I would like to thank Neil for stopping by BookHounds today and answering my silly questions.
Be sure to stop by later, read my review and enter to win a copy of the wonderful book Neil has written. Yes, there are dogs in it, as well as several other animals. This book will truly open your eyes and make you think about animals, the afterlife and what it truly means to be human.

Welcome Neil!
Jealous you are already reading State of Wonder…we have a long wait list at the library, I can’t wait to read it too.
Your novel sounded so sad at first, but seems to bloom into such a great tale. If Mary liked it, that’s a great recommendation for me.
