Elephants
You just have to take a look at this footage of elephants crossing a river in Africa. Enchanting...until one realizes that with the current rate of slaughter this kind of magical sight may not be happening for very much longer - so the enjoyment is bitter sweet.

The key to good writing is allowing the reader's imagination to roam free of limitation.
Review of RISING OF A DEAD MOON on Shelf Stacker
"The writing is sparse but I had no problem picturing the events in the story and I love it when a writer manages to pull that off."

The best feedback any writer can hope for? Maybe I'm getting somewhere...

WARNING **RISING OF A DEAD MOON may cause sleepless nights**
I feel compelled to issue this warning NOT to read RISING OF A DEAD MOON.
Apparently scientists at Basel University, Switzerland have discovered that a full moon causes sleepless nights. Researchers found a one third drop in brain activity related to deep sleep and a drop off in levels of melatonin in their sample survey.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-2340...
You have been warned. DON'T READ THE BOOK
For insomniacs and werewolves only, here's the link:
