So I *thought* I was writing fiction…

Unicorn found in Italy

In Italy, no less!

And a big thank you to all the people who’ve sent me this news story. I am agog, truly. I have decided to take the entire episode as a good omen about Rampant. there are already uicorns in Italy. Woo hoo!

It’s especially fortuitous because the unicorns in Rampant are not the horse-like unicorns most people think of. There are unicorns in several ecological niches, with body types and behavior to match. That can be, at times, a bit difficult to explain to people whose mental image of a unicorn was formed by 1980s Trapper Keepers and My Little Pony. “It’s a bit more like a goat, or a llama” doesn’t fly so well, and you should see the expression on their face when I say, “Imagine a wooly mammoth if it were a unicorn.”

Well, except for people who play WOW:

For some reason, they picture things like that, no problem. 😉

But now, I have a world-famous image to share with folks who want to know how in the world a unicorn could look like a deer. Thank you, little fawn!

And, seriously, good people of Florence: Watch out for that one. They’re cute all right, but you have no idea what they’re capable of!
