Last week I had a concert with Ben Shive and Randall Goodgame in Eagle Point, Oregon. We drove through the rainy, green mountains without spotting a single monster. Truth be told, it worried me. Were the carnivores more cunning in this part of the country? Had they found a way to disguise themselves? Were they grinning toothy grins from under interstate bridges, waiting for some poor traveler’s car to break down? Randall and Ben chatted away while we listened to music. But I was fraught with foreboding, and I dared not speak of it, lest the toothy beasts hear and attack!
When I reached the church, however, all became clear. Brad Richardson and his family, you see, have read The Wingfeather Saga, and thus knew exactly how to protect themselves against prowling predators and crunching critters. I walked into the dressing room and found this most effective means of toothy cow repellent.
Thank you, Richardsons, for keeping us safe.

I need a recipe! I was riding to a conference in Maryland, and I saw a toothy cow on the side of the road!
Hi Andrew,
Over on my website, on my review of North or Be Eaten, I have gotten a question: when will the audio come out for North or Be Eaten?
Please let me know!

That’s hilarious! I hope you took it with you for the car ride home?
Oh. My.
i love the wingfeather saga! i can’t wait for the third book. i’ve read all of them.
OK, I know you’ve written about this somewhere else…and I also know that you started the new book in March, but I just wanted to say…and completely off topic here, not that I don’t have a passion for snot wax – please write the third book. Just as an incentive, someone LENT me the first two books and I promise to BUY them, but please write the third book. My secretary keeps re-reading the second book and crying. Please finish the third book so she can move on and the Gospel can advance. Maybe that is an exaggeration… Still, please…
Wow… Any recipes? Who knows what dangerous beasts may be lurking in the suburbs of KC?
Wow… interesting. I’ve never seen snot wax before. Where did they find it and can I have some too?
Andrew,
Thanks for the show in Oregon last week. I enjoyed sharing in your music and chatting with you afterward. Just wanted to tell you that I found “Devil in the White City” at a garage sale this morning so I picked it up for a quarter. After you recommended it I figured maybe I would check it out. I’ve only read the introduction so far but I will let you know what I think.
Cheers!
