Thanks to +Babs Chandrasoma of PR by the Book, I am giving away one copy of Culp Innata.


Book Description:


Following a decisive Global Economic Collapse, a mighty “World Union” emerges, where only the smartest, healthiest and wealthiest are deemed worthy to live. Here, everybody uses advanced electronic communications that are rumored to numb the user’s feelings. As Phoenix Wallis – who has just been hired as a peacekeeping agent for the World Union – discovers, these devices do far more than destroy personal relationships: placed into the wrong hands, they draw a very fine line between what is real … and what is not.

Giveaway: The Dog Lived (and So Will I) by Teresa Rhyne

Thanks to Liz Kelsch of Sourcebooks I am giving away one copy of The Dog Lived (and So Will I).


Book Description:


The Dog Lived (and So Will I) (ISBN: 9781402271724; October 2, 2012; $14.99 U.S.; Memoir; Trade Paper) is the true story of Teresa Rhyne and her totally incorrigible, totally lovable beagle, Seamus. Teresa was a successful attorney finally enjoying life with a new (younger) boyfriend, after surviving her second divorce, when her newly adopted dog Seamus was diagnosed with a malignant tumor and given less than a year to live.


While Teresa coped by swearing, wailing, raging, drinking wine, blaming, self-pity, dog-pity, and drinking more wine, Seamus ate everything in sight. He also charmed the vets out of thousands of bones, demanded regular cuddles, howled when he was left alone, had uncontrollable bursts of energy, and generally came to rule his household—all while undergoing chemotherapy.


Seamus beat his grim diagnosis with moxie and good humor. But the story doesn’t end there. Just one year later, at the age of 45, Teresa was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer.

Her doctors said there was a thirty percent chance her cancer would metastasize and kill her. It occurred to her that Seamus’s devil-may-care approach to cancer wasn’t such a bad idea. She also felt oddly confident she’d survive—because the dog did.


The Dog Lived (and So Will I) tells the moving and often hilarious story of how Seamus led the way and made cancer a less frightening, more manageable experience for Teresa.


It is also the story of how a woman, a younger man, and a hard-luck beagle grew into an unconventional, committed, and loving family.


About Teresa Rhyne:


Teresa Rhyne is an animal advocate and breast cancer survivor. On January 12, 2009, she underwent a lumpectomy for triple-negative breast cancer, followed by four rounds of chemotherapy and 36 rounds of radiation. She has been “NED” (no evidence of disease) ever since.


She has lived in Southern California (it’s like its own state) for her entire life, and shares a house with her boyfriend Chris and their irrepressible, diabolically cute beagle, Seamus (the Famous).


And About That Beagle:


 Seamus had a rough start in life. Animal Control found him roaming the mean streets of Moreno Valley (that’s right, he’s a street beagle) and brought him to the County Animal Shelter where, despite his microchip and obvious prior care, his prior guardians never came to claim him.


Just in time, the magnificent crew at the Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center rescued him and promptly brought him into Teresa’s life where he has quickly made up for any past hardships. His (assigned) birth date is March 17, 2003 and his full name is Seamus Luxury Leisure Danger Trouble Hunger Cuteness Rhyne-Kern (the Famous).


His favorite meal is chicken, bacon, bleu cheese, cheeseburger on a triple bun, with roast beef, pastrami and pork chops on the side, and Girl Scout cookies for dessert. Also, toast.
