Thank you for making When My Family Stayed Home: A Dog’s Quarantine Story the #1 new ebook release in its category 💙
Yesterday, we released our first picture book through Amazon’s self-publisher platform. Self-publishing is a rewarding, yet terrifying experience. It’s a great honor to see your work bound into a book and celebrated by your followers, but it’s also a moment of stark vulnerability as you rely upon the people around you to decide the fate of your piece (because you don’t have a giant publishing house who recreates fate daily).
This book was created as an uplifting story for kids and a novelty for adults. If you love doggos, think we need a stream of light in this dark chapter, cherish humor, or love supporting small authors, please share, reblog, and order our book. Thank you for helping us to reach bookshelves everywhere.
But how
do you
give an
appetite
even
to my eyes?
-L.M.G.
Do you
ever think
people
are violent
or invasive
because they don’t know
any other way
to be interesting?
-L.M.G.
There are no
bad words —
only bad intentions;
your words
take the blame,
like
spoken scapegoats.
-L.M.G.
You’ve taken up residence
in my heart
and grow
every day more immovable;
when I peer into the cabinets
and corners
I can’t help but to think
I love what you’ve done with it.
You don’t just rise in the morning with your character; it’s formed and reformed every day, pressed together, pulled apart, and recreated by your
company
connections
music
moments
books
browsers
paths
and poisons.
I can scarcely
write poetry
when I’m with you
because
I’m far too overswept
by the way it feels
-LMG
Thunderstorms
and hurricanes
deceive us
when they change course,
letting us believe
that disaster can
weave around us,
when death is a tempest
that will not miss.
