Why 'Magic Tails', not 'Magic Tales'?

A few reasons:

First, the stories ('Tails') are mainly about the wisdom we humans can gain from listening to our animal friends. Most of the characters are animals, and most animals have tails. Next, I enjoy the play on words - 'Tails' vs 'Tales'. Finally, one of Blanco's biggest lessons to Lars (and you), is that some of the things you've learned (especially concerning history) aren't always true.

Who's to say that 'Tail' shouldn't mean the same thing as 'Tale'?

The stories Blanco tells Lars about the creation of life on Earth are quite different than those we're traditionally told. Much like a wise jedi master named Yoda told his eager student Luke, "You must un-learn what you have learned..."

Are Soy's eyes really different colors?

Yes. Soy is a real cat that lived with me for awhile, then left when she felt she had to. Her right eye is yellow - left is blue.

Where is Soy now?

I don't know. I looked a long time. I haven't heard from anyone who has seen her. I have lots of ideas of where she may be... She visits me in dreams often.

Why are Raven's legs and beak yellow, not black?

There is a reason Raven's beak and legs turn black in a later 'Tail'... Check out Blanco's Dragon Tails #1 for a clue...

Who is Blanco Tailspinner?

Blanco is many things with many names. He is one of the oldest beings in the universe and has chosen to manifest now as what most people think is a normal house cat. He is white dragon, part angel - and has a Tail (or two... or three... or...) to tell.

Is Blanco an evil dragon?

He's not evil at all. Blanco is one of Earth's best friends and Her defender as well - he is speaking for Her. She wants these Tails to be told. Blanco's here to do that!

What is Mary Sojourner's role in 'Magic Tails'?

Mary helped me at a very early stage of 'Magic Tails' - from 1998 - 2000. I found my 'voice' as a writer with her help. She guided the 'Tails' into the realm of environmental education. Her assistance has been invaluable!
