If you want to listen in or participate on “Live Talk Nation,” a live online discussion of my new book “Second Chance Dog: A Love Story,” due out November 12, you can check it out and sign up here. If you wish to pre-order the book through Battenkill Books, my local bookstore, you will be eligible to win one the following: one of 100 free bags of the most excellent Fromm Family Food, a printed and matted photo of Minnie the barn cat with her hen friends, or some free copies of the book. You can pre-order “Second Chance Dog: A Love Story” here: or you can order it easily here. If you have already pre-ordered the book, you are still eligible for any of these prizes (not like the old book tours, is it?).

If you can and would like to subscribe to my blog and pay me for my work, you can do so here. If you don’t have the money you are very welcome here, the entire blog will remain free to you permanently. You did not turn your back on me, I will not turn my back on you.

And finally, bedlamfarm.com will be down for maintenance between and 3 p.m. today. This will give me time to finish up my Bedlam Farm Halloween Story and post it in time for tonight.
