I hope you are having a WONDEFUL Labor Day weekend. I wanted to give you a few updates on where we're at with The Odd Dog, and tell you about a new project!
The Odd Dog is nearly done!
The illustrations are nearly done, and I'm THRILLED with how they turned out! To thank you for your support and your patience, here's a link where you can preview The Odd Dog! To access it, enter the password doggo and put your name in; think of it like a sign-in sheet at an event. :)
1) I can't show the full dog park on the eBook (yet), so you might not see your dog. Don't worry! They're in there, I promise! I've been told I'll be able to show the full park, but haven't quite figured it out. There were a few dogs we couldn't quite fit in, so they may be in other places in the book too. 2) Please don't share this link. This is a gift to you and the book is not quite ready yet. 3) The images will look a little off kilter because it mimics an open book; the real book will line up. :)
Side note: here are a few dogs whose pics I LOVE!!
This seems like a great time to introduce MY NEW BOOK!
Honestly, I wasn't planning to announce a new book so soon, but sometimes opportunity and inspiration come together! It started in July when Backerkit invited me to join Booktopia, a huge collaborative campaign where 50+ authors will be launching books at the same time.
Since this is the first Booktopia, I didn't feel like I could miss it. SO--
A new book, The Odd Dog's Guide to Making Friends, launches this Thursday! This book will help teach kids the 3/3/3 rule, a set of behaviors rescues and shelters often see with dogs learning to live with a family for the first time! The reader will be introduced to these behaviors through Odd's eyes, with his trademark blend of humor and sincerity.
The best part? I'm teaming up with shelters and rescues throughout the country, with each reward tier including copies of the books.
If this is a topic you're interested in or you want to support, please check out my new campaign! Even if you don't pledge, following the campaign and helping to spread the word helps tremendously!
Side note-- if you were super jealous of the dogs in the book I showed you, I'm offering that reward again. I'm just saying. :)
To summarize-- The Odd Dog is nearly done, with a printing soon to come, and there's an awesome new follow-up coming in a few days!
Thank you, as always, for joining me on this journey and for making this book possible.
