    			  This story is truly a modern day romance. I'm hesitant to say too much for fear of letting loose a spoiler.  Our &quot;hero&quot;, a mall security guard, catches our &quot;heroine&quot; shoplifting and their encounters and developing relationship is captured through his journal entries.<br/><br/>I couldn't stop reading, I just kept going until I finished their tale.  Full of little surprises and twists - Dan kept me reading of this seemingly normal guy till there was nothing left to read.<br/><br/>Great job Dan, I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.

<span id="freeTextreview_rating67327590" style="display:none" class="reviewText">This is my book and I enjoyed writing something that came so naturally.  For years I worked on a Sci/Fi novel and loved the relationships that had been built in that far-away land but I was shocked when I started this series and discovered that this is really what I was meant to write!  This little girl became what I used to be, in some ways anyway!  Since my family just got our two new puppies (although not adopted because of my husbands fierce allergy to dogs) it was easy to put the two together to create this story.  <br/><br/>Joanie is a fiesty, fun little girl who gets a wish come true, times two then she gets to select two puppies for her birthday!  She quickly finds out that raising puppies isn't that easy and that she has to learn how to be responsible very quickly! <br/><br/>This is the first in the Joanie Adventure series and sets up the remaining books.  Joanies father accepts a new position as a travel reporter which requires him to take the family, and the puppies, with him on the road!  Trouble is sure to follow!  <br/><br/>In the next book &quot;A for Ar-e-zone-e-a&quot; the family takes on the state of Arizona.  The readers will laugh as the puppies find trouble! Joanie will make sure that the readers also learn something fun about the state! <br/><br/>This first sweet story is a great chapter book to take home to your child.  Watch their eyes light up with stories of the silly puppies and laugh alone with the situations the parents encounter that any parent can relate to!  <br/><br/>  <br/>&quot;Joanie Adventure: Picking up Puppies&quot; is now available on Amazon Kindle!  You can also find it on ireadiwrite.  <br/><br/>I hope you'll read it to your children and let me know what they think!<br/><br/>Colleen Dougherty, Author of the Joanie Adventure series<a href="#" onclick="Element.hide('freeTextreview_rating67327590'); Element.show('freeTextContainerreview_rating67327590'); return false;">(less)</a></span>

  	<br/><br/>				
  	I agree Scott.  Funny things we are - needing to categorize our lives, books, people, etc???  While sci-fi is my personal favorite genre, it can scare some readers off, thinking that they're about to read Star Wars or something.<br/><br/>Given your lead characters and the situation they're in, your book has a strong appeal to women I believe, which is one reason I also categorized it as women's fiction. <br/><br/>Any other commentators on what kind of genre Scott's book might fall into?<br/>Michelle
