More About the Author
Award-winning author Sheila W. Boneham has been writing and playing with furry and feathered friends since before she can remember. She grew up with a wide variety of animals, including Chihuahuas, a Scottish Deerhound, a rescued Irish Wolfhound, two Miniature Schnauzers, a number of mixed breed dogs, cats of many colors, horses, birds, and a couple of hamsters. As an adult she has added Australian Shepherds and Labrador Retrievers to her "life list." In addition to her own dogs, Sheila has fostered many rescued dogs and a few cats, and helped found two rescue programs. A strong advocate of responsible breeding as well, Sheila has bred highly successful Australian Shepherds under the kennel name "Perennial." Sheila trains and competes in several canine sports, and her dogs have also served as therapy dogs in schools, hospitals, libraries, and nursing homes. Teddy, Jay, and Lily have even modeled for commercial products and for art classes and workshops.
Several of Sheila's books have been named best in their categories by the Dog Writers Association of America and the Cat Writers Association. Sheila's first fiction publication, a short mystery featuring - you guessed it, a dog! - appears in Racing Can Be Murder, an anthology published by Speed City Sisters in Crime.
Sheila Boneham holds a doctorate in folklore from Indiana University, and taught for some 20 years at universities in the U.S. and Middle East (and yes, she brought a dog home from one of her overseas jaunts). She currently teaches classes and workshops on writing and on pet ownership and rescue.
