I had planned to update this page over a month ago, but I was grabbed by a virus that didn’t let go until recently. I slept a lot and couldn’t focus enough to read, much less write. I’m guessing some of you experienced similar illness this winter, so you understand what I’m talking about.

I’ve recovered now and am once again working on my new book based on my experience with my current miniature schnauzer, who proved to be a very challenging puppy. The text is written and has been edited once, and I’ll likely tweak the test again. Currently, I’m working on the illustrations, which I’m liking a lot.

This book will have some new and unusual elements. I’m excited about this but want you to be surprised. So be patient, and I’ll keep you posted on the book’s progress.

Although it certainly doesn’t appear that way here, spring is on its way. Enjoy the transition!

Fun day at the Sons of Norway annual bake sale. I had a table there, sold some books, and had a chance to meet new people and reconnect with folks. I hadn’t seen in a while.
