I’m excited to announce that Fromm Family Food, the only sponsor of bedlamfarm.com and the country’s oldest family-owned holistic pet food company (and the food my dogs eat) will give away a bag of free dog food to 100 of the people who pre-order “Second Chance Dog: A Love Story” from my local bookstore, Battenkill Books, before the book’s publication date.

The book will be published on November 12, and this offer applies to all of the people who have already pre-ordered the book from Battenkill and all those who pre-order it prior to November 12. Maria and I will sign and personalize any copies of “Second Chance Dog: A Love Story” purchased through Battenkill Books.

You can pre-order it easily online, Battenkill takes Paypal and ships anywhere in the world. Connie Brooks of Battenkill Books and her staff will select the winners at random, and each will be mailed a voucher for a free bag of Fromm’s highly regarded food. The vouchers can be exchanged for food at any store that sells Fromm foods.

Fromm does not outsource any of its food products and has never had a recall. I thank Fromm not only for supporting my work, but for supporting the notion of buying local and supporting a wonderful independent bookstore.

My dogs have been eating Fromm foods for more than a year, and I have seen quite remarkable  results regarding weight, coat, allergies and overall health. They are the first and only sponsors I have ever considered for the site and I consider them the classiest dog food company in America – my readers agree. This not only supports my book, it supports an independent bookstore who is demonstrating every day that individuality, independence and true customer service matter. You can pre-order the book online, or you can call Connie, Kate, Marilyn or Colleen at 518 677 2515. You can  pre-order the book here.  I’m also happy to tell you that I will be giving away 50 copies of “Second Chance Dog,” one a day for more than a month, to people who post about the book and it’s many related subjects – dogs, finding love, creative aging, training – on my Facebook page and blog.

I’m very serious about promoting this book, it is important to me, I am foregoing a traditional traveling book tour to promote it on my blog and social media pages, an important step for me in my ongoing transition to the new writer.
