I'm a writer. After years in marketing and advertising, I now write stories for myself - some are fictional; some are memoirs for family and friends.
Last year, I self-published a short tale, "Tao of Ruby", the story of my friend Davy's 17 year-old Parson Jack Russell terrier. The inspiration came when I received a heartwrenching e-mail from him telling of her passing (or so he thought at the time). It was so full of raw emotion that I decided to create a memoir for him immortalizing Ruby's glorious life.
I began editing his story when I received a second e-mail from Davy announcing, "Miracle of miracles...she's ALIVE!" Crying and laughing, we spoke and I shared my idea with him. He loved it, especially since Ruby was approaching her 18th birthday. He sent me photos and I began creating the book of her life. It was completed six weeks before Ruby's beautiful spirit left this earth. Davy loved it - especially with his name listed as the author. Afterall, it's his story.
"Tao of Ruby" can be viewed and purchased at the Blurb bookstore - just click on the Blurb link.
