More About the Author

I have been writing since I was nine years old.
Here is one of my first works, one my father has memorized.
It's a poem.

FEET

"Feet are neat.
They are neat
Because they are feet."

I hope I've improved since then.

For the last thirteen years I have been writing about pets, kids, health, and humor.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed - very basic, September 6, 2005

This review is from: The Dog Lover's Book of Crafts: 50 Home Decorations That Celebrate Man's Best Friend (Paperback)

I was very disappointed in this book. The ideas were extremely basic. You often needed existing dog embellishments and items. The instructions were not detailed. ie. Get an plain picture frame, paint it, glue on dog buttons (that you had bought). Very little imagination or original ideas. The drawings to be used as templates were poor quality. Gave the book away after looking at it for less than 1/2 hour.

I thought this would be a neat book to have so that I can give gifts to all my family & friends who have dogs. Well, the crafts in this book are somewhat child like and not at all what I would give as a gift. So, I gave the book to my friends daughter.
