The Flock (30 page)
The Flock
The Clan
(coming in 2011)
Published by Tom Doherty Associates
Professor Jon A. Baskin of Texas A&M University for information regarding the possible existence of
Titanis walleri
in more recent years of the Pleistocene.
I would also like to point out that when I wrote this novel, the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker was still listed as extinct and its survival was merely wishful thinking on the parts of wildlife enthusiasts.
James Robert Smith lives with his wife, son, and two requisite cats near Charlotte, North Carolina. When he is not working for the United States Postal Service he can be found writing new stories or novels, or backpacking in various wilderness areas in the southern Appalachian high country.
He has made more than fifty short-story sales, and has had his comic scripts published by Marvel Comics, Kitchen Sink, Spyderbabies Grafix, and others. He was the coeditor of the Arkham House anthology
Evermore. The Flock
is his first novel.
