Title: Diary of an Airedale
Series Airedale Adventures Volume I Genre: Pet fiction - dogs Length: 145 pages Ebook 265 pages paperback Date published: 2/21/14 ISBN: eBook 978-1310518805 Paperback 978-1508422280 Available from: iBooks, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, Kobo and most other eBook retailers The story: Do you own a dog? Well I’m on my third Airedale Terrier and believe me, there is never a dull moment. I am the author of two previous novels, both Florida adventure books, Yokche and Kill Devil, and while working on my third, I got nowhere fast due to the constant demands for attention from my new Airedale puppy. His antics kept me so distracted that I eventually gave up the effort and instead of a new adventure novel I found myself writing the story of a puppy’s first year from the puppy’s point of view. It is my hope that this book will appeal to both young and old and, of course, all dog lovers. If you have never owned a dog and are considering one as an addition to your family, Diary of an Airedale will provide some valuable advice as well as a few interesting dog facts and lots of chuckles. As dog folk know, their canine friends are really people in fur coats. They think, feel, talk, work and play. In short, they are a lot like us. Writing this book was a lot of fun for me. I hope it will be for you too. |
Title: Diary of an Airedale
Series Airedale Adventures Volume II Genre: Pet fiction - dogs Length: 142 pages Ebook 240 pages paperback Date published: 4/26/16 ISBN: eBook 1530783356 Paperback 978-1530783359 Available from: iBooks, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, Kobo and most other eBook retailers The story: Does your dog have a belly button? Yes Alf's back. In his second adventure Alf is a little older but not much wiser. He answers this question and many more while he dishes out the secrets of dogdom and regales us with his latest adventures. This year, Alf struggles with health problems, becomes a well-traveled and better educated pooch and still finds time to get up to all kinds of mischief. I hope his antics make you laugh, make you cry, and provide a bit of insight you can apply to gain a better relationship with your bff (best furry friend). I had intended to finish my third Chase Larsen novel before continuing Alf's diaries, but Alf just wouldn't get out of my head, so here he is again, ready and able to brighten your day. Perhaps now I can get back to more serious work for a while. Down boy! |
