The cover for Dixie’s Gift is a sweet, well-drawn depiction of my dog, Dixie, a beautiful female Belgian Malinois that we adopted. She was my companion and friend for more then ten years before cancer took her.
Everyone who’s lost a beloved pet will understand my sorrow.
I turned the feelings into a short Christmas story of lost love and hope.
Dixie’s Gift is coming soon from The Wild Rose Press.
Blurb: Ellen Carter deeply grieves for her husband Dan, but at least she still has Dixie, her beloved Malinois. However, soon Dixie leaves her too. But the faithful dog cannot rest easy in heaven while her mistress is unhappy. Dixie pleads with the Archangel Michael to let her send help, and intercedes for Ellen in the only way she can. But will Ellen get the message, and more importantly, will she accept Dixie’s gift?
Sexy newcomer Michael Burke can barely take enough time from his successful restaurant for a decent night’s sleep, let alone romance. Still, he is intrigued by the beautiful widow and can’t resist entering her shop. Sparks fly, and when Ellen has an accident in a snowstorm, he comes to her rescue. Trapped by a blizzard and aided by Dixie’s Gift, Ellen and Michael find more than shelter–they find love.

Your story sound like a great romance but your cover rules. I love Malinois but don’t tell my Elkhound or Border Collie.

Will be available Dec 7. The cover is from a photo of my girl, Dixie. She crossed the rainbow bridge last year.

What a great cover! We had a dog that looked very similar to yours (minus the upright ears). I loved that dog and miss her dearly. I’m sorry for your loss. But happy for your new release!

Sounds like a lovely story. Such a nice way to remember your Dixie. I understand your pain, three years ago we lost our beloved 14 year lhasa also companion, Bummy.
