Countdown Reason # 4: “Look Who’s Reading Mom’s New Book!”

PostedFebruary 18, 2013

Ashlie reacing the last best cure — This is Ashlie, the first puppy dog my daughter rescued. She's always on my lap when I write.

My daughter took this photo. I just had to share it, just for fun. When she showed it to my husband, she said, smiling, “Dad, look who’s reading mom’s new book!” It made me smile.

I can’t believe that on Thursday — in just 4 days — THE LAST BEST CURE will be available everywhere.

Below, both of our dogs get in on the photo shoot!

ashlie and winnie — I think the dogs are asking: "Will you be reading THE LAST BEST CURE?" They are my writing companions, Ashlie on my lap, and Winnie, our other rescue dog, likes to curl up on my feet when I'm writing- she keeps my toes toasty warm!
