Yes, it's only the middle of March but after all, that is the month to "March Forward!" With that in mind, may I suggest putting Dogs Don't Talk on your to-read list as part of Autism Awareness Month? Not only is this novel about the McDowell's rescue dog Rosie, but Dogs Don't Talk tackles, as reviewer Jane Lynch wrote, "aspects of self-confidence, dealing with bullying, and not being afraid to be yourself."

Benjamin must tackle those issues as many teens do. But because his family won the "autism lottery", he gets embarrassed for standing out in ways he doesn't want. Dogs Don't Talk is a funny, yet warmhearted look at how autism effects a family.

Talking to Mark Palmer of InterMat Wrestling was a delight. Having come from a journalism background myself, it was interesting to be on the receiving end of an interview. Mark is not only a wrestling enthusiast and writer, but but a seasoned pro at interviews.
Enjoy!
