Peg Brantley Thanks for your Goodreads friendship, Cal.

I hate to hock my first book to you… but you might like it. Check out a sample first… but there are plenty of great dogs in it. And a little science. Normally I wouldn't do this, but your interests seemed like they might be a good fit. It seems like you have talents of your own.

Oh… the trailer is on my author page here, if you haven't seen it already.

Thanks again. And I promise I won't be in your face. In fact, I'm moving back to my cave now to continue work on my second release.
