"Shhhhh...," whispered Rowena. "She lives here, and you are only a guest." (Deer Ones, 87; 2009)
Surviving the Unexpected
The notes in this section on survival doubles as a resource for others and a site in progress for me. There is more to know than I have years left for learning, but I'm fascinated with the subject of survival. Some of the information you'll find here comes from my own experience, and the rest comes from the work of others. These pages are constantly being updated.
