“Dogs and other animals – goats, donkeys, cows, a grumpy rooster – continue to change my writing life.” ~ Jon Katz
For Animal Lovers
If you love animals like I do, then you’ll appreciate the inspiration they provide as we live, work and write! As a ghostwriter, I read the words of others to draw inspiration, defeat writer’s block, and generate ideas—especially thoughts that involve nature and our animal friends. What better way to find inspiration!

“Lots of people talk to animals… Not very many listen, though… That’s the problem.” ~ Benjamin Hoff
“We’re so much more likely to feel sympathy for an animal than another person; thus, the best fiction uses animals to define truly humane behavior.” ~ Chuck Palahniuk
“All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.” ~Cecil Frances Alexander
“Books have the same enemies as people: fire, humidity, animals, weather, and their own content.” ~ Paul Valery
