I got my authors copy of “Talking To Animals” Monday, and Fate and Red seemed quite intrigued. The book will be out for sale on March 5.

You can pre-order the book from Battenkill Books, my local independent bookstore, and get a free and classy tote-bag specially designed for this promotion. It features a border collie and the words “stay.sit.read.” You can pre-order here and I will sign and personalize each book, so far, more than 500 pre-orders. Heading for 1,000, plenty of tote bags left and you will support a wonderful independent bookstore as well as an enterprising author. You can also call the bookstore at 518 677-2515 and talk to the very nice and knowledgeable people who work there.
