A snippet from the book for you to listen to!📕 🐾

Fang and Blade are brothers. Both are Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Fang a striking blue-grey with very large fangs and Blade is black with long untrimmed claws. They once slept curled up together as pups before their owner changed them into what he wanted them to become. Forced into dogfighting from a young age, the brothers were pitted against each other in the ring and expected to live in peace afterwards, as though nothing had happened between them. The line between the two blurred more with every fight, until Fang, desperate to stay loyal to the only home and owner he’d ever known, turned that loyalty into aggression. Whilst Blade, sickened by what they'd become, refused to carry on. Their story is one of the book's most difficult threads: how cruelty can turn love into something unrecognisable, and how even after the deepest damage, the bond between them is never entirely destroyed.

OUT NOW! 😬😬😬

Old, unwanted, and out of time.
Maisie spent years locked away as a breeding dog, forgotten the moment she stopped being useful. When a storm finally sets her free, she finds something she never thought she'd have: freedom.
However, Maisie's freedom is short lived and happiness doesn't last. Before long, Maisie finds herself somewhere far worse than the puppy farm she escaped: a dog pound, with a clock ticking down to her final day.
She's not alone for long when she meets a gang of unlikely friends, each carrying their own secret and their own scars.
Time's running out. Will Maisie and her newfound friends manage to change their destiny?

Poundies: Maisie's Great Escape is a story about the family you find when you've lost everything else, and how far love will go to bring you home.
