I am so delighted! My first middle-grade Christian novel, Dare for a Dog, is up on Amazon in paperback and ebook! This started out years ago as a picture book with a simple climb up a tree story and kept getting longer and longer. Then I put it on the back burner while I wrote my Fairy Tale series for teens/adults. Now I'm focusing on MG again and went back to this story. Here is the description on Amazon:

All he really wanted to do was help the dog.

Taking dares was second nature for twelve-year-old Will. But he never thought a dare would lead him into the mess he's in now – a starving dog, a broken arm, a strained friendship. And what was so important in the abandoned town up the mountain? Then he realizes the mystery he's uncovering is much bigger than he thought and could end up very dangerous for both him and the dog he wants to help.

Dare for a Dog is an exciting read for ages 9-12 about a boy, a dog, friendship, and the importance of doing what's right even when it's hard.

And - icing on the cake - my talented son did the cover!
