When Things Go Dark

by Bria Burton

When Things Go Dark is the third e-book in a series called Lance & Ringo Tails. Each tail is a short story about two brothers, a dog and a cat. In Tail Three, tough times bring the brothers closer together, as told by their human. Lance and Ringo also share their perspectives, granting a glimpse into what these two really think of each other and their humans. The series is based on my real pets and their real life wild adventures. Each fictionalized book contains a humorous short story about Lance, an English springer spaniel, and Ringo, a long-haired domestic cat. Recommended for ages 10+, but animal lovers of all ages will enjoy the "tails."

I was sad when this book was over because I have read all three in the series and enjoyed them all so much! Written in the voices of the animals themselves, they were each unique and highly entertaining.
