Trixie, Finalist, in Two Book Awards Contests!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, my tail is wagging right off my rear-end at the news! The Next Generation Indie Book Awards is an international contest honoring independent and self-published books in many categories. The NM Press Women’s Writing awards is a regional contest. 

The Indie Awards will be conducted online due to the pandemic, June 26th on the Next Generation Indie YouTube Channel (instead of the usual gala in Washington DC–darn!) and the NM Press Women’s banquet would have been in April (oh well). 

 

Trixie Finds Her People was one of five finalists in addition to the winner of the Animals/Pets category of the Next Generation Indie Awards contest. The Story Guy was definitely stunned that the book ranked so high, so it may take him a while to settle back down to Earth! But I’ll be sure he still takes me on walks every day!

 About Trixie

RJ the Story Guy tells the story of Trixie the Brown Dog. This mama dog is rescued from a situation where she and her puppies were part of a hoard of 23 dogs. Soon, her puppies were adopted, and she joins a girl and her grandparents as her new family.

At first, everything is new: living indoors in her new home, learning to potty outdoors, getting the occasional bath (not fun!), and being locked in the laundry room at night (really not fun!).

Soon Trixie and her people’s lives turn into a series of wonderful, humorous and sometimes scary adventures. In addition to her real life, Trixie embarks on three fantasy adventures while she sleeps. In the end it’s all about the bond of love between a rescue dog and her true forever family.

And… later on, Trixie will have her own regular website for you to visit and keep up with this very active dog and (future) media star (Deep Trixie Sigh). Meanwhile, Trixie wants to go for a walk, so we’ll get back to you later.
