Lily is desperate to have Delilah in her life, even though her mother is doomed to spend the rest of time in the Void of Nothingness. Lily thinks she might have found a way to res-cue her, even if it is a little risky... Matt Lannings is desperate to keep Lily safe; he's also on a crusade to improve the lot of mistreated dogs. The reappearance of someone he thought he'd never see again threatens to foil him. Sebastian Hounds are never desperate. They're always laid-back, and supportive, and enthusiastic, even when their humans lead them into jeopardy.
Susan Alison paints pictures and writes stories for a living, and her cafetiere is always hot.
Dogs tend to enter into the pictures, and the prose, quite a lot, Susan living under the paw as she does.
Monty and Rosie (and Jeff-Dog now too) are her Border Collies - they keep an eye on her artwork to make sure she keeps earning kibble, and every now and they they round it up and post it to her artwork blog here.
