The Corgi With Starlight In His Eyes: A True Story
One afternoon, a Pembroke Welsh corgi popped up on our deck.
He was handsome as a movie star.
Golden in the summer sun, he glowed.
“It’s fate!” Joyce said. “He’s come to us for a reason!”
That reason proved powerful—this super-aware dog, Nosmo, came to us just as a crisis struck, life or death. He brought courage, and warmth, and determination. He wove us into a team of three, a woman, a man, and a dog. As if it really were fated, we faced what we must—together.
We’ve just published Nosmo’s story, The Corgi With Starlight In His Eyes. It’s about finding your true home, and your true people.
It’s joyous.
It’s a love story.
We’re in it, too, Joyce and Richard. So is our forest and our meadow, and our late-night mountain sky, black and starry.
We hope some of you will read this book, and we hope it gives you pleasure.

About the author
Richard Wolkomir
23 books48 followersI write stories, often speculative fiction, sometimes mysteries. It started when a Pembroke Welsh corgi came to live with us, and I realized I could read his mind.
It's not hard--eye glints and brow furrowings tell you just what's going on in that doggy head.
I wondered, though: how would it be to actually speak with animals, back and forth, hearing their thoughts and concerns? A story came to me. It was about a place where certain people do speak with animals, not with tongues, animals being unequipped for that, but mind to mind.
It became a novel, "Wil Deft," complete with a fantasy world Pembroke Welsh corgi. Another novel, "Sinnabar," followed, with some of the same characters reappearing, including that talkative corgi.
I'd always made my living writing articles and essays for magazines. Now--because of that corgi--instead of reporting stories, I make them up.
I greatly enjoy writing stories, and I hope some people will enjoy reading them.

This is a true story. We lived it. Names have been changed in a few instances. Nosmo couldn't tell us directly what he thought and felt--we had to intuit it, from his expressions and his vocalizations and his body language and the look in his eyes. Dogs are sincere. They don't hide their thoughts and emotions. They let you know.
