“Keith’s lifelong obsession was to produce a line of bookmarks that were pictures of dog’s ears.
‘Like a German Shepherd ear, a Poodle ear, a Chihuahua ear.’
‘For the bookish dog owner?’ Lucy ventured.
‘For everyone,’ Keith answered, puzzled that she was not fully on board with the genius of the idea. ‘Dog ears,’ he said. ‘Get it?’
Lucy supported Keith’s fantasy by allowing him to think that a bookmark could earn someone millions.” ~From The Hard Way
Dog Ear Bookmarks by Keith
I’ll be signing books at Borders on Rt. 611in Stroudsburg, PA on Saturday (July 19) from 1pm to 3pm. Stop by an see me if you’re in the area. I’ll have some super spiffy “Dog Ear Bookmarks.” If you read The Hard Way, you might recognize them as Lucy’s boyfriend Keith’s big business idea. (Excerpt above.)
If you can’t make it, but have a bookstore in mind that you think I should visit, send me the address and I’ll set it up. I’ll have Keith print more bookmarks just for you.

Very nice! Always good to offer a collectible. But which kind of dog is that there?

That’s a German Shepard, Poodle, Chihuahua mix – a Ger-She-Poo-Hua. Or B for short.

I’ve heard you can actually use a dog as a bookmark albeit only pomeranians, chihuahuas, and those of the smallish type. See you tomorrow, I’m coming as Alberto, the #1 Fan of Julie Luongo said in a faux spanish accent.

Ah, B brought the book home from the book signing. I had my day off planned, housework, dirty laundry, a love affair with my steam cleaner. The usual duties that give me a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction……He opened the book to the acknowledgment page and I flushed! Wow, me? I was honored and gushed when you asked me to read the draft, but my name in print too??? Well, the least I could do was re-read a chapter or too before tackling my house duties…..The floor is filthy, dirty laundry is still dirty, my steam cleaner has gone cold and the book is finished and once again throughly enjoyed! Your book was the perfect way to spend a day off.
I could use another day off, when’s your next book coming out?
