New story added Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic (Hostile Crossing)

Proud to announce that my short story collection, Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic, has been updated with its 33rd entry. Called "Hostile Crossing," it takes place in the Elhraz Formation of Early Cretaceous Niger, 112 million years ago. In it, a herd of Lurdusaurus, including a mother and daughter pair named Musa and Bala, make their way across the swamp waters only to encounter a group of voracious Sarcosuchus. This is among the oldest ideas I've had in mind for Prehistoric Wild, making it one that I was very eager to write up. Plus, what better time to have story with such a suspense-filled premise than this close to Halloween? Can't wait to hear what ya'll end up thinking of it. https://www.wattpad.com/1489035576-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-hostile

Prehistoric frozen lake scene

CLIP #7 - Mute swans evolved in the early Holocene, making this the first scene definitely NOT taking place in the Pleistocene. The fish swimming underwater beneath the sleeping dinosaur are Eurasian Carp, and European Perch!

European Hamster

European Hamsters (or Eurasian Hamsters) aren’t the only wild hamster species but they’re definitely my favorite! Their vibrant patterns and abnormal size of 8-14 inches makes them unique and definitely of note in my book. I also have a soft spot for rodents. I miss you Charlie. <3

New story added to Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic (Monster Among Dwarves)

Proud to announce that my short story collection, Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic, has been updated with its 32nd entry. Called "Monster Among Dwarves," it takes place in the Süntel Formation of Late Jurassic Germany, 150 million years ago. In it, a female Torvosaurus named Gunda arrives to an island via a land bridge and starts to have an invasive species effect on the local population of Europasaurus. This one idea I've had in mind since first developing Prehistoric Wild, thus I'm happy to have it ready not only in time for the Halloween season, but also the day before my birthday. Can't wait to hear what y'all end up thinking of it. https://www.wattpad.com/1486826465-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-monster
