A Dinosaur Tail

December 23rd - this Friday - Stone Cold Blooded will appear on author Joan Reeves' website SlingWords, in her Last Minute Gifts feature. Looking for a Hanukkah or Christmas gift, or need something to read while on holiday break? Check out Last Minute Gifts!

Find the event here.

Stone Cold Blooded is in slot #16, nestled amongst some steamy romances. While there is a touch of romance in book three of my Rock Shop Mystery series, it is definitely light in that department, and heavy on mystery. I am thrilled to be included in New York Times bestseller author Joan Reeves' popular blog.

Modern day dinosaurs, also known as Canada Geese

Now to a tale about a dinosaur tail.

​My coworker Dave, scientist and farmer, told me about this amazing dinosaur find. On the National Geographic website, the discovery is described:
​
"The tail of a 99-million-year-old dinosaur, including bones, soft tissue, and even feathers, has been found preserved in amber, according to a report published today in the journal Current Biology."

​You have to see the amazing photos!

Of course, our discussion had to include specualtion about whether scientists would be able to extract DNA from the tail, enabling the cloning of a dinosaur Jurassic Park-style. Time will tell!

Speaking of time, I can't believe how fast this year has flown by. 2016 brought heartache, with the passing of my husband's sweet mother. There were good times, too. We're hopeful 2017 will be more settled. Calm. Peaceful.

​Thinking about New Year's resolutions? So am I. I'll talk about that next week.
