Help Toby the Schnauzer

Please help our schnauzer Toby.  As I write, poor Toby is staying at the animal hospital away from home.  The other morning he began vomiting and we noticed bright blood in his stool.  For a mini-schnauzer who likes to bark at everything, Toby was extremely quiet and down.  We rushed him to the vet and were told he may have hematochezia.  For our baby to receive IV treatment and stay overnights, it will be $500 or more just for 3 days.  We reluctantly left Toby with the vet and encouraged him to get better.  Back at home, our kids assured us all they want for Christmas is Toby’s wellness.

Meanwhile, Toby’s sister Jojo is missing a fond playmate.  Strangely enough, it was the Toby and Jojo pair that had inspired me to write and publish an ebook.  “The Far-Fetched Adventures of Jojo” is available through Amazon for only $1.99.  Every profit made will go directly to help Toby.  Every purchase made will promote the book on the Amazon site.  Even if you’re not sure about buying, you can still preview a portion of the book.

Toby is the black and white schnauzer and Jojo is the pure white.  Our Toby has been a wonderful companion for six years, and we hope for many more.  Our children are praying and waiting intently for the best, and so are we.

New Children's Book by T. William Watts

Visit Kindle ebooks today. The Far-Fetched Adventures of Jojo will be available tomorrow 11/13 for Kindle or other devices.  

In this humorous children's book, a girl named Holly questions Father on the outrageous adventures of their pet miniature schnauzer, Jojo.  Father always has a creative explanation, but each explanation leads to a wilder tale.

If you own any kind of animal that shows personality, you'll love this book.  Or if you're a kid of any age that loves a great, barely believable bed-time story, get cozy with Jojo.

Where Have All the Gnomes Gone?

How do you weave a gnome into an epic fantasy?  What?  You could never picture your neighbor's garden gnome taking off on a quest to the fires of
Mordor?

Then again, there are some admirable attributes that hold enough potential to capture us, even if we have been scarred by some childhood incident in the garden.

 Not too long ago, Gnomeo and Juliet made it to the theaters, proving that gnomes hold an audience even in the 21st century.  The film based its storyline on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet - with ceramic gnomes and deadly lawnmowers.

 So what is it that gnomes have?  As an author and reader, I determined
to seek out the desirable. 
1) A bond with nature. 
2) Amazing strength for its size. 
3) Pugliness (that cute/ugly look in a pug puppy.) 
4) Humanoid traits
5} Stealthiness

That last one - stealth - I drew heavily on, departing from the red-capped goony smile.  Track the gnomus furtivus, or stealthy gnome.  If you can.  These are more cunning, more fierce, and more elusive than that colorful ceramic you stubbed your toe on the other day.  Now take the tree-tending gnome.  Guardians of enchanted trees, their trees in turn stand guard a deeper mystery.

"The infamous gnomus furtivus
Stands guard the way to Elemdray,
They whisper, 'You've never heard of us.
We toil to keep it that way.
Only in dreams, or blue-jean seams,
Our knives and hooks find hidden crooks.'" *

In the fantasy world of Elemdray, the gnome is set apart in its own realm.  Adventure, romance, humor, and an epic plot find a natural flow.  Find out if the gnome captures you in the first of the series, A Hummen in Spiral Gorge.



* This verse is not in the first book, but you will find plenty of others.
