Sweet George was the inspiration for my character 'Reggie' in the McKenna and Riggs series. He was my constant companion for twelve years and he is dearly missed.
Here's to all pug lovers!!!
Meet Henry...my rescue kitty.
​
While driving along a winding coastal road one dark and stormy day I saw this kitten sitting on the edge of the lane.
The tires narrowly missed him! I turned around and stopped to pick him up. He was about four weeks old, wet and starving. He promptly bit my finger!
Of course I adopted him, happy to add Henry to my family.
He is often my writing companion as you can see!
