Book excerpt: A searing story of a young man's search for his own family truths set against the relentlessly cold, cruel and stark realities of early 1980s Soviet Russia. 'A disquietingly well-crafted thriller . . . ' - The Age. Enthralling, atmospheric and suspenseful, Stray Dog Winter is at once an unconventional Cold War thriller and an original, unforgettable love story set in 1980s Moscow. Darcy, a restless young artist, travels to the Soviet Union to visit his elusive half-sister Fin. Together only briefly during their youth, Darcy and Fin are estranged by the distance between them, yet inextricably bound by the secrets and betrayals of their childhood. Upon his arrival in the depths of a bleak Moscow winter, Darcy is immediately embroiled in Fin's mysterious life there and also drawn to Moscow's forbidden underground, finding himself swept up in political and sexual intrigues of a nature he could never have imagined. As the past resurfaces and the present closes in, the intricacies of their bond as brother and sister are revealed, and Darcy uncovers Fin's involvement in a dangerous game of her own. Their worlds threaten to collide with profound and deadly consequences. Written with a stark, haunting beauty, Stray Dog Winter is pure Soviet noir, a remarkable tale of love, passion, politics, identity, and espionage. 'Elegantly written and grippingly suspenseful, David Francis's Stray Dog Winter takes readers right into the heart of Graham Greene country.' - JANET FITCH, author of White Oleander and Paint it Black. 'David Francis has a surgeon's cold eye and a poet's heart; his prose is powerful, masterful.' - SAMANTHA DUNN, author of Failing Paris and Faith in Carlos Gomez. 'Permeated with a brooding unease, powerfully matched by the palpable cold of winter in Moscow . . . sinister, suspenseful and beautifully written.' - DEBRA ADELAIDE, author of The Household Guide to Dying. 'Francis is as adept at capturing the isolation of life in small-town Australia as he is in recreating the frightening world of Cold War Russia. . . Stray Dog Winter is a remarkable achievement on many levels (and) David Francis is a writer of considerable skill. In Stray Dog Winter he combines a literary style with a compelling narrative about love, passion and betrayal.' - Canberra Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A weary-looking man stands at an intersection, backpack at his feet. Curled up nearby is a mixed-breed dog, unfazed by the passing traffic. The man holds a sign that reads, ¿Two old dogs need help. God bless.¿ What¿s happening here? Leslie Irvine breaks new ground in the study of homelessness by investigating the frequently noticed, yet underexplored, role that animals play in the lives of homeless people. Irvine conducted interviews on streetcorners, in shelters, even at highway underpasses, to provide insights into the benefits and liabilities that animals have for the homeless. She also weighs the perspectives of social service workers, veterinarians, and local communities. Her work provides a new way of looking at both the meaning of animal companionship and the concept of home itself.

Book excerpt: In 1960s inner city Boston, Stan Zuray had no future. As the Vietnam war took more and more of his friends, and many of those who returned sank further into drugs and despair, Stan looked for meaning and found nothing. His life's purpose lay thirty-three hundred miles northwest, deep in the Tozitna River Valley in the heart of Alaska's frozen interior. Deadly cold, famine, grizzly bears, and one unruly sled dog with a grudge kept Stan on the knife's edge between survival and death. Humbled by the power of nature, the Boston greaser who was destined for prison found a new life in the wild, where one mistake can prove fatal. This is the true story of Stan Zuray's incredible journey; the reformation of a man's heart and mind in the forbidding darkness of Alaska's endless winter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Book excerpt: You are responsible forever for what you tame... Zane's not the bad boy he was when he left Whispering Pines. He's back, and (mostly) reformed. Nowadays, he works security in a gated community. His life is simple and good. The only thorn in his side is the stray dog scaring residents and the cute do-gooder who takes him on for trying to chase the dog off. Becca knows Zane's just doing his job, but she's trying to rescue a stray and the legendary playboy's tactics are making her job much harder. When she finds out he's not an animal-lover, she can't decide whether she should cut him loose or try and thaw his heart. These two have little in common, except a red-hot chemistry that insists on rearing its head every time they're together. When Becca faces the animal rescue of a lifetime, can she count on Zane to come through, or do old habits die hard? If you like sweet small towns, memorable characters, and swoon-worthy happy endings, then you'll love this romance by a USA Today best-selling author.
