Book Signing in NOLA!

On September 30th we will be at the "FurBall" Charity event at the Republic on S. Peters St, in New Orleans. This event is a fundraiser for a group of independent animal rescuers that are working wonders in New Orleans.

About a year ago they rescued a little Shiba girl from a local area shelter. She had many health issues, and had badly disfigured knees, needing double knee surgery. We were able to secure a discount with a surgeon that this group works with; we found her a great foster home and raised almost enough money for her surgery. The happy ending is that she was adopted by her foster family; she recovered beautifully from her knee surgery and is doing very well.

But she is one dog...there are many more, unfortunately. Including another Shiba girl, Takara, that needs the same surgery! She is still in their care, but will need a forever-home once her surgery is done. But the surgery can't be done without MONEY.

So come out Republic on S. Peters St., in the Warehouse District, on September 30th - 6:30-9:30.

Half of the proceeds from sales that night will go to this Organization!!
Kellie, the Illustrator will be there as well.
Because this is a human only event, Turbeaux can't attend, but he will be there in spirit.
