Of all the things I expect to find at an ice cream and mini golf place, a black bear is not on the list.
There was a real Pavlovian thing going on with it, because the moment we walked over to the food vending machine, he started smacking his feeding [...]

Little Bird will be writing OB’S CLUES, available from Leisure in February 2010.

I’ve already been asked if there’s some mysterious agenda bringing the Four Horsemen together for the second time in a month. This is [...]
