Animal is a masterstroke of hard science fiction that will delight fans of zoology and ecology. Terry Madden’s compelling short story is so frighteningly real that it will stay with you long after you have finished reading. This is the story of one woman’s ambition to force the world to look into the eyes of a living animal again.
Terry has won the Writers of the Future Award as well as the Hollywood Film Festival Screenwriting Award. She has written historical and mainstream fiction, but her first love is speculative fiction. With Middle Earth and Earthsea as early inspirations, the Celtic shadow world known as the Five Quarters takes root in her series "Three Wells of the Sea." Terry has worked in molecular biology and genetic research labs and currently teaches high school chemistry and astronomy. She enjoys sharing the night sky with young people and is as fascinated by ancient history and mythology as she is by terraforming and space exploration.
