Goat on the Go: Scout's Muddy Day

This is 100% true. I know Scout. Scout is a real goat. He lives on the same farm my goats Brickey and Moppet are housed at. One of Brickey's oldest and best friends, my family and I have had our share of adventures with Scout. When Scout's mom, author Natalie Horseman recounts how Scout escapes from his pen one day for a glorious adventure exploring his home farm, I can attest with my own eyes seeing Scout escape his pen on a number of occasions!

It's hard to believe Scout was ever so little! A Nigerian Dwarf goat, he ironically dwarves the other adult goats at the farm, being almost double fellow ND Brickey's size! To this day, Scout still thinks of himself as a little goatie and like in this adventure, it gets him into mischief!

It was great getting to see many of Scout's friends in this book. Everyone who visits the farm knows Ms. Luna. She's a silkie black pup that makes sure that all the farm goats stay in line and in their pens. Although, in this book, in order for her face and body to stand out more, artist Cosette Alcade adds some gray and white to Luna's coat. It's amazing to see Luna in action and how just the sight of her will make other goats immediately run to enclose themselves in the nearest pen! In this book, there's also a highland cow, some piggies, a few guineas and lots of goats that despite name changes, I recognized immediately from my nearly 3 years of weekly (or more) check-ins with my herd.

I cannot wait to share this book with all the little ones in my life. Scout's adventure is heartwarming and fun. Plus, if those kiddos ever come to the farm with my wife and I for a visit, it will make that experience that much more fun getting to meet the real life Scout!

Goat on the Go: Scout's Muddy Day is currently available on Kindle and in paperback.

KFC Presents: The Colonel Corps

    The restaurant world is in peril! Colonel Harlan Sanders has forgotten his top secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices that make his famous fried chicken so famous. Without it, his Earth-3 counterpart, Colonel Sunders will be free to unleash his disgusting chicken recipe on the eaters of earth-1! With the help of speedster Jesse Quick acting as a conduit, the good colonel travels the vast multiverse amassing a league of colonels to restore the recipe to it's continuity and save eater's palette's worldwide!

    This is actually the sequel to a 2015 web comic called The Colonel of Two Worlds. How did I miss that one? Starring the Flash and Green Lantern, it was a KFC sponsored comic story that paid tribute to Flash #123 and introduced the comic book world to the multiverse. AND, it seems like the kind of outlandish stuff I love to read and collect!

  As a chef, I also love to collect those recipe books sponsored by famous brands and restaurants. They're pretty strange with things like SPAM baked spaghetti or Dole pineapple ring burgers. But I love their kitschy style and how bizarre they can be. This web comic is the DC comics version of those odd recipe collections. Just don't expect the Colonel to reveal to you his secret recipe.

    I'm not one for web comics, but this is the only way to read this dynamic story. Yeah, it's silly and pretty odd, but I loved it! There was a chicken version of Colonel Sanders for gosh sake! What the heck does his restaurant serve?!

    Take advantage of this strange read. The Colonel of Two Worlds is no longer available online and the only way to get a hold of the Colonel Corps is through the eComic site, Comixology. It's totally free and will on be accessible for a limited time. So check it out now while you can!
