My friend in Bermuda put this SNAIL GIRL photo on facebook and everyone is talking about this, “future sci fi fantasy duo”!!! I found the doll on one of my daily beach walks. She had been washed ashore and needed to go somewhere. In honor of my book SNAIL BOY, I had placed this cement  snail with a collar along the walkway to my front door. The doll looked like she would be the perfect jockey, so I put them together. It always amazes me when people do not notice her. It is sort of a test, when people come to my house, to see if they are observant enough to notice SNAIL GIRL.
