Having
a dog is supposed to change your life. You are welcoming another member of the
family when you bring home that wriggly wrinkled puppy. If you are really
lucky, that pup becomes your “heart dog.” To me, that means a connection that
goes beyond the normal human/dog bond. Bentley is that dog for me.
He
inspired my book series, The Returns and The Returns 2~Showstoppers.
In
honor of his 10th birthday, The Returns eBook will be FREE worldwide beginning today, December 1 through Sunday, December 3, 2017. This is not a story about my dog even though
he is on the cover.
Here is the blurb that you’ll
find on Amazon:
What happens if you arrive at the
Pearly Gates before your time?
F.B.I. Agent Bentley Clanton finds out the hard way as he is directed to a little-known area devoted to correcting glitches in the longevity system. The Returns Department specializes in finding appropriate bodies for “early arrivals” before sending them back to earth. It seemed an acceptable solution until Bentley realizes his new body includes long velvety ears, four stubby legs with giant paws, and a tail. Helping him adjust to life as a Basset Hound is his rookie Guardian Angel, along with three other canine Returns.

Laugh along as a delightful Golden
Retriever, a feisty Chihuahua, and Flamboyant Westie join Bentley to form an
unlikely brotherhood of crime-fighting heroes. The Returns takes you on a
fun-loving, junk food eating adventure through the exciting streets of New
Orleans during Mardi Gras.

that's sad that puppy mills still exist ;o( and I wish we would live in your area, it is eggs-tremely cold here and I dislike it to leave my crib...
ReplyDeleteWe wish all puppy mills would be shut down. Our winters are usually never very cold but our summers are super hot.
DeleteI can’t believe it’s getting in the 30s at night in Shreveport. Trying to catch up with Boston! Lol
ReplyDeleteI reckon! It is still short sleeve weather during the day.
DeleteBelly rubs are da best!
ReplyDeleteBoth boys go belly up for dual belly rubs. They are so spoiled. BOL!
DeleteWe can I believe puppy mill still exist either! Hoping one day they will all be stopped!
ReplyDeleteHopefully, the laws will become stricter and pet stores will stop selling puppies.
DeleteYou are having quite the event, Bentley! I wish I could be there with you in the fur! I'm coming in your direction...south today and tomorrow to SE Iowa, but it is still a long way from your place. Happy Birthday Weekend!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have you visit me in the fur for my birthday! Iowa is still a very long way. Be careful on the road.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I hope that you love The Returns. There are a couple of awesome cats in the story. Belly rubs are on the agenda!
DeleteOh my goodness, Happy Birthday Bentley - a bit early. How exciting! I know Ma and Pierre are running around like crazy getting stuff ready for a Pawsome birthday for you. What a great way to celebrate, w/ a FREE e-copy of your wonderful books, The Returns! These are two of my favorite mystery stories for sure. Sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove & Biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
Thank you so much, Cathy!
DeleteI think every dog will become your heartdog when it joins your family. Every time we get a dog, it becomes our heartdog after a while. When we looses one dog we think we never can love any dog more, but fortunetely the new dog suddenly is our heartdog.
ReplyDeletePierre is my heartdog too but we have a different bond. He is my snuggle buddy! I love all of my pets to the moon and back.
DeleteWe can't wait to celebrate with Bentley! We only wish we could give him a belly rub in purrson.
ReplyDeleteI will give him an extra belly rub from the Island Cats!
Deletewe have even sold stuff on Craigs List!
ReplyDeletehugs
Hazel & Mabel
I have used two other sites to sell things. I haven't really looked at Craigs list too much. Maybe I should...
DeleteIt's not every dog who inspires two books! Bentley is pretty special. How wonderful of you to share your book so more people can enjoy it as much as I did!
ReplyDeleteJan, Wag 'n Woof Pets
Thank you, Janet! He is a special fellow but how can he already be turning 10?!?
DeleteAll dogs are special, but heart dogs are extra extra special. Looking forward to reading his birthday post!
ReplyDeleteWe will probably be reporting on it over the course of a few days since we have the big giveaway.
DeleteLooking forward to reading the extra special birthday boy's post. What a fur-bulous collection of books!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great book!! Actually we found out we already had it on the Kindle app but mom always reads from the NOOK app and must have forgotten in her old dusty mind!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
