Dogs are Hot in the Book World

According to literary agent, Kristin Nelson, dogs are hot at the moment and editors are searching for both fiction and nonfiction projects relating to dogs after the recent success of Marley & Me. Kristin says The Art of Racing in the Rain is also another success story.

I’d like to say I beat the trend with my Talking Dog series at Ellora’s Cave. If you enjoy dog stories, humor and romance check out Talking Dogs, Aliens and Purple People Eaters, Never Send a Dog to do a Woman’s Job, or Romantic Interlude which all feature Killer, the talking dog. Romancing the Alien is a print combo of the first two Talking Dogs books.

It’s time for a cup of tea, so in the immortal words of Killer – “Do ya have any food?”

    Dogs? Hmm… Maybe were-dogs? After all some women think men are dogs. “Who let the dogs out?… Who? Who?” (*signs the Baha Man song*

    Lol, and by the time I’ve finished my great dog novel, it’s cats that are all over the place.

    I love Killer, too, Amy. She’s such a character and says all the stuff I’d love to say!

    Tempest – have you been drinking?

    Gabriele – your timing sounds about the same as mine. I told you I was too early!
