Happy Tuesday! I don't usually post on Tuesday, but today I'm happy to do so for your friend and mine, the water vole.
A special edition of Heather
McCorkle’s The Secret Of Spruce Knoll is releasing from Compass Press this
month and she’s doing a special tour to go along with it. The special part, a
percentage of the proceeds from every special edition sold (in every format)
between its release date and 12-12-2012, will go toward Heather’s favorite
charity that protects endangered species. Her goal is to make at least $10,000
for the charity.
Of course there are prizes
during the tour which goes from December 1st through the 17th.
Prizes include a symbolic endangered species adoption of the winner’s choice (a
$50 donation by Heather to the charity for the endangered species of the
winner’s choice, and cute stuffed animal for the winner!), signed copies of her
novels and great swag. For full details, and to enter, go here. http://heathermccorkle.blogspot.com
For the tour Heather has asked
each blog host to pick their favorite endangered species and she will tell us a
fun or interesting fact about that animal.
Heather: As you know, but many of my yank friends
may not, the European water vole is protected by the United Kingdom. These
adorable creatures are extremely short-lived. Whether in captivity or the wild,
they tend to die after only two years. Now that's a lifespan that requires a
bucket-list early on!

I have never heard of a water vole, so sad they have a life span of two years :( is it because of environmental changes?
