Author Description

Have you ever heard of a snake without a hiss? Well, neither had Albert, the youngest member of the snake family who finds himself in exactly that situation. Some of his other A[a¬AsnakyA[a¬A skills leave something to be desired as well, assuring that he is scarcely noticed. Being the smallest member of the family doesnA[a¬a[t help either. He is, however, the best hunter of the clan, able to find victims on any day, in any weather. But even that isnA[a¬a[t always a blessing for Albert when he canA[a¬a[t scare who he finds and ends up on the wrong side of the encounter. ThatA[a¬a[s when his siblings take over, having all the scary fun, then teasing their A[a¬AlittleA[a¬A brother. But Albert can take just so much. Will he finally win his place in the family? Or will he be an outcast, destined to live in his siblingsA[a¬a[ long, snaky shadows?
