The next time I went in to browse through the newest trends at Sound Styles, Shelly was working, and I shared the exchange with her. She was sold! I was invited to be the featured Literary Artist at Art Walk for June 17th and Art View for the month of June 2021! And yes! Shelly would create a special Window Display to celebrate Dog-Walking Fashion!
I am making quite a celebration for this exciting project. My Tall Tales illustrator, artist Scott Ward, created a giclée of the two-page spread, “Dogs on Parade,” from the featured book, A Tall Tale About Dachshunds in Costumes: How MORE Dogs Came to Be. It will be on view in the display and there will be a drawing for it on July 11th.
The Tall Tale book featured in the Window Display will be available for purchase at our two local indie bookshops: Edmonds Bookshop and The Neverending Bookshop.
For their virtual story time, “Tails and Tales,” the Audrey Pack Memorial Library in Spring City, Tennessee, invited a dachshund owner and creator of the Facebook page, “Adventures of Woody and Hazel,” Kimberly Metcalf in Longview, Texas, to read my first book, How Dachshunds Came to Be. The story time will air on Wednesday, June 16th at 11 a.m. PDT. A replay will be available on my social media and website.
I’ll soon give you more backstory for these last two “live” gems!
Please join me in this dizzying whirlwind of events over the next several weeks!
