“Our journey is about being more deeply involved in Life and yet less attached...

As a dedicated student of life, society, and culture, writing is a fascinating form of meditation―a way to connect more deeply with the complexities of the human condition.

I like to tackle book topics that illuminate the most daunting and intriguing aspects of life. Happy Truth: Last Dogs Aren’t Always Last, for instance, is a memoir that explores the many joys of caring for beloved pets versus the difficult of losing them, but finally, deciding to love again. Another pet is waiting for a good home. And they might be waiting for you.

“Sifting through the world of literature to share the resonance that others have felt for animals throughout the ages, we learn that the author is a keen observer of social intelligence and the best sort of human who is grateful for the magic, warmth, and happiness of animals.” ― Jacqueline Sheehan, NYT bestselling novelist
