The Legend of Ghost Dog Island
Moving is nothing new for ten-year-old Nikki Landry. Her
fisherman father relocates their raggedy old houseboat several times a year in
search of better crab fishing spots. However, their latest move has brought her
to a mysterious bayou, where she feels like something is watching her from a
nearby island. But when Papa tells her about a local legend that something
sinister might be living nearby and stealing the souls of dogs, she fears for
her beloved beagle’s life. Join Nikki as she seeks to discover the truth behind
the legend…before it’s too late.

Thanks for having me, Tim!

ReplyDeleteRita, I haven't had a chance to read your book yet, but after viewing your introductory piece on YouTube, I can't wait to get my hands on it. It sounds deliciously scary. Congratulations on getting your book up and running.

Looks like an interesting storyline. I'd be crushed if anyone stole my dogs' soles.
