Sequel to "Paw Prints in the Sand"
In the prequel, Paw Prints in the Sand, you read the heartwarming story about Foxy, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling retriever who was mistakenly sold to the owners of a puppy mill and lives to tell about it. Her story is one of encouragement and hope and enables us to realize how important it is to band together and save the lives of other dogs living in the same type of cruel environment. That is, if you can truly call it living. After all, these poor dogs are merely existing in cramped cages without proper food, exercise, medicine or love.
The inspirational sequel continues with a bit of a twist. A man suffering with what some might call a critical mid-life crisis (and then some) is contemplating life and trying desperately to find reasons to stay alive.
His wife left him, he hates his job and despises his less-than-appreciative boss. Life as he knows it is pointless. A chance situation gives him reason to smile and he finds himself conversing with a couple of men who are excited to begin a new venture building a modern dog shelter called, "Paw Prints in the Sand. "
Often, we hear about dogs that have been rescued by humans, but rarely do we acknowledge that the opposite is actually true. Discover how Harrison's life is drastically changed by opening his heart to these four-legged creatures. You'll find yourself in agreement that often it is our furry friends that rescue us just as much as we rescue them.

A Fictional Novella.

"Bark Out Loud" is a compilation of motivational and thought-provoking quotes—some about dogs and some about life in general—that have been inspired by my own dogs, as well as those that I've met and those that I'll never have the opportunity to meet.

Many of the quotes are meant to motivate, some are meant to initiate a smile and others are simply thoughts to ponder.

All of the animal-related pictures in this book are either of dogs or cats that we— or someone we know— had the opportunity to rescue.

If you enjoy goofy photographs of animals or pretty landscape pictures along with uplifting words, then this book is for you!

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to animal rescue organizations.

Enjoy and thank you!

Childhood rumors are often prevalent in a family-oriented community. Some boast that they have seen a UFO flying overhead while others claim to have witnessed a ghost soaring through the trees. Some stories are so believable that they trickle down from sibling to sibling, friend to friend; creating a neighborhood buzz that lingers for years.
Ryan Sheffield's neighborhood was no different. Though no one would admit it, adults and children alike were freaked out by the eccentric woman who lived in the ghastly corner house, but aside from that, his world as he knew it was an ordinary one.
Bizarre situations did not surface until Ryan began working at his very first job. To his peers and superiors, it was just a traditional office. To Ryan, it was much more than that after a series of inexplicable occurrences haunted his every conscious moment.
Through a bit of intense research, he uncovered the building's gruesome history and was led down its horrifying path. He opened the door to a hell he did not want to live in and tried his best to avoid the evil that surrounded him.
Behind the walls, muffled voices scream for help and the elevator's sporadic malfunction only happen when Ryan is alone. When the elevator finally reaches a floor that had been officially sealed years ago -- one that might be the depths of hell -- the truth reveals itself in more ways than one: a truth he was better off not knowing and one that could essentially end his life.

Faced with an impossible moral decision, Alex had to make a choice that would come back to haunt her in years to come, once again forcing her to tempt the hands of fate.

PHOBIA:

Due to a sibling practical joke gone bad caused by his older brother, Matt Brewer grew up with intense phobias that have haunted him for the better part of his adulthood and was tired of living in fear. His lifelong dreams were starting to come true in every possible aspect and his relationship was starting to flourish, but without help he had the potential to lead his life to ruins and self-destruction. Simple day-to-day activities caused him to become overwhelmed with extreme panic attacks without any warning.
After contemplating the benefits for hours on end and gathering the courage to do so, he finally made a conscious decision to go to group counseling, seeking help once and for all. It would only be a matter of time before his life got back on track.
He entrusted his heartfelt emotions and embarrassing cowardice in the hands of complete strangers and depended on them to help conquer his indomitable and irrational fears.
What he did not count on was having group therapy work against him and his worst fears become a distinct reality, leaving him fighting for his life and the precious lives of those around him, including his wonderful girlfriend whom he intended to marry.
Unbeknownst to him, his every move was being recorded and his darkest secrets revealed to a homicidal psychopath. Helplessly tortured and bound, he comes face to face with pure evil with no one to hear his desperate screams. Odds are against him and his futile attempts of escaping send waves of despair as he is the sole person with the ability to save his loved ones and others who may not live to see tomorrow.
Time is of the essence and it is a literal race against the clock in order to make it out alive.

A humorous, cheery, feel-good book about what all dog-lovers have in common: dogs and the reasons that we love them. Some days they make us laugh, some days they make us crazy, but one thing is for certain; they do some interesting things that non dog-lovers wouldn't understand.

Do you ever feel a bit awkward due to the stunts that your dog has pulled? Do you ever feel as if you are the only one whose dog embarrasses them at not-so-convenient times? How about those wonderfully sweet and tender moments that you so badly want to brag about, but are afraid others may not understand? If so, you're not alone!

We dog-lovers can all relate to the everyday occurrences when it comes to our furry friends because our dogs do that too!
