Love That Dog, Hate That Cat

Occasionally - no, often - in the blur of everyday normal chaos, things are forgotten.  I don't have to explain; you know how it is - birthdays, keys, appointments, gloves, notes, watch, phone.

And when you are writing a novel, you are trying to keep a thousand other details in your head - details of plot and character and setting and dialogue, of structure and tone and style. And then as the book nears publication, you are trying to retain details about book jackets and flap copy and marketing and promotion. All good stuff.

But sometimes you forget some of that good stuff.  Yesterday I came across a terrific teaching guide for Love That Dog and Hate That Cat. 

Here is where I found it:  Love That Dog and Hate That Cat Teaching Guide 

It has probably been there a couple years, and I had forgotten all about it. Great surprise!

So if you're a teacher or librarian or reader, you might want to hop over there and take a look or download a copy.  Free.

Cool, mm?  Love that publisher.

Love That Dog, Hate That Cat

Thanks to Jenny Brown, who interviewed me and my editor, Joanna Cotler, a few weeks ago in New York City. The clip below is pretty typical of how we interact. (I notice I say, "Right. . ." a lot. That's because she is right.) I am not eloquent, alas.

Note: The opening minute repeats opening for interview about UNFINISHED ANGEL, then it quickly moves to LOVE THAT DOG and HATE THAT CAT.
