Help Me Get My Book Published

[GAD]

I would like to try something different today. As many of you may know, I have written a book about my life with Cozy, my beloved Newfoundland dog who was put to sleep in my arms some four years ago. In an effort to make the book appealing to agents, I am rewriting the beginning, which I have included here. I am also you asking for a favor.

Please pretend that you are standing in your favorite book store (or hovering over your ebook device of choice) and reading this passage. Imagine you’ve picked up the book because of the stunning graphics and handsome author’s picture, and intrigued by what you’ve seen thus far, turned to the beginning to see if it’s worthy of purchase.

You can read the rest here: http://www.gad.net/Blog/2010/10/22/cozy ... e-preface/

I am also a writer. Your preface was compelling enough to make me want to read the book.

We had to put down our golden retriever, Sadie, a few years ago. It was one of the saddest moments of my life. We let her eat a whole can of tuna, and she was licking my hand right to the end.

Dr. Larry made a house call to put her to sleep, he even prayed with us, reminding us that Jesus said God is sad even when a common sparrow falls from the sky. Will there be dogs and other animals in heaven? No doubt in my mind. If there is any one animal that can teach us something about unconditional love, it's the dog.

Keep writing! I'll be interested in seeing the finished book.

Here's our new dog, Koko:
