The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

She (it) has been very active this morning.  I just wish when they stood up they would move their head out of the way so I could see into the nest better.

I notice the parent pulling stuff out of the hole instead of adding to it today.

I was just reading that the female does the majority of the incubation, but the male may assist.

And that it can take as much as a day for the hatchling to break out of the egg, and the adult does not assist.

Did anyone else just see her get up?  There was no egg under her, but I could not make out anything else.

I didn't see it.  From the look of her, I'd say she's waiting for her mate to come back with lunch...she's looking around a bit and seems to be calling.

No, but her mouth seemed to be opening and closing and her throat moving.  I know other raptors I've watched will start calling for the mate when they expect them to arrive with food.

Yes.  It wasn't obvious if the baby ate anything though.  Even so, that fish was wriggling when he brought it in.  It disappeared quickly!
I wonder what they will do this first night?  She seemed to doze off a couple of times - she's probably pretty tired.

We need to think of a name!
If it storms tonight, we could call him/her Stormy! 
Other suggestions?  We could do a poll and vote!  Cheesy
