Paleo

by Yvonne Navarro

  Bob peered over his shoulder, then made a hmphing sound. “No idea. It’s old. Just shove it in a box with the rest of this garbage. We’ll haul it downstairs and pack it away with the mice and who knows what else lives down there in the dark. Let someone else find it fifty or sixty years from now.

  “When they do, they can figure it out.”

  About the Author

  Yvonne Navarro is a Chicago-area novelist who has written a bunch of stuff, including novels, movie and television novelizations, and short stories. The Y2K bug hiccupped and allowed her to have two other novels published in the Year 2000 besides this one (Dead-Times and That’s Not My Name), so Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Paleo is her eleventh published novel. She’s also published a bunch of illustrations, although most of the time she draws people, not dinosaurs. Her first published novel, AfterAge, was about the end of the world as orchestrated by vampires (surprise!) and was a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award. In her second novel, deadrush, she worked on zombies, and deadrush was also nominated for the Bram Stoker Award. Final Impact and its follow-up, Red Shadows, chronicle some really nifty people struggling to survive when the Earth is nearly destroyed by a celestial disaster. Yvonne wrote the novelizations of both Species and Species II, as well as Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Willow Files, Vol. I and Aliens: Music of the Spears. She also authored The First Name Reverse Dictionary, a reference book for writers.

  Currently she’s working on a supernatural thriller called Mirror Me, and still plans to someday write sequels to most of her previous solo novels. She also studies martial arts and loves Arizona, dogs, champagne, and dark chocolate.
