Can you share Fun facts about you?

Hi,Tomojay.  Fun facts, hmm, that’s a tough one.  But  here goes: (1) I once licked a giant slug.  It was in Canada, researching for the Wolf Brother books, and licking that type of slug is a traditional cure for tooth-ache; it worked, my mouth went numb.  And the slug survived.  (2) I can’t whistle. Never learnt how.  (3) My favourite Muppet is Sam the American Eagle.  I just love his earnest expression!  (4) I once helped Torak the wolf cub to burp.   He was only a few weeks old and I’d just bottle-fed him, so I picked him up by placing my palm under his tummy – and he burped!  It was incredibly cute.  Well that’s all I can think of right now.  Thanks for getting in touch.  With best wishes, Michelle
