Greetings New Zealand Readers!

If you happen to find yourself in New Zealand, (where I would love to happen to find myself someday!), you can stop by a few libraries in the country to take out a copy of Tales from a Dog Catcher. I would like to thank the Christchurch City Library System in the mid north-east coastal region of New Zealand. You can read more about this lovely area here at the Christchurch and Canterbury region offical site. The photographs alone are breathtaking. Thanks also go out to the Napier Public Library in the Hawkes Bay section on the north eastern tip of New Zealand, the Nelson Public Library in Nelson, which is closer to the center of New Zealand and the Marlborough District Library in Blenheim located in the lustrous wine country in the north east of the south island. Many years ago, my best friend from elementary school moved back to New Zealand from the Hudson Valley. I remember being heartbroken when she left in the way that only young girls in their early teens can be! (Now that I have one of these myself, I see even better the drama that can ensue!) So, welcome my New Zealand friends, I hope you enjoy Tales from a Dog Catcher. Thank you for selecting it as one of your choices for new nonfiction ...and if you see Helena anywhere, tell her I miss her still!
