Hello Donna

Donna M. Jackson wrote the story in this month’s Muse about Paco the Taco — the baby horse (a foal, that is) born with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, aka “dummy foal syndrome.” She said she’d pop onto the blog now and then for a visit. Any questions for Donna? This is the place.

Donna’s an accomplished nonfiction writer, publishing books including “ER Vets: Life in an Animal Emergency Room,” “Hero Dogs,” “The Bug Scientists,” and “In Your Face: The Facts about Your Features.” Maybe she can answer Sphinx’s Queenie J.’s question about philtrums?

Attention, Jane Austen Fans!

Here’s a book you might like.

Robert reports:

My pal Polly Shulman (New York literary whiz, book reviewer, and freelance science writer/editor extraordinaire) has just turned her jaw-dropping talents to something new: YA fiction. Her book Enthusiasm, which comes out on February 16, looks like just the sort of thing some MuseBloggers should ♥ to the nth power.

I’ll try to get Polly on the blog to talk about books, the writer’s life, and those wild parties at Lemony Snicket’s house. Meanwhile, you can find out more about Enthusiasm from her publisher, Penguin Books.

Added February 8: NEW! Read Polly’s interview in Newsday.
