mention in The Griffin’s Boy, which I just sent off to my editor…the nycticorax. A crow-like bird supposed to be an ill omen and a natural enemy of the pelican, although I think the poor thing is probably just misunderstood.
The Latin name of the unlegendary night heron is Nycticorax nycticorax, and they do have eyes that glow an unnerving red at night…I can see why people might be a tad jumpy about them.
