Where
did you get the inspiration for your book’s cover?
My
book cover is a favorite picture of my two happy dogs at the park.
Who
has been the most significant influence on you personally and as a writer?
I
dedicated the book to my mother, Ruth, as she dedicated her life to be my
biggest champion and supporter. I lost her a few years ago to cancer. I still
miss her dearly. My little dog was the love of her life, Eddie, the tiny
chihuahua. I promised her to care for him, as she would.

What
were your struggles or obstacles you had to overcome to get this book written?
My
biggest struggles to complete this book were technical issues. I deleted the
entire manuscript once. I deleted about half of it, again, by accident. I now
have many backup copies as I write, in multiple locations. That was a very
painful way to learn the importance of backing up the files.
Tell
your readers about your book.
My
book covers everything from things to think about before you get a dog,
bringing home a new puppy or rescue dog, common behavioral and health issues,
to caring for senior dogs. I wanted to write a comprehensive guide, that could
be used as an easy way to take the best care possible of your dog.

Who
is your target audience, and why?
My
target audience is new dog owners or people that would like to do better for
their dogs. I believe that our dogs deserve the best life that we can provide
for them.
What
do you consider your greatest success in life?
I am
a good person. I am a helper by nature. If someone needs help, I help them if I
can. I think we should all help each other and not worry so much about our differences.
What
one unique thing sets you apart from other writers in your genre?
I am not a dog trainer. My job is to help owners take really good care of their dogs and fill in for them when they can't go for a walk or be home at night. I respect that there are many different ways to care for dogs and more than one way can work.
