Here’s a first-peek at the cover of my upcoming picture book, What Dogs Don’t Know, wonderfully illustrated by Laura Sandoval. Not only does Laura bring bold colors and brilliant design to the book, but she’s also very, very funny.
I love this book so much, can’t wait for it to reach readers and dog-lovers everywhere.
But I guess I’ll have to, since it won’t be out until June 1, 2027.
Rats and snails!

I don’t believe I’ve ever done this here at Ye Olde Blog, but on Facebook from time to time I’ll pass along a photo of my dog Echo “hidden” in various landscapes. There are various levels of difficulty.
Yesterday we hiked Big Slide in the ADKs, a 9-mile loop trail via The Brothers. Early in the hike, I snapped this shot.
Where’s Echo?

I’ll wait.
Echo is a dog who is almost never on a leash, though he is always under control. I am the leash. He’s a very smart dog who wants to be good, which is an unbeatable combination. A rescue from down South, his mother was a border collie.
Anyway, done looking?
I’ll give it another minute.
Okay.
Here you go . . .

Or, okay, bigger . . .

For those of you who’ve never had a good look at him, here’s another random shot, from a different day, so you can get a gander . . .

By the way, I have a picture book coming out sometime in the Summer of 2027, titled What Dogs Don’t Know, illustrated by the remarkable Laura Sandoval Herrera. I’m super happy with this book and love — adore, worship — what Laura’s done with it. Feeling very lucky about this one.
