Romancing the pet lover's soul

Last week my serialized novella, Once Upon a Collar, launched at the White Rose Publishing reader's yahoo group. This fun read is available FREE for anyone who joins the group! We've beenhaving a great time over there reading the first chapter and answering discussion questions.

Come join us at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WhiteRosePublishing/and get in on the fun.

Emilie Bonner, the heroine of Once Upon a Collar, is an artist who creates special wedding cake toppers. She's less than happy when she's forced to create a topper with a groom dressed in red pants as a cartoon-inspired Prince Charming. Since she's a dog lover, I thought I'd share a mini-gallery of wedding cake toppers she might findmore fun.

Aren't these a riot? I never knew such things existed until I wrote this novella. Shhh. Don't tell Emilie. She's supposed to be working onsomething more like this...

Once Upon a Collar, by Teri Wilson. Available for FREE from White Rose Publishing.

Whenever Emilie Bonner meets a man, she can't help but imagine what he would look like on top of a wedding cake. Since she spends most of her waking hours designing wedding cake toppers, it's somewhat of an occupational hazard. Somewhere along the way--perhaps after the first two hundred or so--hand-crafted bridegrooms, Emilie begins to doubt she'll ever findher own happily-ever-after.

Then, after a mysterious encounter with a woman who could be an angel, Emilie meets a handsome stranger at the dog park. At first, it seems as though Matt, with his big dopey dog and irrepressible charm, is thePrince Charming she's been waiting for. Not only is he a sweetheart, but he'd look great on top of a wedding cake.

Soon, however, she discovers something about him that changes everything and leaves her wondering - does God believe in fairy tales?
