Darla June: “Tails from the family dog”

About the Book

If you have ever wondered what your dog is thinking or how they are feeling, Darla June takes you behind the dog house. In this story, she brings you along on her journey as she remembers it. From the first time she was scared and hungry to the last time she would ever be either of those things. Her innocent interpretation of, what she calls, “humans”, shines a light on the world through the sweet and hopeful eyes of a rescue. I think we can all agree that rescues love their “humans” differently. Knowing Darla June’s story now, I can’t imagine how she stayed the sweetest most gentle love bug on earth! All I know is that my husband (along with a long list of others) are lucky to have found her. She has brought more love and pure joy into our lives than we could have ever imagined! And all she asks for in return? Peanut butter. Lots of it. You’ll see why.

About the Author

I grew up in Andover, Massachusetts. A wonderful New England town where I could enjoy my youth to the fullest! My childhood home was steps away from miles of protected trails where along with the neighborhood kids, we would disappear and explore until dark. It was a much different world back then. I was fortunate to grow up in a time when our biggest worry was missing curfew. I always had an itch to explore more and to move away from what was always the protective bubble of home. As soon as I finished high school and was accepted to college in New Hampshire, I headed out and never looked back. Early during my college days I realized school wasn't the right fit. Sitting idle in classes while the real world was just beyond my reach, was a hard concept for me to tune out. So, I decided to take a chance and begin exploring on my own terms. After working in Corporate America for more than 20 years, I came to yet another realization, I needed to explore more! That feeling led me here. Sitting down and writing stories, whether they are mysteries or for children, the whole writing process is a blast! Even though I didn’t begin this journey with the intention of sharing my stories, with some gentle encouragement from my wonderful friends and family, I decided to give it a shot. My husband takes the gold medal of being my real motivator. He’s the coolest, most honorable and supportive man I've ever known. Our dog, Darla June completes our family unit and our hearts, as you will see in this book.
