Release Day! Happy Book Birthday to Fight Or Flight

by | Jul 31, 2018 | Books, Cat Behavior & Care, Dog Training & Care | 3 comments

Today, I’m excited to announce the release of my next fiction book, FIGHT OR FLIGHT, which is the 4th title in my thriller series. Many of you enjoy reading this blog about cat and dog behavior and care, and I wanted to include thriller readers in the fun.

THRILLERS WITH BITE! FURRY SUSPENSE &

PET-CENTRIC PLOTS

I love weaving real dog and cat training, behavior and health information into the story lines. The books feature a main character, September, who works as an animal behaviorist. She has PTSD issues and her canine partner Shadow helps with this. The German Shepherd service dog character has his own chapters told from his “dog” viewpoint and – well, Shadow was based on my own dog Magic. So in a way, writing these stories allows me to remain connected to my sweet Magical-Dawg.

In past stories, all set in the fictional North Texas town of Heartland, I’ve focused on a number of issues near and dear to my heart. The first story is permanently free in all Ebooks, and LOST AND FOUND involved off-label medication for autism and service dogs for children. The second book, HIDE AND SEEK, explores hog hunting and a mysterious illness affecting both wildlife and humans, and included information about feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a heart ailment).

The third story, SHOW AND TELL, shines a light on the shameful business of dog fighting, and how law enforcement uses canine DNA to catch the bad guys. It also allowed me to create other-abled “kid heroes” to defeat the evil. Yes, it’s made up fun, so I get to steer my stories so good always wins out.

FIGHT OR FLIGHT: THE PLOT & NEW CHARACTERS

This newest story FIGHT OR FLIGHT introduces new characters including a Rottweiler police-dog-in-training and her trainer, Lia Corazon. Here’s the description from my editor.

A dog trainer with special abilities. A dead body with hidden secrets. Solving the case will take more than animal instincts.

Lia Corazon pours her heart and soul into her kennel. So when a storm destroys her business, she’d do anything to get back to training dogs… even if it means making a deal with the strict grandparents who want to put an end to her lifelong search for the father she’s never known.

Determined to prove she deserves a second chance, she starts training a scrappy young Rottweiler named Karma. After the would-be police pup sniffs out a dead body, Lia teams up with a detective who could hold the missing link to her Hawaiian heritage and the mysterious bond she shares with her four-legged friends. But her special connection will be pushed to its limits when the twisted trail of clues leads to a horrific black market operation.

With innocent lives on the line, can Lia solve the mystery of her legacy before the deadly crime syndicate claims another victim?

Fight or Flight is the fourth book in the action-packed September & Shadow thriller series. If you like complex characters, canine companions, and captivating twists and turns, then you’ll love Amy Shojai’s gritty page-turner. Buy Fight or Flight to unleash a hair-raising thrill ride today!

    Neat!

    As an aside I’m posting a horror novel in installments to my Facebook page. It’s a fun way to get feedback through the writing process.

August 30 Is National Holistic Pet Day! But What Is Holistic Pet Care?

Have you ever considered holistic medicine for your pets? There are many questions about what is holistic pet care. Is it the same thing as what your regular vet offers? There are many names for offering traditional medicine for pets. Some call it alternative medicine or natural healing. But are there specific definitions, and is holistic pet care a good choice for your cats and dogs? August 30 is National Holistic Pet Day, so it’s a good time to revisit asking these questions.

Why Dogs Bark & How to Stop A Dog from Barking

Do you know how to stop dog barking? “Will you please, for the love of doG, stop barking!” When Shadow-Pup joined our family, he and Bravo-Dawg egged each other on. Now that he’s the only dog, he and the cat tease each other and prompt bark-fest and meow-athons.

Here’s what you need to know about barking to help stem the noise.

Dog Ticks: All About Ehrlichiosis

This disease has been reported worldwide wherever these ticks are found. Most cases in the United States occur in dogs living in the Texas Gulf coast regions and other southern states. All dogs are susceptible, but those with greater exposure to ticks. Outdoor dogs, working dogs and hunting dogs are at highest risk. Here’s what you need to know.

The DOs and DONTs of Camping with Your Dog or Cat

Summer arrived even earlier than expected this year, with temperatures hitting triple digits by mid-June. There’s still plenty of pet camping season left. Even though camping with pets isn’t for me, I know lots of folks who LOVE it, including my brother and his dog. He takes the dog with them camping, boating, skiing, and pretty much everywhere.

Bringing your furry one along camping (or glamping) is a great bonding experience. But before you pack up and hit the road, look over my DOs and DONTs of camping with your dog or cat.

What to do when camping with a pet

First, decide if your pet will enjoy camping. Not all will enjoy it. My Karma-Kat would HATE camping. He’s a homebody, and enjoys watching birds, bunnies, and squirrels through the window, but freezes when his paws hit the grass. Shadow-Pup’s more adventurous and probably would do better…

How to Get the Most from Vet Visits: What to Ask & How to Ask

When I worked as a veterinary technician many years ago, pet parents ask questions all the time, but rarely to the vet. Folks often acted embarrassed, or waited to telephone from home hours or days after the appointment. Perhaps they felt intimidated by the doctor when they take pets to the back, or feared their questions were foolish. Maybe the busy schedule of the clinic offered little opportunity to ask…
