Proof: The truth isn't stranger than my fiction.



I’ve adopted this as my tagline for the next few days, or until I find a newer, and better one. Which could take months/years/never happen.

I’m currently embroiled in writing novel number three and needed a scene where an elderly farmer is eaten by his farm animals.

Frankly, the idea sounded ridiculous. Farm animals don’t eat humans do they? I risked losing my audience right at the start, which is where I needed this scene to go. No one would buy/believe such foolery.

But having criticized them earlier in the week for blatantly promotingJK Rowling’s new book on their news bulletin, I now find myself having to thank the BBC for drawing my attention to this story, straight out of Oregon, USA.
