Hmm, I see a (forget-the-heartwarming) children’s book in this. (Because that expression says “WTF?? YOU CHOPPED DOWN MY F*CKING TREE!”) So on Christmas Eve, a MILLION OWLS mount a rescue mission from the North, pick up the tree, and take it (and their buddy) home. The End. https://twitter.com/techladyallison/status/1329133725779628033

...Okay, this is blowing up a little, and I have to think what to do about it. It would be fun to have this story done before Christmas, but I had other writing work scheduled (because, like anybody else, we've gotta eat...) Want to make my decision easier? (next tweet...)

If you want to help make this happen, wander over to our store at http://Ebooks.Direct  and either buy an ebook, or use this link to "buy a coffee" or so: http://bit.ly/BuyACuppa . (Or use the Ebooks Direct store's PayPal-me link, also listed on that page.) (next...)

...If we pull in enough $ over the next few days to equal my anticipated pre-holiday work total, I'll put that writing aside until the New Year and turn my attention to (drumroll...) OWL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS.

...Thanks, all! That link again: http://bit.ly/BuyACuppa 

OH AND ONE OTHER THING... We'll be donating 25% of the proceeds from the ebook to Ravensbeard Wildlife Sanctuary in Saugerties NY ( https://ravensbeard.org/ ), who're taking care of the owl.

BTW, folks: Ravensbeard Wildlife Center has a fundraiser going at the moment (and this post gives some details about how the owl came to them). Please help if you can! https://www.facebook.com/1404058576543469/posts/2833723070243672/ #OwlBeHomeForChristmas
