My Book-in-Progress…and Dog Treats

Hi, everyone.

I’m still writing my book, The Galdur Snow Dog. For those of you who are just reading this blog, it’s a middle-grade book about a special breed of dog from the fictional island Galdur. They have magical traits, such as:

Sneezing colors into the snow

Running across water

Smelling like vanilla peppermint

Did I mention their fur has out-of-this-world colors? Some of the Snow Dogs are blue-and-silver while the others are red-and-white with gold glitters.

Every good story has a problem. In this case, a Snow Dog puppy named Joy and her siblings get kidnapped by humans and sold to a family. The family treats them well, though, and they become sled dogs. But the dogs come across more problems. They deal with a persnickety apothecary lady, a fae who seems to have stolen the human daughter’s heart, and a loss of something vital to them: jolenberries. They must get more berries, for without them, they will turn into leafless, spindly shrubs, and that is not a metaphor. Joy, as an adult, plays a key role in her pack’s rescue, which I won’t give away here. Ha ha.

Every protagonist has a weakness, right? Well, Joy is notorious for self-indulgence, including gorging on sweets. Even though I may be enabling her addiction, here are videos featuring dog-friendly desserts that she would approve! And since Snow Dogs are similar to huskies and malamutes, these videos feature these dogs.
