The pet in the picture (Holy Terror) is my own. She is only yawning. No animal was hurt for the making of this request. I am holding rights to her photo since she is on the cover of my third book. She is the heroine. I rescued this little princess from the gallows. She was feral and considered hopelessly unadoptable. She now loves greeting my visitors and having her tummy rubbed by anyone who enters her domain which she shares with her brother. She likes lots of love, being brushed and playing with her favourity toy which I have to hold and swing. She may just get her own facebook, if she keeps trying to get me off the computer.
