The Goodest Dogs!
Friends,
As I type this, my fingers hover over the keys a little longer than usual, and my head also seems far emptier than usual! It’s just that kind of day: A book launch day!☺️
You’ve been here with me through the multiple drafts, the late-night doubts, and the sparks of joy that come from chasing stories about the creatures who love us best, and without question or end. And now, on this ordinary September day that feels anything but, The Goodest Boy is no longer just mine. It’s out there, waiting to find its way into hands like yours.
This collection is my first, a love letter to all the dogs I have ever known and to all those who magically turned up to grace the pages of the book. From a rescue daring to trust a new home will be a better place, to a champion collie who does not forget a dear farmyard friend. And a special nod to Vark, an ancient ancestor of modern dogs, who changed the destiny of an entire tribe.
Hopefully the stories in this collections are small truths wrapped in fur and devotion, and will remind you why mankind has one best friend above all others.
This is the first book of a series where I intend to keep unraveling the magic of these canine souls, with their wild hearts and their gentle lessons. Exploring how they mend us, one joyful leap and wagging tail at a time. And how much better every day is just because they are there with us.
The Goodest Boy is on Amazon as a paperback and as an ebook!
If these stories resonate with you, a few honest words in a review would be sincerely appreciated. Because in a vast sea of stories, your voice could guide another reader to exactly what they are looking for. We all trust reviews more than advertisements, and for good reason.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you—for listening, for lingering, and for celebrating all the wonderfulness of dogs!
***Sincere thanks to all of you who pre-ordered the book in the last few weeks! The Amazon and Goodreads listing is now open for reviews.🙏
