The Iberian Lynx in Warhorn - Sons of Iberia

Amongst the first thing I did when I had firmed up my conviction to begin this book and series was to research the fauna and flora of the Iberian peninsular.
Iberia has a massive variety due to the changes in terrain from mountains to coastal plains.  I have never been to either Spain or Portugal to enjoy the obvious beauty of the land - a situation I hope to change before too much longer.
I was trying to come up with an animal that would have made an impression on the largely agrarian people who would have lived off the land back in 219 BC.  Apart from wolves I did not think Europe let alone Iberia had any large carnivores.
Happily I couldn't have been more wrong!  There are still five large carnivores present in Europe:  The wolf, lynx, Iberian lynx, brown bear and wolverine.
Well the Iberian lynx leapt right out at me - sorry I had to put that in!!  This would be perfect for the tale as it is a charismatic feline and the people of Iberia would certainly have been familiar with it.  Further research quickly revealed that while the Iberian lynx still exists, it is critically endangered.  There are only about 300 of these cats left in the wilds of Iberia.  That's horrifying!
I have therefore resolved to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Warhorn - Sons of Iberia to Fauna & Flora International who are doing sterling work in protecting the Iberian lynx through a program whereby they are restoring the environment for the lynx.  This has the added benefit of assisting many other creatures as well.
So for every eBook copy of Warhorn purchased from Amazon and Smashwords 10 pence will go to FFI.
