'Fur' Better or Worse...Animals in our Lives

“AND THE AWARD FOR BEST DOG IN A SUPPORTING ROLE GOES TO…”

Jim and I are animal lovers. Dogs mainly now, because over the years I’ve become allergic to cats. Still, all animals have a warm spot in our hearts. Except snakes. But that’s a story for another day.

May McGoldrick liked Sylvia Hopkins-Harris's review of A Prince in the Pantry: "Exceptional! A novella, the story was complete and moving. I teared up and celebrated Pearl as Timour an unlikely hero saved her through watchful care. One night of changed identity and solicitude gained Timour a beautiful Pearl."
