Check out the cover for the trade paperback edition of The Dog Who Danced, due out in June. Once again, SMP artist Ervan Serrano does me proud.
***************I can't believe it! The Dog Writers Association of American honored me with the Maxwell Medal for Fiction at its award banquet held at the Affinia Manhattan Hotel in New York City on Sunday Feb 10, 2013. In those beautiful surroundings, I felt like a nominee for an Oscar, and was shocked when my name was called. .jpg)
Also during that February trip to the Big Apple, I got to hang out with my peeps: Andrea Cirllo, agent extraordinarie and her accomplice the incomparable Anneliese Robey, plus the woman who holds the title: World's Best Editor, Jennifer Enderlin, and the Queen of Publicity and Marketing, Jeanne-Marie Hudson. Best lunch meeting ever!
Love and happy reading.....

This is DWAA president, Carmen Battaglia presenting me with the medal. Bearing in mind that this event was held the day after the blizzard known as Nemo had paralyzed much of New England, New York and vicinity, it came as no surprise that the actual take home medals were delayed. So, this is the 'model medal' around my neck. Can't wait to see my very own!
The best part (other than winning) was meeting some wonderful writers who make dogs their chief subject. The other fun part was being in the lobby of the Affinia Manhattan and meeting some of the dogs who would be showing at the Westminster Kennel Club show the next day. Met this guy, a Wire Haired Pointing Griffon and chatted up his people. Higgins was apparently glad to meet us. Hence the smile.
