"Each time the horns came near her, Ratha jumped sideways, forcing the stag to turn in a tight circle, unable to build up any speed or momentum. After several such circles, the beast's knees were trembling and Ratha smelled the sweat that was darkening the coarse, gray-tipped coat." This Miocene mixup is an illustration from Clare Bell's enthralling fantasy "Ratha's Creature." The intelligent nimravids (cousins of the cats) manage herds of beasts in the changing environment of prehistoric California. The "threehorn" is a synthetoceras buck. Bell's page can found at: [link]

Heeheehee, they are awesome books! Like the best literature, I never outgrew them. There's a neat group #clan-ground where a lot of great fan art lives. And Clare Bell is a deviant: ~rathacat

It's sooo cool to meet other people who have read the series (thank you, internets!). :dance:

California? So that's where they are! Huh...

I love how dynamic the picture is. I've seen the test pages too and I'm excited to see how the graphic novel turns out!

Hmmm... so I happened to be living in California when I was introduced to the books; would I have imagined them taking place anywhere I found myself when I first read them? I confess, it's easier for me to imagine them amidst scrub oak, pines, and cottonwoods now that I live in Colorado. And I love the cedar and doug fir forests that Tod Wills will show, as he lives in my beloved Pacific Northwest.

Thank you very much for all your help, support, art, and enthusiasm!
