Just got my hands on the latest oevre by the great @KeithOBrien. Keith can tell a story like no one else. In my opinion, he's one of our nation's greatest writers. I can't wait to read "Heartland," which is now available for pre-order anywhere you buy books, including here: tinyurl.com/y9thcb3w

The number of North Atlantic right whale calves has just increased to 18, so far this birthing season. These are promising numbers, though the species needs far more calves to keep up with its mortality rate.
