And now moving on . . .

The book is out, the book tour is over, and we’re all on to finishing other novels and getting our lives back for a nanosecond.  We certainly don’t have time to plan another collaboration, at least not for another year, and we’d be insane to start talking about it now, but . . .

Wolfie and Milton

If anybody ever asks me again if I’ve ever based characters on real people, I can say, “Yes, Wolfie and Milton in Dogs and Goddesses.”
Wolfie’s been part of my life for a long time now, over eight years.  He was an inbred puppy mill dachshund who’d had three owners in his first year, so when [...]
