(Must be intersting writing for the Buffalo News. I can see it now: headlines--"Extinction Still A Possibility", "Anti-Thundering Ordinances Affect Herds", "Ten Top Wallows".
It seemed like you might be interested in my new group, Self Publishing. It's new but offers a good opportunity to get in on the ground floor of what should become a useful resource for writers who want to be their own publisher.
Thanks for extending the opportunity to be a friend.
I'm all yours....
Let's connect in the coming weeks.

Thanks for the invite. My book (The Brat Chronicles) has been out since January and I've been marketing it using every avenue at my disposal. (Book Clubs, radio, universities, even Craig's List) There are no small audiences ...
every contact has potential.
