“I would like that very much. You have a bargain, lady. I will find you here among the lost souls, trapped women, and birds. I find that my own state has improved, if only slightly. Where I was once likely to travel in the presence of a murder of crows, I find I will only be burdened by an unkindness of ravens. It gives me heart." - A. E. Poe in Nevermore”
― David Niall Wilson, Nevermore - A Novel of Love, Loss, & Edgar Allan Poe

“Age is just a number. It’s totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.” –Joan Collins”
― David Niall Wilson, The DeChance Chronicles Omnibus: Books I - IV

“he needed a crocodile sample to get out. Damned if he cared if it was some mutant crocodile that ran around on its back feet fighting tigers, he was going home.”

Diane Manning I am reaching out to see if you are familiar with Les Daniels' Don Sebastian series (The Black Castle, et al.) Necon has recently reissued them as ebooks. He is also known for his history of comic books. I don't usually read in his genre and don't write in it, but you and I do share a love of pets! Best wishes for your continued success.
