Larceny: to steal, pilfer, swipe, filch, burgle, loot, purloin, rob.

Squared: something that sounds like math.

 

When Sophie Zinelli answers her phone in the middle of the night, she never expects to be asked to rescue a mistreated dog. She's a busy career woman and knows absolutely nothing about owning a dog, let alone a bossy, sly, and smart-alecky German Shepherd.

Is stealing a dog considered petty theft? Will her sheriff boyfriend arrest her? Will the vet call the microchip registry? Will the mean people she rescued Max from come after her? More importantly, what will happen to Max if Sophie can't pull off this wild caper? 

Meet Max - the most loveable, conning canine to ever bark on four legs.

The LOVE, LAUGH, BARK books are just right for a quick read. Grab your copy now and make your day!

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:

What a fun, happy book! Sophie sounds like someone I would love to have as my best friend. She's smart, funny, and isn't (too) afraid to take on the huge Max. This is the first of the series and I can't wait to read the 2nd book. This one just left me feeling happy and wanting more.

An absolutely hilarious must-read! This is a short novella, that can be read in one sitting and should totally be read by anyone in need of a pick-me-up. Very well written, witty and charming with a great cast of characters (both human and animal).

I dare anyone to not be totally enchanted with Max the German Shepherd. And while this book is light hearted and a feel good read, I really appreciate the author's bringing awareness to the problem of mistreated animals and overcrowded shelters and that she manages to do it in a way that is uplifting, not depressing.

Totally a series to watch, recommended to anyone and everyone.
With a healthy dose of Irish and Italian humor, get to know Sophie and friends, including a nearly blind kitten Max decides to add to the family.

When Sophie gets a dog, she has no idea what she's in for. Boy does she find out! Max is the funniest, most lovable dog out there. This is a sweet and engaging story. I'm going to read all of the Love, Laugh, Bark stories!

About the author

Katie Bryan

Not that you actually asked or anything, BUT...I have danced with emus (one emu for less than ten seconds, possibly it was chasing me), I've lost approximately 71 pens (actually it was 10 pencils and 7 or maybe 29 pens - hey, I don't have to LOVE math), I was smacked by a glacier (no, I am not the Titanic, and it wasn't so much a glacier as an ice cube tray that fell on my foot), and I am proud to have claimed victory over Hooked on Phonics. I don't wear a corset or write poems (although I'm quite sure I could master both, probably if I didn't want to breathe and learned what a haiku is since it turns out it's not a fancy martial arts term). 
When not writing, I'm a professional disruptive influence and prolific liar. 

As Katie Bryan, I write romantic comedy and heartwarming dog comedy with dogs and a cat and people too (lest you think the dogs and cats are having all the fun). The Woof Books are kind of like Marley and Me only they're not sad and only loosely true. Maybe they'd be more alike if Marley was a German Shepherd named Max and worked as a maƮtre d in an Italian restaurant and lived with a neurotic female named Sophie. And if there was a Golden Retriever named Buttercup and a kitten named Tilley. Oh, and a guy named Jack who was the sheriff in a small town who was the neurotic female's love interest. So, hmmm...Maybe they're a bit more like Turner and Hooch, minus the huge Mastiff and murder. Also a bit like A Dog's Purpose, but no one dies or gets reincarnated. They've kind of got a "Friends" feel to them only with less people and more dogs. And a cat.

As KT Bryan, I'm an action / romantic / military suspense writer. Author of Team EDGE.
