Hi Valerie,

That email must have gone to the great cyberspace mystery area 51--the last I'd heard you weren't able to get the second book! Yes, Sandi and I found a copy of that one eventually. smile.

I'm so glad you like them too--I totally agree, they are really good books! In an interview I read, the author described how he spent anywhere from a year to eighteen months researching the details for each book, to make sure they were accurate. He based each book on compilations of experiences that he discovered really happened, so the animal star in each book is sort of a amalgam of things that really happened.

Two of the books, "Frog: The Horse that Knew No Master" and "Jerry: The Adventures of an Army Dog," are the actual adventures, fictionalized, of a real U.S. Army Cavalry charger and a dog a US Army unit adopted who was officially awarded the rank of sergeant for his actions in assisting soldiers on duty.

I looked through some of the book titles and I know Sandi Ryan and BookMouse showed up on several I checked. I scanned one that Doug proofed and had scanned another, but Judy never let me know she was ready for it (my bad, though; I only emailed her once and it was when Nichole was sick, and I never followed through) so I think she and Sandi did it. They are really good books!
