COMING in April 2008! Dog Park Diary: the Social Round of Goody Beagle
An opinionated (and sometimes snotty) beagle visits her local dog park every day and records what happened - who was there, what they did, what they said or thought, how they got along with other dogs, what games they played, how often they peed, and especially how they smelled. Goody Beagle brought her human (me!) with her to write it all down, and invited a photographer to come along too, to capture the dogs of the park in pictures. It's a doggy soap opera come to life! If you have a dog and visit your local dog park, you will recognize the inter-canine dynamics on every page. If you don't have a dog, you still might go to the dog park just so you can experience the drama of what goes on there. Dog Park Diary wilil make you laugh -- and you'll never smell things in the same way again. To read an excerpt from Dog Park Diary, click here:

There is a being named Laura, to whom people tell their stories. Laura is a
shape-shifter and a guide from another dimension; her role is to eat the stories
people give her. The stories are wild and exotic, still and brilliant, daydreams
and nightmares alike. Laura devours them all. She revels in the flesh and dirt
and blood of the stories, and in all the juicy paradoxical conditions of humanity,
and when she has digested the stories she reveals the ugly beauty within them. Here
are fifty-two poemstories for Laura, stories sizzling with imagery and metaphor and
alive with the joy of language. They come from all sorts of people – a gardener, an
accountant, a purple witch, an angry parrot, a clown in a bear suit. They are full of
hope, fear, love, sex, dung, joy, and guilt. And reading them is about as close as we'll
ever come to understanding who or what Laura is. Take off your mask -- or put one on. One may lead
you to the shattering truth, the other to betrayal or revenge. Enter the strange cracked
world of these enchanting short stories; a world which may stay with you a long time,
like a persistent dream -- or a recurring nightmare. This is a world where it is common
to find alligators returning from the dead; a platoon of cats executing an elaborate revenge;
a small boy defeating his enemy with a trampoline; a haunted bed enhancing the
shape of its occupants; an old curmudgeon frolicking with bears. These 23 stories
may both surprise you and make you twitch with recognition. An
illustrated children’s book of whimsical drawings
of animals and an off-beat text that makes children (and adults) laugh. Seattle's own Johnnie Jessen has been a well
known musician, performer and teacher for almost eighty years. His unique method of "glottal"
blowing has enabled him and his students to attain a superior tone on all woodwind instruments,
and his charismatic personality and colorful history has inspired generations of professional
musicians and music lovers. The proceeds from this book will go to the Jessen Music
Foundation to provide music scholarships for deserving junior high and high
school students. It is available from the Jessen Music Foundation,
