A Happy Misunderstanding and the Power of Collaboration

Dear Friends,

As many of you know, I’m working with an agent and an editor on my third novel, Finding Imogene. We’ve exchanged multiple drafts for their feedback over the past six months, and in my humble opinion, we’ve made a great team – I love working with them and look forward to a long-term relationship. But when I submitted what I thought would be my final-final-final draft two months ago and waited for their praise, they instead responded along these lines:

Now Available: The Audiobook for In the Doghouse by Teri Case

At long last, Skip has a voice–or at least the talented Jeremy Basko’s voice. In the Doghouse is now available as an audiobook and listed with over thirty vendors. If your preferred vendor isn’t offering it yet, such as B&N, let me know and I’ll check on the status. And if your library isn’t offering it, ask them to. There are several vendor options for libraries.

Also, if you already purchased the book via Amazon, Audible.com has the Whispersync program which usually offers a discount on the audiobook price for those who purchased via Amazon.

Thanks for being you and for being on this journey with Skip, Lucy, Manny, Thomas and me.

A Review of Fellow Finalist Rob Hiaasen’s Float Plan

My Review of Float Plan

In last week’s newsletter, I shared the incredible news that Tiger Drive has been nominated for the Benjamin Franklin Award in Popular Fiction. I’m reading the other three finalists’ books. I started with Rob Hiaasen’s Float Plan.

Before I share the synopsis and my review, you should be the first to know, I wish I knew Rob Hiaasen. His novel, Float Plan, has planted a firm author-crush from me onto him because he and I have* something in common: we both write about flawed characters who want to matter.

Want to be in my new book trailer?

Vitality Stories

In the Doghouse by Teri Case

Coming to a Dog Park Near You in 2019

Want to be in the book trailer?

Dear Friend,

I’m working on the book trailer for In the Doghouse: a couple’s breakup from their dog’s point of view.

If you’d like to be in the trailer, please send me a picture of one of the following. You need to own the photo:

A photo of you with your pet(s)*
A happy photo with your partner
An argument or discussion with your partner (feel free to stage this one, please don’t really get in an argument)
A photo with a family member
A photo of your favorite co-workers or clients**

I’m still a starving artist so you won’t be compensated, but you will get bragging rights, and your name will be in the credits at the end. I may not be able to use everyone’s pictures, but I’m going to do my best. To send the picture, email it to me at teri@tericase.com or tag me on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter*** And please feel free to share this newsletter with friends.

Need some music to inspire you? Here is the song being used for the trailer of In the Doghouse. It’s called “Loves Gotta Look” by Zoetica. They gave me permission to use it for the trailer!
