Meet Bertrand

 
In Staked!, I introduce you to a new character: Bertrand, a gray attic mouse. And what does a mouse have to do with a vampire story?
Ah, well, hmmm....
 
Anyway, Sarah Stegall, web adminstrator emeritus for BryonySeries, suggested a series for children based on Bertrand and his adventures. All the stories will begin with Bryony telling Anna a story about Bertrand, so although Bertrand is not very Victorian in Staked!, he will be in his stories.
 
And yes, there's a very good plot reason for all of the above.
 
So Sarah shared the idea with a friend that crochets animal ornaments. The friend was very happy to make two Bertrands, one for me and one for Sarah.
 
Our Bertrands should arrive next week. Once they do, Sarah and I will begin photographing Bertrand in a variety of scenes and circumstances, ala Dare Wright. Anyone remember her Lonely Doll series from ages ago?
 
My grandson Lucas has even suggested a few story ideas. We can't wait to begin.
