owl citing

On our dog walk this morning, heard what sounded like a gorilla putting on roller skates. Searching the trees above, I spotted a huge barred owl watching us. Our noble hound wanted out of there pronto. Of course this scene made it into the Yuri Gagarin novel. (Save this anecdote for the Cliffs Notes).

Hello there. I got the idea for a new novel earlier this winter and have been writing it since March--and today I found out that next month is the 60th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin traveling into outer space. It must be kizmet because he is the star of my new book. I'm tuned into the frequency.
