The Molly Chronicles

Well hello again,
You're probably wondering how my human is doing with her new novel. Yes, she's working on the sequel to Temporary Address. She said she was going to post excerpts on her blog, and she will. But for now she is just writing junk. You see she entered NaNoWriMo. It's a challenge to see if you can write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. And for now, she's going for quantity and not quality.
She did promise that she would include a dog character or maybe even two in the book. And she's even going to include a publicist dog named Molly. I feel honored. But after all the work I've done, it's only fair. Molly won't appear until the second half of the book, she says. Anyway, she'll probably have something to share with you in December, so please be as patient as a border collie.
Did I tell you about the French rolls incident? Well it's not important, and besides, it wasn't my fault.

Wags and licks to you all,
Molly the collie

Hey, ho, this is Molly the dog, coming to you live from dog park where I'm interviewing the average dog on the street. Most dogs have read the new best-selling book, TEMPORARY ADDRESS and, so far, the reaction has been extraordinary:

A great read. it had me barking with excitement. I recommend TEMPORARY ADDRESS to all canines and humans who appreciate good literature.

Pugnacious. Captivating. Better than a squirrel in a garbage can.

Riveting. The only things missing were gophers and bacon snacks. And it wasn't about dogs.

Hi. It's me, Molly the blogging collie. I can't believe it's been a whole people week since my last post. And so much has happened. The paperback version is out. You can buy "Temporary Address" on paperback on line (cheapest through Lulu.com) and the e-book is available through Amazon.com.( and, in a couple of days, through anyone else on line.

I've been working so hard, I hardly had time to scratch a flea or sniff a hydrant. (It's always important to stop and smell the hydrants.) But it's all worth it. If you want to see what it's all about, you can read it by clicking the photos on the right of this blog. But it's way better in the published versions. My human was not very careful when she entered the posts on this blog. A collie would never have allowed that to happen. Okay, licks and tail wags to you all. I'm going to go have second breakfast.

Hello, it's Molly the collie BOK (back on keyboard). I've successfully uploaded the manuscript to Lulu Press. I must say, their staff has been courteous, efficient, and friendly - all traits appreciated by noble dogs like me. I'll keep you all informed of our progress.

Hi, It's Molly the canine publicist here. We hit a snag on Lulu Press here, I'm sorry to say. I tried to upload the manuscript, and they said I had to read their guidelines first. Since I'm a dog, I'm always eager to please, so I read their guidelines, and tried to upload, and they said to read their guidelines. Went through the loop about ten times, tried their help section, but apparently they hadn't anticipated this problem before. What's a collie to do???????? Here you see me chewing on a piece of rawhide. A great way to relieve frustrations. You humans should try it. Molly signing off.

Hi, it's Molly here again. I'm in a thoughtful mood today. Promoting is a hard job, and it's especially hard for a  dog because I don't have opposable thumbs, I don't even know how to spell opposable, and because I bark instead of talk like a human. And promoting a book like "Temporary Address" by an unknown is hard even if you are a human. I'm not the complaining type. My style has always been to just go for it with as much hard work and gusto as my body has in it. We working dogs have always been known for our drive. Anyway, I have to go and check on my progress with Lulu, (the website, not a girl named Lulu) where I'm working on publishing the paperback version. I want to thank you who read my blog and scratch my ears and tell me I'm a good dog. It means a lot to me.

Hi,

My human and I are beginning our marketing strategy for getting "Temporary Address" widely distributed.

It's only available on e-book now, so my first thought is to publish it through Lulu on hard copy. This is very exciting! I look forward to public appearances and book signings with my human. Maybe people will by so impressed by the book that they'll offer me liver snacks!!!!!!

A dog's life is a good llife.
