PRESS RELEASE FOR BOOK ONE:
Rescued dog inspiration for author’s first book: SADIE MAE BAIRD … Canine Avatar Broken Arrow, Oklahoma – Carolyn Arkison, mother and grandmother, inspired by the gentle spirit of the puppy, Sadie Mae Baird, rescued by her son on Christmas Day, 2006, has just published her first book. Sadie is a Canine Avatar, a living creature with a spirit that seems much older than her current incarnation would suggest possible. Sadie will warm your heart with her simple and practical approach to appreciating the beauty and bounty of life that surrounds each and every one of us each and every day. Arkison felt compelled to describe the fear, abandonment and emotion experienced by homeless pets from the animal’s perspective with the intent of raising compassion and awareness on behalf of these innocent creatures. Writing the voice of Sadie Mae, Arkison discusses in detail Sadie’s early entry into her new family, how much she appreciates being loved, and her canine observations of various human behaviors. She speaks with simple language and genuine emotion as she discusses topics such as hope, vision and purpose. Arkison says, “My husband has encouraged me for years to write a book, feeling that I had talent. Once I met Sadie, it was as though the book wrote itself. The sweet spirit of this precious creature is so innocent. Thanks to Sadie’s inspiration and Lulu Publishing I am now proud to be a published author.” This book can be purchased at www.lulu.com/carkison or www.amazon.com and type in Sadie Mae Baird into the search box.
