Below is a segment of Book 2 describing Dorf's dilemma.
DRAFT FROM BOOK 2 “CREATION”
Dorf stretched his shoulders to loosen the newly sprayed cocoon of yellow fibers as the door to the wraptrap opened.
“Yee-e-ow-hiss!” Something pierced his leg. He kicked hard to free himself from the attacker and lost his balance, falling shoulder-first against shelves of carefully placed vials of cultures and other paraphernalia. He grabbed the shelf’s upright brace to keep from falling but his thrust dislodged it. Cultures, beakers, crucibles, and spot plates tumbled out hitting Dorf and crashing on the floor. His feet slid out from under him. He landed hard, sliding over liquid, blood, glass shards and feces. “Feces?” he blurted as he saw it amidst the mixture of goo.
The security alarm sounded. Ignoring its blare, Dorf slowly lifted onto an elbow, avoiding glass and unknown substances. He studied his injury. Through the fibrous wrap covering his calf was a double puncture wound oozing blood, around which an egg-white-like mucous was forming. He watched the mucous absorb blood turning into a bright orange lump. The viscous blob slid over the muscle of his calf onto the floor and began pulsating.
Creepy, Dorf thought. He scanned the scene. How would he analyze it? Thousands of cells, bacterial, and viral cultures mixed randomly devoid of identification splattered everywhere. Determining which ones contributed to the pulsating mass would take months and months of analysis.
He eased himself from the slimy soup, avoiding contact with the glob that seemed to have a life of its own.
Dorf’s head pounded from the screaming siren. How’d that cat get in here? He worried as he tapped his DB to deactivate the alarm and send a message to all employees. BIOLOGICAL HAZARD - S11 CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Happy Chinese New Year from the folks at IZ~ The Izzy Story! :: added February 8, 2016
The Chinese New Year is based on a Lunar calendar--that means every year, around the new moon closest to the beginning of spring, Chinese people ring in the beginning of a new annual cycle. 2016 is the Year of the Monkey in the Chinese zodiac. People born in the Year of the Monkey are characterized as intelligent, witty, curious and playful. Other years of the monkey are 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992 and 2004. Hmmm...think Izzy could have been born in the Year of the Monkey?

BUSTER THE RABBITILE :: added January 27, 2016
The authors have revised Gore Andriol's stuffed toy's identity to that of a rabbitile. Please note in Gore's video Sandy and Duayne describe his stuffed animal as a Teddy Bear. That information is from a draft that has been revised. They've decided Gore's toy should represent an animal indigenous to Planet Authair, thus, Buster, the rabbitile. They are currently working on a description of the rabbitile soon to be published as an update. Thank you for your patience. Tap here for more about Gore and to watch the video .
FROM BLOB TO CREATURE :: added January 12, 2016
Dorf rubbed his chin. “Mmmm. Phed, run H4’s observation video. Let’s find out how the shell formed.” Phed ran the video from the beginning to frames showing the globular mass forming an outer casing. It bobbed then turned; each turn creating more casing until a leathery shell remained un-moving on the artificial turf.
“Nothing unexpected there. Not worth hanging around now. If it shows signs of hatching contact me. Path me if heart rate and respiration increase.” Dorf left Phed analyzing statistics and walked out of the OP toward the wraptrap hoping the absence of movement and growth was a sign of the embryo's approaching demise. He didn’t want another crisis. He'd a vaccine to develop.
Dorf approached the cleared ‘area of destruction’ as Phed’s path entered his brain. “Life signs active, Chief. You’ll want to see this.” He stopped in mid-stride, turned and ran to the OP.
Dorf saw the graphs above H4’s monitor dancing with data feed as he skidded to a halt in time to see a cat-like nose ooze from the broken shell’s inner membrane. Phed had directed the new data into an ID app for determining species and was focused on the rapidly changing results as more of the creature emerged from the shell.
Its head now fully visible revealed cat-like ears. Between those was a mass of hair, matted like a wet mane, some clumps plastered over closed eyelids.
Dorf’s oxytocin kicked in. “Hey little fella,” he said watching its eyes open then blink a couple times freeing the matted fur. It cocked its head rolling big blues toward the friendly greeting.
Dr. Dorf Tzeus didn’t understand why his brain’s neurons were creating this one-way conversation, but it felt right. “Come on Buddy you can do it.” He enthused. “You can squeeze all the way out.”
Phed joined in. “You’ve almost got it, don’t give up.” The little head turned toward the intern; its blue eyes peering into the gray of Phed’s, as it tugged its body forward. One leathery leg emerged. “That’s it, keep it up Champ.” Phed encouraged. The fullness of its body squeezed out and squirmed free of the broken shell revealing a long tail. Fur ridged its back from wispy strands over its eyes to a thickness that crowned its head and ridged its back to the tip of its tail.
“Yeah! Way to Go buddy!” came overlapping cheers. In response, the tiny creature lifted on its hind legs using its tail to balance and looked quizzically from Dorf to Phed and back again.
Phed scratched his head and looked at Dorf, "Chief, if he's going to stay alive I've got to find out what to feed him."

Open University Week One :: added April 29, 2015
Only one day in this 8 week course on character writing, and I've met fellow classmates from the US, Brazil, Scotland, Wales, China, and Portugal. We'll be hearing from notable authors such as Maya Angelou, Jane Elmore, Jude Piesse and more. I recommend anyone checking out this fabulous educational opportunity. There are courses of all disciplines available at the Open University. Enrollment is free. For a fee, once you have completed a course you can get a certificate of participation. No college credits are given either. There are no graded tests. Just a couple quizzes. Your assignments are interesting. What is the real excitement for me is the chance to hear from successful authors about their work. Some of this is done by video and some is the author's written comments. This Open University experience allows for students to talk to one another by posting under a student's profile. Eventually we will be critiquing each other's work.

CHARACTER LINKS FIXED :: added April 6, 2015
OFFER FOR THE DETECTIVES AMONG YOU
If you find any character links that are not working send us a message about what doesn’t work and we’ll give you a free book. You choose, audio, paperback or Kindle. We’ll need your contact info to send it to you.
Here are four that we've confirmed do work:
Cimi doesn't really care if you check her out. She’s too involved in calculating their way back home.
Izzy wants you to know he’s learning all he can.
Ursula counts every click, she’s not good at being second best.
Aristotle will be most happy to meet you, but only if it’s in the afternoon.
FIXING THE PROBLEM :: added April 2, 2015
We are working to repair the problem with our links on our Character pages. We wanted to blame it on the Aurora Tornadoes, but that should only effect the Authairians, and the problem is with all of our characters. It must be an author's problem. It happened when we had our website updated last week. Soon we will have the links working. Thanks for being patient. Ddwlem

Why Unorthodox Geneticists May Want Thorf Serendopolis' Blood :: added February 28, 2015
Today we read an article, Age Disrupters, in February/March 2015 TIME magazine written by Alice Park. It relates to our theory about Thorf Serendopolis' unusual blood type as described in Chapter 4 THE BLOOD. On page 76 Alice Park writes about a blood protein GD11. Fascinating how science today is catching up with the geneticists who wanted more and more of Thorf's blood in 2000 CE.

Thanks to Peter Vang Petersen, Curator of Prehistory: National Museum of Denmark, we're now further along on preparing the life of a new character. Peter's informative tour yesterday gave us insite into the art and spirituality of the ancient Danish people. Imagine how a male character's skill in crafting the Sun Chariot could help our Authairians while on their Earthly mission, or how a female's artistry could liven up an episode or two. We have a wealth of choices now. To see Peter in person, check our Facebook page www.facebook.com/IZTheIzzyStory.

Kafieris Apartments on the Cliff :: added February 24, 2012
It's in just the right place with just the right atmosphere to provide just the right lodging for our opening character, Thorf Serendopolis. He's a young Ph.D. student who is in Santorini, Greece for the first time as an archaeology researcher. His mentor, Aristotle Maritimis has found a room for him at Kafieris Apartments on the Cliff. As you read Chapter 1 Part 2 you will find that Thorf has little time to enjoy the beautiful view from the balcony.
Annex Restaurant of Princeton, NJ :: added February 23, 2012
Sometimes, there is a business that no longer exists, but has made an impact on many people throughout the years. One such place is the Annex Restaurant of Princeton, NJ as mentioned in Chapter 1 Part 2 paragraph 7 of IZ~. The building is still there, you must descend to enter the new restaurant, as we used to do to enter the Annex, and one of the current owners is a relative of the Annex family. We found, in the place that once was the Annex, a restaurant and pub that still retains that local, comfortable feeling. We, ddwlem, do not know how many locals still visit or how many of the profs find themselves relaxing during a meal, but what a memory we have of such times. That is why Thorf and his fellow archaeology majors found Thor Heyerdahl at the Annex. Check out that part of the story and see if you get 'the same feeling.' If not let us know!
