I loved the interviews... Now I'm wondering what my dog thought of us when she was alive. To the J's. I love your books and as you well know I own a few of them.. I'd never heard about the Peggy Lee series until just a week or so ago. So, just sayin, if I'm the lucky one I'd love one of them to try, or the latest Missing Pieces. LOL

ReplyDeleteThe interviews are great! I have found most of your series and they are fun! I need to start working on the Peggy Lee Garden series, I think that's the only one I haven't read yet!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hours and hours of entertainment.

I have all of the books above, except the Peggy Lee. I am hooked on all your series! I loved the conversation with all the pets, and laughed out loud (and then blushed because I'm at work). Thanks for all your words!

ReplyDeleteI haven't read the pet psychic books but they sound great.
ReplyDeleteAw...what would we do without our animals! Thank you Joyce for letting yours tell us a thing or two about themselves and their humans. If I were to win one of your cozies, I'd love to have the first in your Biscuit Bowl Food Truck series. Thank you for the opportunity!

I love what Hero said! None of them alone could do but working together as a team saves the day. Thank you for the chance!
ReplyDeleteSuch an entertaining interview! I can imagine what our 4 dogs would have to say if they could speak "human". I believe they rarely have difficulty getting their wants across in dog speak and action. Just curious, what pets do you share your home and love with? servedogmom@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI would love a chance to win one of these books.

These all look like fun series. Thank you for the chance to win. griperang at embarqmail dot com
ReplyDeleteLove your books. I love the ones set in Tennessee. Lived in Nashville for twenty years and with my job, the only county I never visited in TN was Lake, Saw the entire state. Places that no one else even dreams of driving to unless they live there.
