I woke up to the news in my front yard, which is that life is challenging, life is good, life is unpredictable. I want to make my own news. Today officially kicks off my book tour. Booklist said this of “Rose In A Storm:”  “Spinning the narrative from Rose’s point of view, he paints a portrait of a close-knit community, where animals and humans rely on one another for comfort and protection. With her master injured and a ferocious storm swirling around at the height of lambing season, it is up to Rose to call upon all her instinctive resources to battle the elements of nature in order to save the lives of her sheep and rescue her farmer. Heartwarming fodder for the pet set.”

Nice but what is really important is that I like the book, and I do like this one.

Tonight, Northshire Books, Manchester Center, 7 p.m. w/Izzy.
