What inspired you to write your book? My wife Elaine breeds and raises German shorthaired pointers, which participate in hunt tests similar to those in the novel. I know the setting and the training techniques very well. The milieu seemed a perfect backdrop for a sequel to a very popular earlier novel in this series, The Deadly Dog Show. With Elaine's help with the technical parts and editing the book, it pretty much wrote itself. By an odd coincidence, Juliet and Romeo, the canine stars of the … [Read more...] about Hunter Down by Jerold Last

Join the Dance Book 2: The Dancing with Horses Trilogy by Toni Mari
