Another richly detailed window on a moment in time. I so enjoy the fullness of your characters, whether canon or OC, and your subtleness of tale-telling.

I had to look up Murres — I didn't know it's another name for Guillemots, but then I also was fascinated to read a little more about them and their eggs, so thanks for opening another window for me!

(This also reminds me that Si la mar fuera de leche has been patiently waiting on my Kobo for me. I go through phases of places/eras/characters I feel like reading.)

Thank you, Anérea; I always love hearing what you draw out of stories. I'm doubly glad that this led to some quality time with murres/guillemots! They're so dapper, aren't they? And Hakai Magazine is a great publication; their articles are always worth the time, imo.
