Paw Prints in the Sand Sequel!!!
3/6/13
Guess What? It's here!!! Now Available on Kindle and soon to be published in paperback.
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.

Paw Prints in the Sand is now available on Kindle!
When Anthony and Chelsea rescue two dogs from the shelter, they expected to encounter some behavioral issues, but what they hadn't prepared for was the female to be pregnant. After it is discovered that one of her pups unknowingly falls into the wrong hands—the owner of a puppy mill, a group of men band together to coordinate a rescue effort, putting their own careers, as well as their lives on the line. A moving love story of sorts that demonstrates the unbreakable bond and sustainable love between dogs and humans.

My Dog Does That!
07/18/11
Just published! My Dog Does That! Available on Kindle and Nook, and in paperback!
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!
How did "My Dog Does That!" originate?When I wrote “Finally Home,” it was a great experience for me, as I got to wander down memory lane with Buddy, Sr. by my side, laughing at the crazy things that he did throughout the years and marveling at the fact that we survived it all! I was excited to write a book that did not have a sad ending and was able to look into his eyes when I wrote the last page, give him a high-five and say “We finished, Bud. A humorous book all about you.”As if he needed any more of an ego boost!For any of the dog-related events or book signings that were going to take place, I had planned to bring Buddy with me. I was lucky enough to have him sign a few of the first printed copies and still have his little smudge of a footprint that I will treasure forever.Unfortunately, shortly after I had published it, Buddy, sr. had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, which eventually led me to write my next dog-related book titled, “Final Journey.” Though definitely not a funny book, I felt it needed to be written if for nothing else but to make people aware of the severity of both canine cancer and canine grief. Many times those grieving the loss of a pet feel helplessly alone and I wanted to express exactly how I felt on that loss.Once that was published, I stuck to mainly writing thrillers for a while, but still had many ideas for dog-related stories. Like so many individuals, I love reading stories about dogs…or any animals really. Being a die-hard dog lover, I find myself engrossed in conversations about dogs all of the time and each person always is more than enthusiastic about sharing their experiences, and blurting out “My Dog Does That!...hence evolving the premise for my book, “My Dog Does That!”I had a lot of fun writing this one, as it does not focus on life or death, but purely the funny, ironic, weird, nutty, bizarre, embarrassing, frustrating, eerie, adorable, lovable (and many other) behaviors that all dogs exhibit every once in a while.If you've ever felt that your dog stories may seem a little outrageous, you're not alone. Look no further. Don't be surprised if you even blurt out a few times, "My Dog Does That!"As with all of my books, a portion of the proceeds from the sales of each book will be donated to an animal rescue group.

Evil's Door - Now Available on Kindle, Nook and paperback!
Childhood rumors are often prevalent in a family-oriented community. Some may boast that they have seen a UFO flying overhead while others claim to have witnessed a ghost soaring through the trees. Regardless of how outrageous they are, these 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. The truth revealed itself to him in more ways than one; a truth he was better off not knowing and one that could essentially end his life.
"Final Journey-Buddys' Book" Now Available on Kindle, The Nook and in Paperback!
After the publication of "Finally Home," Buddy was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Once the unthinkable happened and Buddy's precious life was cut short, his family was left heartbroken and devastated.
At the same time, in another state, poor economic conditions forced another family to give up their golden retriever.
As fate would have it, his name...was Buddy.
While they were mourning the loss of their beloved dog, another dog was mourning the loss of his treasured family.
Brought together by misfortune, they entered each other's lives to help put back together the pieces of their broken hearts.
This story is for both Buddys, producing the subtitle "Buddys' Book."
GROWLOWEEN
10/31/10
Had a great time today, where I spent the morning with Abby from "Barkscotti and Pupcakes" at a dog training facility that hosted GROWLOWEEN.
While I promoted my books and Abby gave away some healthy, sample treats for dogs, the pups were strutting their stuff fully dressed in costume.
Costumes ranged from a clown, to Tarzan, a football player, a police dog and its prisoner, to a pirate, a banana split and a few bumble bees!
There were a bunch of games for the dogs, along with prizes for best costume.
Who says Halloween is just for kids?!
Phobia On Sale Now!
09/28/10
Phobia has been published today - available on createspace, Amazon.com and kindle.com
Growing up with phobias that have terrified him his entire life, Matt Brewer had finally made the decision to go to counseling, seeking help once and for all.
He entrusted his emotions in the hands of strangers and depended on them to help conquer his fear. What he did not count on was having his fears become a distinct reality, leaving him fighting for his life and the lives of those around him, including his girlfriend whom he intended to marry.
Tortured and bound, he comes face to face with evil with no one to hear his screams. Time is of the essence and it’s a literal race against the clock in order to make it out alive.

Donations
Since its publication, I have been donating a portion of the proceeds from "Finally Home" to a dog rescue organization, since it is a dog-related book.After taking a closer look at all the recently reported stray dogs that have been abandoned, neglected, abused and left to fend for themselves, I've decided to donate a portion of the proceeds from "Unwanted Dreams," as well and plan to do the same with "Phobia" once it is released.
As always, thank you for your support!
