Greetings from the Heart of Texas and welcome to my Web site.   Dog Nanny is available now. (See signing schedule below.) It's a romantic comedy about an Abilene doggy do-gooder who has one month to train two willful, Waco poodles and save them from becoming doggies of divorce. What she hasn't counted on is having to harness her desire for a tall, dark, and hunky pilot, who throws her into a tailspin. (Read an excerpt)   A portion of author proceeds will be donated to Waco's Animal Birth Control Clinic, 1531 Wooded Acres Drive; Waco, Texas, where you can also pick up autographed copies.   In Abilene books are available at Texas Star Trading, 174 Cypress.   Or if you don't live nearby and would like a personalized copy, you can use PayPal to order from the "Dog Nanny" tab above. ...News Upcoming Events & Book Signings Washington, D.C.
