Dawg Towne explores universal themes of love and loss through the deceptively simple lens of suburban life. But is life in the suburbs ever really simple? Over the course of one year in Towne, spouses die, children grow up, affairs begin and end, lies are repeatedly spoken, bad sex happens (good sex, less often), gender is questioned, and dogs go missing.

Many dogs.

Humorous and canine-centric, Dawg Towne is like Peyton Place re-written by Dorothy Parker and your friendly neighborhood veterinarian. And yes, this is work of fiction.

Advanced Praise for Dawg Towne:

"Dawg Towne yowls, bristles, romps, and all but licks your face, as vivacious as its characters, canine and otherwise. Alice Kaltman is one of those writers whose clear enjoyment of the task at hand beams through every phrase she makes." --Rachel Lyon, author of Self Portrait with Boy

"Dawg Towne is a wise, big-hearted portrait of a community undergoing a year of change. Whether it's a celebrity in exile, a widower, a young girl, or even the consciousness of the town of Towne itself, Kaltman approaches all of the characters in her ensemble cast with empathy while refusing to hide their many foibles. Like the lost canines of Towne, you'll hope these lovable stray souls are found."
--Leland Cheuk, author of No Good Very Bad Asian

"Alice Kaltman's Dawg Towne is a wonder. I consumed this novel the way I read as a child: devouring, delighting, desiring nothing but to get in one more chapter before bed. Why can't every book be like this one? -- Funny, profound, beautiful, fun, and brimming with truths about what it means to be a person in the world. Enter Dawg Towne and encounter a cast of characters -- both human and canine -- that you won't soon forget." --Amy Shearn, author of Unseen City

As a young girl I longed to be a mermaid. My idol sat demurely on the Chicken of the Sea tuna fish cans. I peeled labels off to save her image. Every night before bedtime I squeezed both legs in to one side of my pajama bottoms and shuffled around the house pretending I was as beautiful as the tuna fish mermaid.

To this day, I’m most at home when upside down and underwater. I’ve been swimming my entire life, and surfing for the better part of adulthood. It’s no surprise my two novels are totally ocean-centric. "Saving Grace" is about a mermaid, and "Wavehouse" is about a surfer. And I guess they’re both about me, too.

My short fiction (for adults) takes place on land, sea, and air. I’m thrilled that "Staggerwing", a collection of my favorites, is available here on Amazon and everywhere else books are sold.

These days I split my time between Brooklyn and Montauk, New York where I wear my pajamas regular style. But if too much time passes without a swim or a surf, I’m tempted to revisit my childhood shenanigans. Wouldn’t it be fun to flip-flop about like a fish out of water or a beached mermaid, restless and hungry for the incoming tide?
