Google Image Search
Being a single father, I think about the father/son relationship a lot.Ā Mostly because Iām always hoping Iām doing right by my own son.Ā This gets tougher when I see fiction maintaining the āstoic fatherā ignoring the sonās issues until they explode or not having the father be in there at all.Ā It can get even worse with adventures because the father tends to die at someā¦

Cover Art by Jason Pedersen
Back to the temples inĀ Tribe of the Snow Tiger.Ā This is the 10th volume ofĀ Legends of Windemere and started feeling like the homestretch.Ā At least, as far as the writing side goes.Ā Probably felt more like Act 4 of the overall story.Ā So, what can I say about this one?

The Most Vicious Weasel: The Wolverine
Yes, the wolverine is part of the weasel family along with otters, badgers, ferrets, and a bunch of others.Ā You can kind of see it with the short, stocky body and the attitude of a honey badger.Ā At least if you see a picture since most people picture the comic book character first.Ā Many donāt even realize Wolverine is named after the wolverine.Ā Hugh Jackman apparently didnāt know until heā¦
