I've submitted my book Building Character with Sam, Izzy, and Many Other Dogs for the 19th Annual Writer's Digest International Self-Published Book Awards.

Please wish me and my book good luck!

I hope to win the Children's/Picture books award.

The Read-Along C.D. is here!

Hello friends --

My children's book, "Building Character with Sam, Izzy, & Many Other Dogs" now has a Read-Along Audio C.D. for children!

Check it out here:



And if you don't have the book already -- get it here:

The Audio C.D.

I received my proof copy of “Building Character with Sam, Izzy, and Many Other Dogs” [Audio C.D.] today! It sounds awesome!

I’m so grateful for the voice actress Jennifer Harvey for reading the book aloud.
I designed the little booklet that goes in the C.D. case.

The C.D. is now pending and should be eligible for sell on Amazon.com really soon.
As soon as it is available I’m going to mail out copies to the people who had pledged $50 or more for this project!

And if you haven't ordered your copy of the book yet -- you can go ahead and get it today at this amazon link... even if it is 2:00 a.m. in the morning. Anytime.
Get it here:

Yours,
Danny.

Dogs are loyal.

Dogs have many positive character traits.

Here is an example of a Loyal Dog.

And if you've not done so already -- get my children's book that uses pictures of cute dogs (and some cats) to teach children how to be more caring and compassionate people.
