Sam sure hit the nail on the head. Snakes blog was popular in some circles – people who are interested paranormal things and cryptids – but most readers think he’s writing some sort of serial urban fantasy fiction. Little do they know everything he writes about is true!

He lucks into a lot of things. Situations like this. And he kind of loves that. He’s very interested in the supernatural creatures of the world. Not just to check off all the sorts of non-humans he’s met, but he’s interested in them as people. How their lives are perhaps complicated by living among humans. That sort of thing.

“I do, yeah!” He even brightened a little. “I’ve been lucky to meet a lot of, um… non-humans?” No one’s ever told him if there was some proper term they liked to use. Creatures seemed a little impersonal.
