A few weeks ago I went to an event called Readers & ‘Ritas which featured many authors, some I had heard of, some that I had not. While at breakfast before the event started, I met Alexandra Allred who happens to live in the DFW area (met a lot of authors that live in this […]

Anywho…the book is Delilah Doolittle and the Purloined Pooch and the author is Patricia […]
