Dear Reader,

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my website for the dog walker series. Book two, Heir of the Dog, will be out in October, and the cover is posted overhead so you can recognize it when you go to the bookstore. There’s also an excerpt available, so give it a quick read and prepare yourself for Ellie and Rudy’s next adventure.

Have you signed up for my newsletter? If not, please do so.

Have you entered the contest for a lawyer joke. If you win, you can get an acknowledgement at the beginning of the book in which I use the joke.

Have you taken a look at the Puppy Pages? If you’ve sent me a photo of your dog, it could be posted there. If you sent one and it’s not up, drop me an e-mail and send it again. My web person is great, but sometimes things get lost in Cyberspace and we never find them again.

Of course, Hounding the Pavement is still going strong. The most important thing you need to know about this book is that ALL royalties earned will be donated to Best Friends, the largest no-kill animal shelter in the US. This kind and caring organization takes in dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, even goats, and no animal will ever be ‘put down’ while living there. These folks are the ‘real deal’ when it comes to assisting our four-legged or feathered friends.

And don’t forget to read Rudy’s blog. I’m a lazy blogger, so I’ve given him the task, and since he’s really the ‘star’ of these stories, he’s the perfect person...uh...dog, to tackle the job. He’ll share info on the characters, the plots, and Ellie’s romance with Sam. He’ll even discuss the details of our TV deal.

Thanks for stopping by the site. Please e-mail me if you have any story ideas, thoughts on the books, even a complaint. We aim to please.

Sincerely,
Judi
