Muffy and the Dog Catcher

The idea for Muffy and the Dog Catcher just jumped into my head one day. It wasn't really a difficult or "efforty" thing, I just sat down and the paragraph formed . I could see the puppy in my mind's eye chasing the grasshopper further and further away from home. It was as if the character was emerging right before my eyes and I just knew what to write. At first I didn't even realize I was writing a book. It was just a little escapade. But then more characters emerged and it started to become an adventure. The Gabriel family is loosely based on my family, and the dogs in the book are loosely based on dogs I have had the pleasure and honor to share with my house with over the years. I loved writing and illustrating it, it became a joyful obsession, like chocolate. I hope your children enjoy reading it as much I enjoyed writing it.
