Characters from real life
The gentleman on the right is the real-life Mookie - one of the main characters in How to Steal a Dog.
He lives in Fountain Inn, South Carolina. I'm headed there tomorrow. I'm gonna look for Mookie!

Glad you brought this up.... I picked up HOW TO STEAL A DOG last week at a library. As a reader, I was unable to tear myself away. LOVED Georgina's voice and was caught up in her heartbreaking circumstances from page 1. Toby was also spot on.
As a writer, I kept thinking (upon surfacing occasionally), Man, hope I can write like this someday.

You can suck up any time you want. :-)
