BITTEN!: My Days As Donald Trump's White House Dog
This political parody is about a dog named Plum who talks, thinks, reasons, has an opinion on almost everything and lots of attitude. He lives in Paris where he is a chef, food writer and owner of a Michelin star restaurant off Place des Vosges. He is also a guest judge on Top Chef France and author of the international bestseller The Pug That Ate Paris.One of Plum’s most prominent customers was Melania Trump, before she became First Lady. They were best buds, then Donald Trump got elected and Melania couldn't come to Paris anymore. So, she asked Plum to move to Washington D.C. to be her personal chef at the White House. He says yes and comes to Washington with his human business partner, Milo. Plum poses as Milo’s dog and keeps his mouth shut whenever Trump is around. Life is going great for Plum--until President Donald J. Trump recruits him for a press conference. The President feels he needs to please the dog-lovers in his base, Trump presents Plum to the press where he is a rousing smash. Everybody loves Plum so Trump recruits him full-time to be his White House dog. That's when the trouble begins for Plum, and, well, Donald too.This is their story.

D.B. Gilles
27 books13 followersD.B. Gilles's began 2015 with the publication of his first Young Adult novel THE PUG THAT ATE PARIS, about a Paris-based talking dog, food critic and bon vivant!

Last year he came out with WRITERS REHAB: A 12-STEP PROGRAM FOR WRITERS WHO CAN'T GET THEIR ACTS TOGETHER (from Michael Weise Publishing) which is a departure for him.

You'll want to take a bite out of this book!
This was a fun, fast-paced kinda-sequel to The Pug That Ate Paris. Love Trump or hate him, you'll enjoy this story if you love pugs, food or satire.
Persnickety Plum the talking pug, a French gourmet, is mistakenly named the First Dog and must contend with a man who possesses the palate of a fast-food fan. They couldn't be more different. It's an Oscar meets Felix situation much like if the Odd Couple moved into the White House.
