My publicist, a.k.a. Joie, gave the approval to announce the schedule for my Joyful Paws Jaunt. This is my on line book tour that begins this week. You will find me and my new book Through Frankie’s Eyes making stops at blogs, radio shows, and a few in person events I’ll share over the next three months.  Below is the full schedule.  I will also be adding where I’ll be on any certain day to the end of upcoming blog posts when appropriate.

Before I announce the schedule, I do have to let you know that I was interviewed for the Tiny House Blog today. I was so excited to be featured on this blog that I’ve been following and admiring for many months now. You can see photos of my writing cottage as well as read my thoughts on tiny house living. Thank you, Christina for the opportunity to be on the blog!

Remembering Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog- Video

As I’ve been preparing for my book launch this Thursday, I put together a Powerpoint slideshow that will be on a loop for the event that evening. I wanted to also do something special for all of you that have been loyal Frankie fans and can’t be at my book launch.
So grab a cup of tea or coffee, or your favorite beverage and sit a spell… and take a walk down memory lane with me and the love dog on wheels who lives on not only in my heart… but the hearts of many.
