Three Amigas Book One: Where It All Began
About sixteen years ago, I wrote a children's book about a little girl named Maddy and her two furry best friends, Sasha and Laya. I had no idea at the time that they would eventually become The Three Amigas — or that one book would turn into a whole series.
Sasha is a small but mighty Rottweiler who takes her job as guardian of the family very seriously. Laya is her younger Cocker Spaniel sister, who approaches the world with considerably more enthusiasm and considerably less caution. And then there is Maddy, the ten-year-old girl they both absolutely adore. Together, they learn about dogs, people, responsibility, leadership, friendship and the world around them — usually while having a pretty good adventure along the way.
This first book follows the girls through one ordinary-but-not-so-ordinary day: a trip to the veterinarian, a picnic and afternoon at the lake, encounters with other dogs, and conversations about everything from breed prejudice to animal rescue and what it really means to be responsible for an animal.
But mostly, it's about the relationship between a girl and her dogs.
And I've reached a point where I don't particularly care about selling a million copies of these books.
I want kids to read them.
So I've made the Kindle edition free through September 5.
You Do NOT Need a Kindle
This part is important because I don't think everyone realizes it:
You do not need to own a Kindle device to read a Kindle book.
You can read Kindle books on a computer, phone or tablet using Amazon's free Kindle reader.
So if you have a child, grandchild, niece, nephew — or know a young animal lover who might enjoy hanging out with Maddy, Sasha and Laya for a while — please feel free to pass this along.
The book is free.

If your young readers like this one, there are more adventures waiting for them.
This is where it all began.
And sixteen years later, I'd simply really like kids to get to know The Three Amigas.
