Dog loves half-price rom com sooooo much, he sticks its cover to the side of his vintage car...


Oh, dear - more Photoshop Procrastination - this time, the book cover is so small in the overall picture it doesn't really show up and do its job - even so, I like the idea of my book cover being on the side of a vintage car. My ambition used to be to see my book on a big poster on a railway station, but I'm veering towards the vintage car thing now...

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?

There was an old Corgi who lived in a shoe. She had a lot of puppies...

There was an old Corgi...
who lived in a shoe.
She had a lot of puppies
- woohoo!
She taught them all to play
and revel in the light.
So they laughed all day
and slept all night.

Corgi dogs going on holiday in a caravan greeting cards

Some of my new cards - from a watercolor painting titled: They were off on their holidays (and woofing from the back: "Are we nearly there yet, Dad???")

This could also be used as a moving home card.

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.)

And some more OlympiCorgi Games - the sprinters, the a-bounce-a-day-club and volley ball

The sprinters
(thundering along, thunder, thunder...)

A bounce a day
(keeps the doctor away)

Trying hard not to use teeth...
(It would be so much easier to just snatch the thing out of the air!)

And some more OlympiCorgi Games - skiing, sledding, whaddya mean somersaulting isn't an Olympic sport? and then there's Taekwondog...

It was just him and the snow (and his thoughts).

He was a speed fiend

She greeted every morning with a somersault

Taekwondog(Uh - these Corgis are playing - no Corgis were harmed in the creation of this pic.) (jus sayin)

And yet more OlympiCorgi Games - rowing, sack racing (well - it should be an Olympic sport), sailing, and the shot put - of course.

Victory gestures ain't what they used to be...

Yeah - we know sack racing isn't part of the Olympics - but it should be!!! Yeah!

Oh, for a life on the Ocean Wave...

Like an eagle caged I pine, on this dull unchanging shore.
Oh give me the flashing brine! The spray and the tempest roar!
(...at least until that cold and wet old rain does pour...)

A life on the ocean wave! A home on the rolling deep!
Where the scattered waters rave, and the winds their revels keep!
(...which is all well and fine until they disturb my sleep...)

(Jus' sayin')

Putting the shot where it needs to go.
(And he always resisted taking it in his mouth and simply running off with it. What a good OlympiCorgi!!!)

More OlympiCorgi Games - fencing, high jump, pair skating, mutt lifting...

Avast! Have at ye!
Ack! Ya got me!
(These are all technical terms. Natch.)

She'd looked everywhere for that frisbee, and couldn't see it from this angle either.
They were in a world of their own...

Mutt lifting

The OlympiCorgi Games - archery, artistic dognastics, basket ball, bowls - why aren't bowls part of these Olympics? Grrr

(Nice grouping!!!)
(Bone targets were his specialty.)

The artistic dognastics

Basket ball for the OlympiCorgis never really took off...

There's nothing like a serene afternoon of bowls on the green. The OlympiCorgis take their bowls very seriously indeed and simply can't understand why their sport isn't in the Olympics this year. (grrrrrrr)

This Welsh Corgi dog had an affinity with water...


He had an affinity with water

...but while his pals were all jumping into puddles, splashing about and then leaping into the back of their hoomuns' cars, he was out there with his spanners and other plumber-type-tools, thinking how much he was going to increase his call-out rate this time...

Corgi dogs make up a fur tree for Christmas



Of course, it takes some dexterity and sense of balance, but as long as not too much spirit of the season has gone down, then Corgis are your dogs for such athleticism. Oh, yes!
