My new newsletter!

Something else that's been overlooked in the (computer meltdown) mayhem was that my newly taken over newsletter went out yesterday. I can't find it anywhere online, so that's something that needs sorting - it needs to be on my smartened up website somewhere. That's here: www.SusanAlison.com

This is the first bit of the newsletter: see pic below - these corgis are celebrating the new management, as are all right thinking dogs.

There's been a change in management here at newsletter HQ - I, your humble PupperJack, have taken over. Susan has been too busy writing, painting and fretting about delayed parcel shipments (not to mention computer meltdowns) to keep the newsletter to the monthly schedule we all dream of. Tut tut.

It is a new dawn for this newsletter, swiftly followed by treats and ambles.

Half-price rom com - 'Out from Under the Polar Bear' - romance, humour, dogs...


Stephanie Lawry has an unsuitable fiance, claustrophobia, and a disquieting rash...

Jack Redmond tries hard to be a good father to his children despite his ex-wife's attitude problem, and his mistakenly-gained drunken-perv reputation.

Add in Steph's bolshie parents, Jack's too-bright children, an old lover, a couple of rescued dogs, and a manky polar bear, and it's no wonder the games people play get out of hand.

Will Steph learn the rules of the relationship game in time to win Jack, or are the stakes
too high?

Excerpt from 'Woofs of Wisdom on Writing' by CorgiScribe; illustrated by Susan Alison

Night and/or day


Some pups rival the nocturnal habits of owls
tapping away into the bowels
of night getting down their howls
of creative birth.

They end up with permanent writerly scowls,
bags under their eyes down to their jowls,
loads of prose with not enough vowels,
and an increasing girth.

But despite the leg-aching midnight prowls,
the frustrated and often nonsensical growls,
the slapping of faces with wet towels
– for some of us it can be of great worth!

Others of us need to sleep at night
and only work in the light
of day.
That is to say:

don’t be wary
if you vary
from the ‘norm’.


Because there isn’t one.




Yayyy!!! Woofs of Wisdom on Writing is published!!!

Really cool surf dudes - labrador retriever dogs take to the waves

Some new cards - from a watercolor painting titled: 'Really cool surf dudes'.

Three Labrador dogs take to the waves. They're really cool surf dudes. However, one of them is REALLY, really cool - he sips his cocktail while behind him his two friends provide the board show.

Corgi concerns - the Charleston, flying trapeze, and the odd meatball

Corgi flapper
(Her favorite dance songs were Muskdog Ramble, Digger Digger Dog and King Corgi Stomp
)


Trapeze diva
(Mind you, she was a bit of a prima donna when she wasn't on the flying trapeze as well...
)
There may be trouble ahead
(because there's an odd number of meatballs...)

Marathon


Panting and grunting and panting some more,
almost drowning out the cheers;
little legs pumping, paws getting sore.

Tongue flapping,
lolloping ears;
paws on the trail slapping.

Focussing on the music your body makes,
forgetting all your fears;
forgetting all your pains and aches…

Each paw thud sets the tone,
the ground flies by, hurt disappears.
RacerCorgi is in The Zone.


(until someone yells: “Supper!” - and then he’s not…)

This is another pic and verse from The Corgi Games....

'The Corgi Games' (book) puts in an appearance...


Of course, the Queen's Jubilee AND the London Olympics in the same year begs for combination - hence - The Corgi Games - in which Welsh Corgi dogs engage in various forms of sport (including sack racing) in their usual stylish and winning way. In rhyme. Natch.

The Corgi Games is on Amazon for Kindle, but not yet in paperback - I've not used Amazon's CreateSpace before for paperbacks so that's a wait and see thing, really. Of course, the pics on your Kindle (unless you have a fancy one) will be in black and white, but I've made the paperback full colour so I'm waiting pretty impatiently to see that one... Anyway, here it is - it's received its first review so I'm chuffed. (Why do I always feel so shy about announcing new books etc??). The formatter I used was brilliant but of course so much depends on the size the reader makes their font...

 

I hadn't really taken on board how little of the book would be seen in the sample so I'm putting another sample on here - I'll put the Sledding verse and pic:

Sledding


He loved going so fast
that everything went by in a blur.
It was such a blast
to have the wind race through his fur.

Speeding along was a thrill,
and always to win
with never a spill
produced such a big grin!

(The only trouble came when he forgot his mouth guard
and he’d get to the finish line with his tongue frozen hard
to his shoulder, which was always a pain,
and absolute agony til it thawed out again.)
