E-book is out on Kindle (no, no other e-book format yet).
Paperback in a few days all over.
I almost maxed my software a few times due to all the art details (fish scales take lots of CPU work in vector art!), but did what I could in loading it. 28 Pages total.
Included hippos, elephants (my youngest nieces call them 'elpitants'), crocodiles, giraffes, and of course dozens of real tropical fish. A fish geek (like myself) will notice many parallels between the fish in the Congo and Nile, and those in the Amazon River in South America. The Characin and Cichlid families are key, as are minnows (barbs) and puffers.
For fun here is comparison:
Africa Fish/South America Fish:
Tigerfish/Dorado (both Characins)
Mbu Puffer in the Congo and Fahaka Puffer in the Nile/Amazon River Puffer--
Tilapia/ Festivus (and many other Cichlids) --
Brownspot Largemouth Cichlid/Peacock Bass.
For all those who saw me at SciFest Saturday 24 Feb at the STL Science Center, sorry if you caught the cold I had. The Mock up Space Farm was a definite hit (with real bioreactors and a teeny hydroponic bed with lettuce sprouts). Look for the same rig at Earth Day in Forest Park. The Space Books are of course on Amazon too. Next one will be You Will Fly Spaceships...
Now to focus on that next SciFi Book (in edit...hopefully before EOCY!)!
Clear skies and calm waters,
Bryce
