Welcome to Writers & Other Animals!
The idea for this blog has been romping around my brain for quite a while, and I'm wagging and purring (in a split-personality sort of way!) that it's finally coming to be. If you like to read about animals, I hope you will sign up to follow Writers & Other Animals, and share it with your like-minded friends.
Our regularly scheduled posts will begin on Monday, March 3, with new posts appearing every Monday. Come meet a variety or writers and books, poems, stories, essays....All sorts of writing and writers, some of which you may already know, and some of which may be new to you.
Like most blogs (and most writing!), this is a work in progress. If you have suggestions, please feel free to let me know, and I'll see what I can do. If you are interested in writing a post or in having your work featured, please begin with the information under the Submissions tab.
I would love to hear from you - you can comment after any post, or email me.
Read, write, play with animals!

Ten Things You Might Not Know About Sheila Boneham's Animals in Focus Mysteries
It's been a busy couple of weeks here in Animals in Focus Mystery Land. This morning I learned that Drop Dead on Recall, the first book in the series, has won this year's Maxwell Award for Fiction from the Dog Writers Association of America. The Money Bird, book #2, came out last September and has garnered excellent reviews, and book #3, Catwalk, is scheduled to be released September 2014. And

One Week In -- New Year's Goals Revisited
Here we are again - six days into another new year. I have a cheerful new date book in my computer bag (even though I mostly keep track electronically these days) and a brand new calendar on the fridge.

Ten Things You Might Not Know About Sheila Boneham's Animals in Focus
Mysteries
As I wrap up Catwalk, Animals in Focus Mystery #3 (to be released September 2014), it occurs to me that it might be fun to share a few tidbits about the books. (Don't worry if you haven't read them -- no spoilers here!). So here we go....
The people in the books are not real people. Yes, yes, you're sure that person belongs to your dog-training or cat-fanciers' club, but s/he doesn't. Really
