Breaking News! I am now posting pictures from the RT Booklovers' Convention on my travel blog, Aloha On My Mind, at this link.
Susan Stoker co-hosted a SEAL themed table at the SOS America Military Tribute. From her bio,
Susan Stoker has a heart as big as the state of Texas where she lives but this all American girl has also spent the last fourteen years living in Missouri, California, Colorado, and Indiana (Kim's comment - clear indicated she is a military spouse). She is quite the romantic and even met the love of her life on "Hotmail classified" before online dating and sites like match.com even existed!
Susan loves writing but her true passion is adopting dogs from rescue groups and shelters. Susan and her husband have had a total of nine "rescued" dogs since 2000 including a variety of basset hounds and bloodhounds. She has recently branched out and adopted a basset/terrier mix who acts more like a terrier than a basset (i.e. digging, eating a couch and being hyper). If you love romance and want to help her support adopting great dogs, be sure to check out her work!

Mahalo, Susan, for your dog rescue efforts! Susan is getting ready for the release of PROTECTING JESSYKA on July 7:
Kason “Benny” Sawyer was the last single man on his Navy SEAL team. He loved his teammates like brothers and respected each and every one of their women. They’d all been through hell and they deserved their current happiness. But seeing the love between his friends and their women made it tough to be the odd man out all the time.
Jessyka Allen had a good life, until it wasn’t anymore. Finding herself in an impossible situation, with no noticeable way out, her job was an escape. Working at the small Bar and Grill put her in contact with some wonderful people, who Jess figured couldn’t ever understand what she was going through.
Being a SEAL, Benny thought he knew the true meaning of teamwork and friendship. But Jess would show him that everything he thought he knew about sacrifice, trust, and love, paled in comparison to what she brought into his world.
Protecting Jessyka is the 6th book in the SEAL of Protection Series. It can be read as a stand-alone, but it’s recommended you read the books in order to get maximum enjoyment out of the series.
May is National Military Appreciation Month. For the month of May, I am giving away one grand prize of books and swag from the authors featured this month (link). Plus five more commenters - one for each branch of service - wins a book choice from my convention stash. To enter the giveaway,

I'll go with golden retrievers.
ReplyDeleteWe have two English Black Labs now. They are smart, protective and very good with children. Before these two, we had a German shepherd/Char Pei mix, a small terrier mix and two cats.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to enter.

My baby is my German Shepherd, Hunter. Normally I'm a cat person, but he's my dream puppy!
ReplyDeleteI have a cat, but I rather like poodles :)
ReplyDeleteLove dogs! I've had mutts, cocker spaniels and welsh terriers! Crazy days in the summer and winter!
ReplyDeleteI do like dogs. I don't have a favorite breed.
ReplyDeleteMy husband likes big dogs so we have a black lab and a blue heeler/catahoula mix but I personally would love to have a pug or a jug someday.
ReplyDeleteI like dogs but prefer cats.
ReplyDeleteWe had a jack Russell named Molly and have a cat named Clover.
ReplyDeleteI love dogs! My avatar is a "baby" pic from when he was 3 months old. He's a beagle/pointer mix. I don't have a breed fav. I like mixes cuz it's fun to have a dog that looks different from the rest :)
ReplyDeleteMy youngest is allergic to dogs but not cats. Weird. I had many dogs and my favorite was a Golden Retriever.
ReplyDeleteI love dogs. Many are waiting at the Rainbow Bridge. My two furbabies are mini poodles, one black and one white. Charlie(Tuna) and Hendrix. My neighbor deemed them Tuna and Noodle. lol These two little guys are the love of our life!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful words about Susan. She is a very talented and wonderful person!!!
I love most dogs. However, my husband is a diehard golden retriever person.

ReplyDeleteAustralian shepherd but am cat person
ReplyDeleteI'm an animal lover and have had rats for the last 15 years. I never thought I would have a dog as an adult because I always adopted rats. I had a dog when I was a kid and loved him. Then 6 months ago my hubby came home and asked if I'd be willing to take on a dog because he talked a lady and her husband into giving him to us because they were abusive. So we've now had Falcor for 6 months. He's a small Chihuahua/ Jack Russel Terrier mix and He's great.
ReplyDeleteI love dogs. I will always have a special fondness for white german shepherds.
ReplyDeleteI grew up with cats and dogs as pets. Hubby doesn't like cats, so we're a "Dog Family" now. We currently are looking for our newest addition to the family, another rescue dog.
ReplyDeleteIn the past I have had poodles and cocker spaniels.....now I'm a cat lady.
ReplyDeleteno fav kind
ReplyDeleteCocker spaniels or retrievers.

I love a lot of dogs, and actually favor mixed breeds - they often have excellent dispositions and don't have some of the health issues as pure breds.
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are German Shepards, Saint Benards, and Newfoundlands.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite breed of dog. I love them all.
ReplyDeleteI love all kinds of dogs as long as they are well-behaved (0:
ReplyDeleteI love all dogs but my favorite would have to be the Shih Tzu. They are just adorable and so loving.
ReplyDeleteI love King Charles Cavaliers. One of my sisters' had two of them. I also love Pomeranians and Yorkshire Terriers.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I'm allergic :-( But I love Dalmatians!
ReplyDeleteAm really not an animal person.
