What about bats? They are so misunderstood. (Speaking from experience from my own book about bats).

Bats are on a short list of "I'd really like to learn more and write about these animals."

How about Seals?? With my last name, I could not suggest any other animal!

I have been following you since sometime in 2023.

I believe I started subscribing in 2024, but have been following you for awhile. A book about lions or leopards? Giraffes is a good idea too! BTW, my grands love your devotions book! Carol Baldwin

I think I started receiving your newsletter in 2024. What a great debate idea: dogs vs cats! How about a book on giraffes?

Giraffes are amazing!! I love seeing them compared to other animals for size and not just a tree.

I thought the blog post about writing with a slant brought on a fantastic discussion on NFFest’s FB page - really enjoyed all the perspectives on that. Loved reading about your summer adventures!

So many creatures options for your next title! I think an underground animal would be fascinating, or a turtle (sea or land). Even a creature that thrives near the volcanic vents deep in the ocean as they still seem so elusive.

Great newsletter! Sounds like a wonderful summer. Have you considered writing about bats? I like the prairie dog suggestion and the squirrel suggestion (hilarious title idea!).

Thank you for the newsy newsletter! How about something that lives underground for your next animal since you have land, sea, and sky animals in the series already? Maybe prairie dogs? Or perhaps an insect like ants? Or maybe you need a reptile next like a snake? So many great options!
