| Important
notice, Sept. 4, 2006. New wolf stories are now being posted to my blog. I have gone to this g format because it is easier
for folks to find things, and it is interactive. You can
post comments. Blogs seem to be the wave of the future. I
will watch the blog and may comment on some posts and
delete patently offensive ones, spam, etc.
You can also find things easier using the "search" function. This page and archives will be kept on line so people
can search old stories, mine information, and also so I can
put links to old stories from the blog. |
