And Another New Book Is Wrapped! (almost)

I started two books based on my dog about a decade ago when he was a puppy, and my wife convinced me I needed to put them into print. So, here they are, finished. The title says almost, because they are at the printer's, and I've yet to hold my first-run author's copies. 

I took both books (Paws in the Sand and Pineapple Treats) and combined them into one volume titled Life Lessons I Learned from My Dog.

Here's the cover and the publisher's blurb on their website.

Lil’ Dude has traveled from Maine to Galveston, hiked mountains in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts, and played on the sand of the Outer Banks off the North Carolina coast. He’s romped in Colorado snow and moved across the country to a home as new to him as it was to us.

This is Lil’ Dude’s story, of the lessons we’ve learned from him as he’s grown from a two-pound puppy into a ball of fur that will challenge all comers if he thinks his territory is being invaded.

Life Lessons I Learned from My Dog includes two popular books in the Lil’ Dude series: Paws in the Sand (Book One) and Pineapple Treats (Book Two).
