A Picture is Worth 1000 Words. So is it Worth a Blog Post, Too?

Hope so!

Hi, and Happy New Year!  So, you might remember how last time I was up, I's really wanted to post the cover of my upcoming novel, A PUG'S TALE.  But I couldn't because we were still doing a little bit of back of forth (hmm, maybe that pug should go here, can that pug go over there?).  I'm happy (really happy) to say that work on the cover is complete.  So, here you go:



Like? Also, it's book giveaway time.  I'm giving away a signed copy of my third novel THROUGH THICK AND THIN to someone who leaves a comment today.  I'll select a name at random from a baseball hat filled with the names written on crumpled up paper.  My dog, Carlie, will help with this.

    I'm game. Count me in. And I agree about the cover of "A Pug's Life." One of my friends loves pugs and I'll have to tell her about that book!

    Great cover, Alison! I'll have to order that book for my friend of 39 years. She is CRAZY for pugs. She had two pugs but recently lost one to a horrible, rare condition. I would love to read Through Thick and Thin! Happy Weekend!
