A New Book (and Treats!) from Steve & Rochester

Dog’s Kitchen + exclusive story bundle available now

I’ve created a special early-bird $6.00 Dog’s Kitchen Bonus Bundle just for my favorite readers. It’s only available now through December 15, when the e-book releases to all readers. It includes:

  • The Dog’s Kitchen ebook

  • An autograph page featuring a golden retriever photo
    My handwriting was never great—my parents used to joke I should become a doctor—and the tremors in my right hand haven’t helped. So I commissioned an artist to stylize my signature instead.

  • Dog-friendly recipes including pizza and a fruit plate.

  • A printable, color-friendly PDF of holiday greetings from Rochester.

  • An exclusive short story, “For Dog and Country,” where Steve and Rochester investigate a holiday theft in River Bend.

    Buy the Special Edition

    If you’ve already pre-ordered through Amazon (I know 219 of you have!) You can easily cancel that pre-order if you buy this way.

    Here’s how delivery works:

● You’ll purchase through Gumroad, a platform that sells digital products on behalf of creators. You’ll get your purchase receipt from them.
● After checkout, you’ll receive an email from BookFunnel, which delivers the files.

That email will look like this:

Dog’s Kitchen Special Edition (Ebook)

BookFunnel Code: (generated by your purchase)

BookFunnel Link: (generated by your purchase)

Click the BookFunnel link for each product.

You’ll see options to:

  • email the files to yourself,

  • download the epub or PDF,

  • or send directly to Kindle (if you already have “Send to Kindle” enabled at Amazon).

    If you prefer, you can still pre-order the regular edition at Amazon—$4.99 without the bonus story and extras.

Housekeeping Notes

To avoid confusion (mostly mine!), I renamed Grounds for Hope—which is only one of the two novellas—to Hope and Grace: Stories from the Smiling Dog Café.

Also, Art Taylor runs a terrific blog analyzing the first two pages of a story. I recently participated—here’s my entry about George Clay:
