Pests in the Garden aka Bigfoot sighting

  And I thought I had seen most of the local pests before. I am definitely going to have to get a larger Hav-a-Hart trap if this one keeps invading. Imagine my surprise, going out to check for eggs, and finding this guy hiding out in the shed. I'm six-three, and he was looking down on me.
  Even though he gave me the heebeejeebees, he turned out to be not such a bad guy. Did have a chat with him about staying out of the grow boxes though, he left two bigfoot tracks as he strode across one of my square foot garden boxes.
  Once he left I thought, hey why not make the most out of a bigfoot compressing my garden box, so I made up some Plaster of Paris and scooped it into his tracks. I should have  photo of the cast in a day or two.

I'm excited - Revelation published

It's been a long time coming, but I finally published my Young Adult novel, REVELATION. It's available on Amazon. Way excited about it.
Now it's time to get serious about the second book in the Almost Human series, RETALIATION.
In the meantime, I am building two Square Foot Gardening boxes in an area of my garden that nothing seems to be able to survive in. Since these boxes don't use the existing soil, I hope the plants will survive.
I spend an hour or two working in the yard/garden in the morning, then head to my corner in the secret underground writer's lair to write, or think about writing, or researching, or trying out new ideas, or listening to my characters tell me about their day.
