I have some really exciting news to share today. I am so proud to announce that I will be partnering with Patriot Paws to share a portion of royalties from my book Stay. I was looking for an organization that modeled the many lessons we learn from our canine friends that I wrote about in Stay.
Patriot Paws trains service dogs to assist, comfort and love disabled veterans who have suffered PTS and other injuries in the service of our country. The dogs are provided at no cost to the veterans.
Patriot Paws fit perfectly as a partner with their commitment to faith, our wonderful veterans and the unique connection dogs have to the emotional well-being of these heroes.
The added bonus was the prison offender training program that is giving hope, love and life purpose to many for the first time. Certified service dog trainers from Patriot Paws work with the inmates and their dogs at the correctional institutions on a weekly basis. In addition, the Executive Director, Lori Stevens, and her trainer assistants hold training classes for the inmates at the correctional facilities once a week. The inmates live with their dogs in dormitory-like space in each unit, which includes outdoor areas for the dogs. It is a remarkable program and the current recidivism rate of those who have trained dogs and been paroled is less than three percent! This is truly a win-win program.
I am proud to support Patriot Paws with a portion of proceeds from my book sales and by getting the word out about this special organization. Today I will send the first check to Patriot Paws from royalties from Stay. Every copy sold going forward will benefit this wonderful organization. I encourage you to watch this video about Patriot Paws.
To celebrate I am offering a free personalized autograph plate for every book sold for the rest of 2016. Simply private message me at my Facebook author page with your address and information on how you want the book signed.
Big News!
