Chapter 10 of Apostolic Way, Lionsgate, just went up.  It is HUGE, but as the first part of it is a re-tread of Under Cover, I did not split it. 

Links to information on owl hearing are here, here, and a cool video here:

The discussion of convergent evolution here and here.

I did a lot of google fu regarding what Indians of the state of Gujarat eat for breakfast and have links to many, many recipes for handvo and theplas as well as soap rationing, maps in the UK in 1942, what to do with your garden in October in the UK, and the growing of runner beans on wigwams. There are some things I couldn't nail down and so just inserted them, like the assumption that Russell House is of fairly recent construction and so has advanced, indoor plumbing, gas rationing for zoo personnel, and other things.

Gerald Durrell's biography is here, among other places.

Again a huge thanks to Clio and Miniver who both helped enormously in the development of Jill -- Clio with research regarding her background in Jamaica and Miniver who over a year ago mentioned the possibility of Jill as Afro-Caribbean.

Even when I posted that comment about Jill, I realized, oh, I'm not real clear about this, am I? I had meant that I have seen very little written in fan fic with Jill as a point of view character, or in fact, in stories much at all. She's pretty much in the same category with Frank and Helen and Digory but we have canon backstory on all of them. We have no canon backstory on Jill at all. She's very much an unknown. One of the reasons for my dithering had been what to do with Jill and I credit anastigmatfic with giving me a path forward in our AU Everybody Lives, Nobody Dies comment fics.
