| Post subject: | OPERATION RHINOCEROS HORNBILL |
Beginning the research and background work for a new novella that will incorporate some of my Borneo experiences. It will have a *high concept* (I think that's what the movie folk call it)--something I think will have legs. With the above title, it would fit nicely into a novella collection with RUSTING CHICKENS and THE BLUE HERON. How about calling it: LETHAL BIRDS? |

Nanci: We saw these magnificent birds twice in Borneo high in the jungle canopy. They are as large as a swan, and featured on the national stamp. But--there is always a but nowadays, right-- there is some small-time poaching because the horn is indeed a kind of ivory and good for carving. The good news is they never come near the ground and are very difficult to hit. Gene |

Nanci: I always write from my journal, never look at pics. But Kay takes a lot. I'll check and see if she took any of hornbills. Gene |

Only a few days away from my last of the 1st readers checking in with a reaction. Then off to an interested publisher. But this one may have legs depending on the response to the novella. We'll see. More later. Gene |

Thunderstorm Books will be bringing out OPERATION RHINOCEROS HORNBILL in two editions. 100 copies of a signed/limited hardback at $40 and 15 deluxe copies at $110. The release date has not been determined yet. If you have any interest in Borneo or care about the further exploits of geriatric-but-not-acting-it Joey Hotsko and Ryan O'Toole (THE BLUE HERON), this is the book for you. The story is built around what I think Hollywood calls a "high concept," which may result in more books, etc. We'll see. |
