A Russian dog? I thought you were a cat person

Regis is an American mutt. Be honest, is that not just the most perfect idea for a book ever? On the surface it's light and fun but there's deeper issues represented. Like Star Trek TOS but with less sex with aliens.

I love animals in general, except birds, I just only own a cat. Plus if it was Gizmo he'd spend the entire book murdering things for fun. Hmmm, maybe he can have a cameo. See, it practically writes itself. It's genius.

Your 9/11 project is important but it's not a fun subject. People like fun and people like dogs and people like space pirates. In fact, maybe there's a 9/11 parallel in The Loneliest Dog. Damn, this book is going to finish itself in no time at this rate.

Good to know! What does it sound like?

I don't know how to describe it, but it's certainly verbose ;)

I'm not aware of American dogs in space yet. The idea sounds like a children's book. So far I'm not interested at all. If you had a good opening hook to convince me to read further, and continued with a worthy and satisfying story, then I can change my tune.

You drunk?

Yes, I get verbose here, in order to be as clear as possible. I aim to keep my videos as short as possible. The 9/11 video(s) should be 9:11.

What's wrong with children's books?

You drunk?

Not yet but it's a fantastic idea.

What's wrong with children's books?

Nothing. I have a few I'd like to write and illustrate. I know for a fact it's a VERY difficult market and not as easy as you'd think. Mostly due to everything but the actual book and its content.
