I was chosen as Humor Writer of the Month by the Erma Bombeck Writers Workshop! Hooray! See the details at: http://humorwriters.org/category/humor-writer-of-the-month/ I’m so honored! I loved Erma Bombeck’s writing. She managed to find humor in the ironies – and in some cases drudgery – of daily life. I often think of one or another of her humor pieces […]

Nice to know!! So excited
Haha! Our terrier mix and shepherd mix are certainly selective, too. They hear "treat" without fail, but "down" or "no!" don't always register. Raggs is such a cute name!
Reggie certainly looks happy! My own dog, Raggs, has "selective" hearing--and he's not well trained. But. Our dogs are family and we do love them.

I LOVED getaway with Murder. The second book can't be published soon enough. Can you write any faster? ;-)
