I’m a little late announcing this since I was hospitalized, but since I’m still here(ugh!), I have time to do it.
I’ve never done a book giveaway, but if you visit this link, they’ll walk you through it.
Giveaway dates:Oct 22 – Oct 30, 2017
Thanks from Martha and Henry!!

Dogged Hope 
WOW…Martha! Looks as if LOTS of folks want one….and that’s a good thing!
Yeah, this really surprised me since I hadn’t had a chance to send an announcement! These are folks who don’t even know me. That really lifted my spirits yesterday when I was waiting to be discharged from the hospital. Now I’m back with my animal family, and my husband, of course.
I’m about 3/4 of the way finished. Well done, my friend!! I should be posting a review on Goodreads, and Amazon if it will let me, by the weekend. I also intend to use it in a blog post in mid-November. It’s been fun getting to know you through our blogs, but now that I’ve read your book, it feels like we’ve been BFFs for the last decade. Cheers to you, Don, and Henry!
Thank you again for reading my book. And thank you in advance for posting reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. It truly means the world to me. Hearing “Well done” from you is quite a compliment because you’re a wonderful writer. Wow! You made my day.
And double thanks in advance for using it in a blog post mid-Nov. Book promo is so new to me. I self-published my first book in 2012 and didn’t do any PR. I wrote it as therapy for myself, and didn’t know any better. But for Giving Paws, I have a publisher, who is teaching me all about PR and marketing.
When I first read your blog earlier this year, I was comforted to find someone like me. As I read about your struggles and your courage, and saw what a great writer you were, I was inspired to continue living and writing. You were also very warm and receptive to my questions. I felt so blessed to have found you.
