Abbey, my beloved cocker spaniel who died from sudden onset of hemolytic anemia, was the inspiration for the picture story books. All of the illustration in the books are created by me using actual pictures of the kids and their own surroundings I never tire of writing, painting or doing illustration of animals but "The Special Kids of Sharon" are my favorite bunch. They are real puppy dogs who are next door neighbors. There are three books in the series "The Wagon" published "The Monster" published "The Rainy Day" in edit And my very Special Book Abbey and Jakey A true story about my two very special cocker spaniels. An inspirational story and incredible story about Abbey and how Jakey came into my life because it was meant to be. Some believe it to be no more then coincidental but some will see, as I do.  There is greater being and when you believe and are in need, anything can and does happen.   As you read the story, you too can decided for yourself.  Abbey, Jakey and I know, it was meant to be and feel blessed everyday. "JAKEY"  has his own book called Jakey's Happy Tale which is includes in the  Abbey and Jakey Book  This is a cute story told by Jakey along with pictures of his first days when he finally came home where he belongs forever.
