FYI - the Oct. 14th (?) PEOPLE magazine (with the "CSI" cast on the cover), had a two page article on author Richard Bachman (Jonathan Livingston Seagull author), and brief mention of his new FERRET CHRONICLES series of books. I believe this article starts on pg. 149. There's a great photo of Bachman with about 4 of his 9 ferrets crawling all over him. He discovered ferrets while visiting friends who had some as pets, and was hooked. He speaks about his perception of ferrets being intelligent, fun-loving creatures. [Posted in FML issue 3940]
