Angel Someone: How I lost my Dog and Found Compassion

Angel Someone is now on Kindle

Kindle is fast becoming the reader’s tool of choice for purchasing and enjoying all kinds of reading material from the classics to contemporary literature to magazines. My novella, “Angel Someone” is now available for immediate download from Amazon to your Kindle or through the Kindle app on your Mac or PC.

“Angel Someone” is a uniquely-told story about the love of a pet even after they’re gone, and the emotional impact such a loss carries. If you are looking for a contemporary, thought-provoking book for someone who has just lost a pet, “Angel Someone” will comfort them.

“I finally finished reading ‘Angel Someone’ this afternoon,” writes Gail Snyder, writer and editor of Not Drowning, Waving. “I downloaded it but couldn’t get very far without completely breaking down bawling, waiting for a time when I could manage to dive back down into this grief. So much has happened this year . . . I’ve been letting go of people, resentments, guilt and anger, and I’ve so much needed to cry, but somehow not allowing myself to. ‘Angel Someone’ gave me that opportunity, finally. It’s so beautifully written, so honest and real. I loved it. Here’s to feeling all of our feelings, no matter what.”
