We thought we were done with more dogs until we got a call from our 'former son' who lives in RI. They had bought a Kerry Blue Terrier and named her Piper. Living in a basic suburb they soon discovered that the dogs needs lots of exercise and room to play. These are criteria that did not fit their situation. At 1 year old, she was a handful. So, "Dad, if you don't take her we will have to send her to the pound" scenario came up. Yup, suckers, we took the dog. We love her to death and she get... Continue reading ...
By the time we moved back to Maine from NY, we were down to 3 wolfhounds and Callie. Then, just before we moved, a "friend" brought over a border collie pup-that was mean as my wife is a sucker for pups. Having lost 10 dogs over the years-all, except one, to age, the idea of more dogs was not my favorite topic. Obviously, with so many dogs, it was hard to get away for any long stretch. Also, at the time we had 7 horses (another story for later), chickens, goats, etc. But, a cute puppy was no... Continue reading ...

was 1,000 ... Continue reading ...

MY BLOG
Even though thousands of great books are published daily, writing is rapidly changing and becoming a lost art. I will use this blog to comment on not just my writing, but also about what I feel is right and wrong in the world of literature. I hope to get a little personal here, also. Maybe introduce some of my family, talk about influences on my life, where I've been, what I've done and just share a little about me, beyond the formal bio.  Continue reading ...
