Killer brings my hero and heroine together for a wonderful love story. Of course I love ALL dogs and, like my heroine, I rescue strays when I can. This big brown doggie in the picture above is just too cute and kissable. Best of luck, Elizabeth Boyce! J.

Animals allow lots of bouncing of ideas, expressions of emotions and demonstration of a characters personality within the interaction.

Debi's a veterinary technician, so she has a special understanding of animals, and it shows with Taser. In fact, all of the animals that make an appearance in the book are outstanding. :)Juli Page Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01361796103582463439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665714985599367255.post-83508945570375755182014-10-15T12:18:09.335-04:002014-10-15T12:18:09.335-04:00I love the McDuff children's stories by Rosema...I love the McDuff children's stories by Rosemary Wells. Her hero is a Westie, and it doesn't hurt that I also have a Westie named Mr. McDuff. I didn't discover Ms. Wells's charming books until after I'd named my dog.

The Art of Racing in the Rain is a favorite--such an interesting take on a truly engaging story. Dog On It is another great one narrated by the dog, and if you haven't read The One and Only Ivan, you must. It's a kid's book, so once I finished it I practically begged my boys to check it out. Your new cover is gorgeous and the book sounds amazing. Can't wait to check it out!Monica Tilleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09617682524321005591noreply@blogger.com
