Two pretty puppers
Firstly, this newsletter will be shorter than usual. This week, my attention is focused on Oz, my eight-year-old Anatolian shepherd. He’s got acute pancreatitis. He’s slowly getting better, but … well, I’m exhausted.
Secondly, I commissioned a drawing of the talking dog, Spock, in the novel I’m working on. I’m pretty pleased with how it’s turned out. What do you think?
Finally, Livid Skies launched (space pun fully intended) two weeks ago – and I’m delighted with the results so far. Check out this lovely review. You can buy it straight from me at a discount to the retail price or you can order it from your preferred retailer here.
Book review: Junkyard
McCall is an autistic bounty hunter/investigator. She’s an expert in tracking down people who’ve eluded capture. Only … her new personal assistant, Scipio, has signed her up for a job tracking down 200 tons of missing maple syrup.
Part whodunnit and part science fiction. Think Asimov’s Caves of Steel with the (very welcome) addition of a 150-pound adorable failure of a guard dog.
If Goodreads allowed half stars, I’d take half a star off for failure to include a content warning that there would be reference to horrible animal cruelty. Go ahead and kill all the fictional people you want, but if you harm one hair on a dog’s head, I will never forgive you. If that precious dog had died, I’d have put the author straight onto my never-again list. I’m happy to report, she’s going on my favourites list instead.
Highly recommended. Get it now for free from your preferred retailer.
