Hi Karla! Thanks for writing!
I'm so glad you like the Fido stories. I hoped you would!
100 times? Holy hamster! That's more times than I've read them!
I'll keep writing so you have more to read. ;-)

Hello Raisa!
I just came across this, only one year after you posted it. It's not attached to a particular title, so I don't know which book you're referring to, but, no matter, I am so incredibly and sincerely honored that you read it over and over in your new school. Moving is hard. I did it, too, at 14, from my snug Indiana small town to a remote cluster of mobile homes in the Arizona desert. Books were a solace to me then more than ever. Coincidentally, I also became a librarian. I wrote my first three books in the public library where I worked (in AZ), after hours, on their computers. So I'm further honored to be honored by a Librarian, most revered member of society.
Let me know which book and I'll tell you the inspiration. And thank you so much for reaching out and making my day.

I do something else for a while. I work on another story. I ride my bike. I listen to music.

The first book in a new series named Petopia. It's a spin-off of the Guinea Dog series, and concerns the mysterious, disappearing pet shop where Fido the "guinea dog" was purchased. In each book, Petopia will appear in a new town, and a kid will obtain from it a strange animal. The first book is entitled The Fur Flies.
