I've been asked repeatedly if the wolf-dog, Ring, in my stories is based in any way on a real animal from my past.  I will say that, while I do have a great imagination and am fond of story-telling, Ring did in fact exist as did Honey Gal and a great many of the other animals in my books.  While I do take liberty to stretch the truth (they obviously didn't really talk to me), the stories are based in some truth, with just a tad bit of yarn thrown in for fun.  However, to this day, I hold to my guns that some dogs, just like Ring, can smile and laugh at a person when the situation calls for it.

Book four in the "Wolf" series is due out any day now.  It's entitled "Dub's Misadventures" and if you've been following the books, I'm sure you will not be disappointed by Dub's continued adventures with his animal friends, including his wolf-dog and his horse.  Also, for anyone who is on Goodreads, I am now an official Goodreads author.  Check out the books on Goodreads and follow me as I continue to tell the tale of the Wolf called Ring.
