Autumn is upon us...or so I've heard. Down here in Florida, we generally call these months "Hurricane Season" and we're praying for a calm one. Because if it's quiet, I can write more. And judging from the response from readers to the Dogfather series, that's how you guys would like me to spend my time. Happy to oblige!

In case you haven't heard my shouting from the rooftops, the first book in the Dogfather Series is FREE FOR A LIMITED TIME! Check out any retailer and download Sit...Stay...Beg for free! Then you can devour the whole series! Which is now seven books, with the release of Double Dog Dare in August. Have your read them all?

If so, then you're probably wondering what's next now that all of the Dogfather's six kids are happily hitched. Trust me, the Dogfather isn't finished. In November, watch for my next holiday story, Bark! The Herald Angels Sing. After that, the Dogfather himself has a love story...Old Dog New Tricks will be out early next year. And of course the four Mahoney cousins need to find true love. And I've got a few surprises planned, too.

If you want to know the very day that I have new book released, please subscribe to my newsletter. I only send them when there is actual news, I promise! I don't do long pre-orders for books, so regular readers know the best way to keep up with the series is via my newsletter. And when you sign up, be sure to add your birthday and get a surprise from me.

Remember I donate a portion of sales from every book in the series to Alaqua Animal Refuge, where every cover in the series was shot (with rescue dogs on every cover and local dog lovers as models). By sharing a percentage of first month's sales plus being able to augment that periodically when sales are super strong, we've donated well over $7,000 so far and fully expect that number to go up, up, up. All because of my wonderful, supportive readers. I thank you, Alaqua thanks you, and the precious rescue animals who find their forever home are wagging their tails with love.

If you love the series, love dogs, love my books, or just love to connect with other like-minded readers, please join my private Dogfather Fans facebook page! I share snippets right from my manuscript in progress, have weekly (sometimes daily) giveaways, and talk openly about my process, my characters, and my life. It's a page where we celebrate "tails and tales" and all readers are welcome!
