Well I'm going to pick up my copy the way we mortals do Becke by walking into B&N and sliding the debit card across the counter. But I did enter the contest with my grand-dog Roxie. What a great cause and check out the cute pictures on Michelle's blog of all the contestants my Roxie is there all dressed up in her frog costume for Halloween.

Hi, Everyone
The June Reader/Writer Get-together is right around the corner and I cannot wait to see everyone again and get my hands on Tails of Love. What a fun story to write with so many other animal-lover authors. And the AAF is a terrific shelter! We are lucky to have them in the Cincinnati area.
The stories in TOL are all so different. I took this as a chance to try my hand at paranormal...sort of. 
Got to try something different once in a while.
Thanks for all the wonderful comments here.
Hugs, Dianne
Dianne - Great to see you here! Dianne is a great author AND she's in my RWA chapter -- we're practically neighbors! Here are some of her books:
Since I'm finally here (what a long time I took to figure out how to register
I have other comments to make about the book, TAILS OF LOVE, the authors, they're all wonderful, and why this is so important to me.
We often hear folks say that the love of an animal is unconditional--we take the words for granted--but they are absolutely true. All the time I'm here in my office writing, my dog and cat are around, staring, batting, telling me not too quietly, that they'd really like for me to give them a cuddle. Or a treat!
At the moment I'm on the hunt for a second dog so I visit the Humane Society blog every day and make myself thoroughly miserable. I can't take all 197 cats available, or the rows and rows of dogs. so I just keep hoping everyone who visits will take at least one and that'll solve the problem.
The dog looking up at me now is very small (first small dog I've ever had) and a bit insecure, so, as I search the notes on available buddies for her I have to make sure I find a friend who will fit with her, and her with her See a pattern there? I'm also conscious of making sure there isn't a dominance issue.
Yesterday I got so excited because I thought I'd found the right little one--she was adopted by the time I got there but the family with her looked so thrilled that I felt almost as happy as they did. And I'll keep on going until I get someone else settled in.
Something I worry about are all the very elderly cats up for adoption. Their photos don't show neglected, straggly pets, but pets I think may have suddenly been left as orphans by someone who loved them so much. It would be a hard thing to do but I wonder about getting to a point where one could take in a really old cat just to give him/her a lap, a warm spot in a comfy bed and a lot of love for as long as they have left. I'm talking about 17 and 18 year old cats here. A cat of 10 may have many good years ahead.
I guess my message is, don't be afraid to adopt an older animal because every good day they have is a long time in their lives.
A KNOTTY TAIL is my story in TAILS OF LOVE. Madeleine and Dickens are brother and sister part Jack Russel terriers and they haven't had a lot of luck. Times being as tough as they are, their second family has to move to find work and they can't afford to take the duo. Along comes Rose Gibbs, a dog novice with a soft heart, and she's giving adoption a good try. However, Madeleine and Dickens are a lot worried they'll do something wrong and get kicked out again--maybe for the last time.
Clawdia, a most exceptional and elegant feline lives across the lane from the dogs and Rose, with Simon, a cartoonist of great skill but a little hesitancy on the dating front. Clawdia is sick of Simon's bad moods and she knows who he's watching from afar, and wanting from just as far.
Do you think a very superior cat and a couple of sincere mutts could do something to improve their owners' lives--a lot?
Happy reading,
Stella
