This is the lamb. She was born today, April 20th, and the first name that popped out from my subconscious mind was 'Hitlerina', it being Adolf Hitler's birthday and all. (Bad subconscious! No cake for you!) Well, it's also Mother Angelica's birthday--- she's the cloistered nun who founded the EWTN television network. And yesterday was Divine Mercy Sunday, which makes one think of Saint Faustina. (or Faustyna, which I guess is the Polish spelling).
But I can't really decide whether it should be Angelica or Faustina or Faustyna or Hitlerina (No! No! Bad Name! Out of the Question!), and so I decided to leave it up to anyone who turns up here on the blog tour. What name do YOU think would be good for the lamb? Propose your favorite name in a comment, and whichever name gets the most votes and isn't a name already used in my herd or a really sucky horrible name, that's what she'll be called.
(The lamb in question is 3/4ths White Dorper, 1/4 Shetland. Her mom's name is Myeongwol after a famous Korean female poet and geisha, her dad is called 'Wild about Harry'.)
OK--- back to the blog tour.
*Featured book, Blaggard’s Moon - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0736925376 .
George Bryan Polivka’s Web site - http://www.nearingvast.com/
This book is the story of a pirate sentenced to die for the crime of mutiny. As he awaits his fate, he has time to ponder his life.... It's amazing the things that pop into a pirate's mind as he waits to have his bones devoured by mermonkeys.
This book is a prequel to the Trophy Chase trilogy by the same author, and so is a good point at which to begin the series.

Not a great fan of pirate stories, true, but a great fan of Blaggard's Moon. George Bryan Polivka wrote a remarkable book, I think.
