I actually stated a few drafts, but, maybe this sounds a little farfetched, but don't think I was mature enough at the time to write her as an elderly person. The first story, was written about fifteen years ago, so, well, I think I'm getting to the age I can authentically understand what an older Maggie would experience, especially living in a very isolated environment, Central Mine became a ghost town in the early 1900's. The short answer to you questions is: Yes, I'm going to write further with this character, begin where Alpha Wolves left off and conclude her life. In reality, the historical Maggie Harrington froze to death, her body was found in a clump of birch trees.<br /><br />Debbie Curtohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929528013231373283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-374890314421273101.post-82842905016788351172013-07-18T06:28:12.393-07:002013-07-18T06:28:12.393-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Debbie Curtohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929528013231373283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-374890314421273101.post-91116559972242193542013-07-18T05:49:22.456-07:002013-07-18T05:49:22.456-07:00Carrie L Marquardt-Roach

When I lived in Michigan...This is David's reply<br />When I lived in Michigan I supported the Humane Society, but I did not belong to any environmental group with specific aims at protecting wolves. At that time the wolf was on the endangered list and protected. They have since rebounded in numbers and have been removed from the endangered species list. There is only one species of wolf in Michigan, the Gray Wolf, which is the largest wolf on earth. An arctic wolf is the same species, but are white, an evolutionary adaptation that makes them a more viable predator. I know that breeders will deny it, but the malamute is a wolf-dog, huskies bred with arctic wolves by the Innuit Indians looking to breed a larger sled dog. They the larger dog, malamutes are huge, but lazier than a husky. They never became the supreme sled dog they were looking for. The pair had were hybrids, a husky mix with an arctic wolf. There was a demand for wolf dogs at one time and this was a common breeding habit.

Yes, t...This is David's reply to this question!<br />Yes, to future novels. I'm working on a story now about a retired soldier/cop who's wife has died and he's trying to recover his zest for life. I'm still working on the first draft. No, I haven't always wanted to be a writer. My first paying job was as an accordion player at fourteen. I started writing seriously in the late 80's, long after having given up the accordion.<br />Debbie Curtohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929528013231373283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-374890314421273101.post-67604017311833120802013-07-17T07:14:18.770-07:002013-07-17T07:14:18.770-07:00checking google...checking google...tarajohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639912720904009008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-374890314421273101.post-39706797163255223402013-07-17T07:12:18.536-07:002013-07-17T07:12:18.536-07:00 Ron Howard Jr has this to say
