(Going to the Dogs #1:) Leashed: Est. page #: 79
Leashed (Going to the Dogs, #1)First book in the Going to the Dog series and is a short novella at 26,000 words.

Jack has some ‘splainin’ to do!

That's right! Callie Lassiter's normally well-behaved Great Dane Jack has run off and done the wild thing with the neighbor's dog. It must be puppy love! It's doubly embarrassing since she's a professional dog trainer. Of course, the neighbor would have to be hot, hot nightclub owner bad boy Owen McKay, just the kind of man Callie is determined to avoid.

Owen’s comfortable with his playboy status and the hype in the media. But the ground moves beneath his feet when he gets an eyeful of the girl next door. The Dog Whisperer never looked this good! How can he convince this wholesome honey that his player days are behind him? Maybe Jill, his Great Dane can help him with this dilemma now that she’s pregnant and Callie’s dog is to blame.

Is this bad boy a bad bet?

Can a dog have a bad hair day?

Brooke Palmer owns Pawlish, an exclusive doggie spa and grooming business in upper Manhattan, but when a client’s champion poodle gets a bad poodle cut and has to undergo therapy to recover, the client sues. The lawyer they send is drop dead gorgeous, but Brooke won't be wooed by a corporate shark in a sharp suit.

Corporate lawyer Drew Hudson has better things to do then take on this ridiculous lawsuit, but since he works for the client’s husband, he has no choice. After meeting the beautiful, sweet-tempered owner, he can’t keep his mind on the silly case. But when the client turns up dog gone dead, Brooke may be a conflict of interest when she’s charged with the murder. All Drew wants to do is prove that this sexy entrepreneur is not dangerous, except to his heart.

Can she take a chance on him?

Author Interview:



  1. Where do you write?
I work from my computer at home and once a week I write with a friend at Panera.
  1. Are your characters fictional or from real life?
Totally fictional. It's fun to make stuff up.
  1. If you could be any fictional character, who would you be and why?
Joan from Romancing the Stone. That was one fun adventure!
  1. When did you first realize that you wanted to write?
I started writing poetry when I was young, but it wasn’t until I was looking for some suspense stories that I realized that I wanted to write them.
  1. Do you have a writing ritual?
I always write a synopsis now. Always. I get into too much trouble if I don’t. I always write the blurb first to get down my ideas. It’s like a snapshot of the story.
  1. If you could pick three fictional characters to have dinner with who would they be?
Snape. I knew he wasn’t a bad guy; Howl from Howl’s Moving Castle, he’s so darn cute, and Ironman—I don’t think I have to explain why ;-)
  1. Do you have an author or authors that you look up to or are inspired or amazed by?
Yes, Gail Barrett who is my critique partner. She is an amazing writer and is great at brainstorming and Sarra Cannon who has inspired me and supported me in my self-publishing journey. She’s also a fabulous author!
