Dawn Greenfield Ireland's The Puppy Baby Book Blog Tour with a Spotlight, Interview and Giveaway

 

I am so excited to have Dawn Greenfield Ireland at Paranormal and Romantic Suspense Reviews with a Spotlight, Interview and Giveaway.

Thanks Dawn and iRead Book Tours for allowing me to join The Puppy Baby Book Blog Tour!

Please take it away, Dawn! 

Interview

1. How did you market your book for it to reach a 20th Anniversary?

HA! You would not believe how I DIDN’T market my book. I didn’t have a marketing budget – at all. Every book I sent out the door had a postcard inside with a printed sticky note that begged people to share the postcard to help get the word out.

It worked. That is the only marketing I did. The people who bought the book, obviously loved it and did share my postcard. I will be forever grateful to them.

2. I loved your note from the author. Do you think people made changes about how they perceived their pets?

I hope so. I’m very disturbed when I read stories about animal cruelty, or puppy mills. Makes me want to turn into a superhero and kick some butts.

3. I noticed you have tips at the bottom of some pages…

I wanted to make sure that new puppy parents understood how to take care of their new charges. Not everyone knows that chocolate is a toxin, and that curious puppies may grab a bug trap and get poisoned. They chew on everything while teething.

4. Do people fill in the pages?

When you consider that 200+ people buy the book every year, I’m pretty sure they do. Also, I know tons of people who dress up their dogs and post pictures on social media, so, um, they fill in the pages for all the holidays and occasions in the book.

5. What’s it like to be a writer?

For me, it’s never having an empty head. I have folders with scraps of paper with snippets of ideas. I love my work.

Book Description

CELEBRATING 20-YEARS ANNIVERSARY!

This unique hardcover "fill in the blanks" baby book gives dog lovers the same opportunity to chart their puppies growth and progress, as parents of infants do with their baby books.

Now, as your puppy grows, you can document:

 

 Where the puppy was born
 The birth parents names and breeds
 Who the puppy resembles
 Where the puppy was adopted from
 The first meal
 The puppy's playmates
 When potty training took place
 Obedience school classes
 Favorite things to do
 What vitamins the puppy takes
 Medical records
 Medical emergencies and blunders
 And much more

 

There is a keepsake pocket for the first rabies tag after it expires, a page where you can place your puppy's paw prints, a pocket to keep the adoption papers, a placeholder for an adoption announcement card, a first aid kit list, and picture placeholders throughout the book. You will be able to write what you did with your puppy on special days throughout the calendar year from New Years day to Hanukkah and Christmas -- 23 occasions in all.

Meet the Author

Dawn Greenfield Ireland is the author of several award-winning novels, nonfiction books, and screenplays. To date she has 12 published novels that consists of three series (cozy mystery, YA science fiction/fantasy, and adult shape-shifter), a dystopian, and a sci-fi romance adventure. The Last Dog, a dystopian novel set in 2086 is closely related to the Covid/Corona pandemic! Who knew there would be so many parallels from the time she wrote the book (2010) to this crazy pandemic of 2020! Three of her nonfiction books have won awards. Nine of her 15 screenplays (comedies, dramas, horror, action adventure and science fiction), have won awards. She has also written three short scripts. Her former day job as an award-winning technical writer (34 years) played a major role in her fiction writing – she is detailed oriented, the organizational queen of the known universe, and never misses a deadline. Dawn writes full time in addition to editing books for authors, and coaching people through the writing process.
