Welcome, and a word about why I'm doing this
I have spent most of my life telling stories out loud, usually at a dinner table, usually at the expense of my own dignity. Writing them down is newer. Putting them on a website for strangers to read is newer still, so you will have to bear with me while I work out what exactly this thing is meant to be.
Where is Barking at Dogs right now?
Every so often someone asks how the book is coming along, in the careful voice you save for a friend who has been talking about the same project for a suspiciously long time. So here is an honest update. Barking at Dogs is on track for 30 September 2026, and that date is no longer negotiable, largely because Leora keeps a spreadsheet and the spreadsheet has opinions.
The writing is finished. The cover is done, the interior is typeset, and I am reading proofs and hunting for the one stray comma that always survives. The ebook lands in early August, with advance copies close behind.
