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.

"Kim Pearson's experience as a writer and ghostwriter has led her to write an invaluable book to
really explain ghostwriting as a viable, legitimate and respectable option for those who want help
in transforming their ideas into the printed world."

same person so collaboration is needed to get a well-written book to the reading public.
Pearson's book explains this process."

Eating Mythos Soup: poemstories for Laura
by Kim Pearson
Published by Fithian Press, 2000
$11.95 plus S&H
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.
