I am participating in a 99 cent book sale today only (Friday, August 9). A mix of genres, so hope you take a look and perhaps discover a great new read.
STREET DOG DREAMS is the book I have in this sale--a sweet romantic comedy dealing with the serious problem of dogs dumped on the streets or abandoned out in the wild. Can this serious topic be respectfully treated with humor? That was perhaps my biggest challenge when I wrote Street Dog Dreams.
I did not stand on the street in a dog suit, as one of the main characters in this story does. But I've worked at an animal shelter. Volunteered there as well. Did a brief stint as a doggie foster parent with not much success, because I ended up adopting most of the dogs who were supposed to only stay temporarily.
What is my dream for these dogs? The same as Chiara and Alek and the rest of the heroes of Street Dog Dreams: a world where dogs (and an occasional cat!) are treated like royalty. A bit of laughter along the way can give a positive boost to continue this many times challenging journey.
Is the dream worth the challenges? If you haven't read this book yet, I invite you to join Chiara, Alek, Aunt Maddie, Uncle Horace, the Royal Canines, and their street dog friends to see what they think in Street Dog Dreams!
