COVER REVEAL: I AM SARGE, SECOND EDITION!

Two smiling boys:  our grandson
and Shadow cuddling

Today, I'm revealing the new cover for the second edition of I AM SARGE, Book 1 of THE DACHSHUND ESCAPADES series. This is THE book that started it all!  Sarge relates how he came
to be adopted into a busy pastor's family, on up through some of his first encounters with cats, his first time fishing with two interesting characters, and hilarious shenanigans--hence, the title of this series.

Has the story changed?  In a word, no.  There are some "tweaks" to make the story better, however, with added detail and richer description.

I AM SARGE will be released in paperback first (very soon, I promise), then followed by the Kindle version:

If you follow this blog or The Dachshund Escapades blog, my website (www.MavisDukeHinton.com), Facebook (www.facebook.com/mavisdukehintonsbooks), or Twitter (@writer4dawg), you already know that Sarge the dachshund "author" is based upon our "granddawg" Shadow, and the photos on the front of the cover are actually of Shadow himself.  The small photo on the back cover is of our doxie Duke.  Many of the stories in Sarge's books actually happened, so readers of the series will probably agree that "truth is stranger than fiction."

Next up on my publishing agenda is the second edition of I AM DACHSHUND, Book 2 of the series.  I already have the new cover completed, and I'm working my way through the manuscript to polish it up as well.  After that, (Lord willing) I plan to release Book 5, A DACHSHUND'S MERRY-GO-ROUND LIFE, this summer.

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em!
