Will you help a poor sick pup?

By Lorna Barrett / Lorraine Bartlett

I recently downloaded my first book via Smashwords.  It was a lot easier than I thought it would be.  Download, drop, drag.  Into my Kindle it went.  And it happened to be The Heart of Dog, an anthology of dog stories put together by my friend and fellow author Doranna Durgin.

She's got a sick pup whose medical expenses far exceed her writerly income.  (It's tough enough for authors to scrape up the cash for their own health insurance, let alone pets.  You can read about Connery here.) 

So Doranna asked a few of her friends to donate short stories about dogs, and all the money earned from the anthology will go to ConneryBeagle's medical care -- and (if more money comes in than needed for him) for the care of other sick dogs.

So if you love dogs (or cats or fish or even porcupines) and you've got an e reader, I hope you'll consider buying The Heart of Dog. You can get it here on Smashwords (for all formats)  It's also available on Nook and on Kindle.



ConneryBeagle has a lot of personality and is quite a vocal (BAWHSOME) boy.  Not only does he have his on blog (right here), but he also has a Facebook page which you can LIKE (right here).

Why don't you become acquainted with this brave little beagle.  I don't think you'll be sorry.
