Booksigning at Changing Hands August 9th
July 24th, 2008 by RobinWe are very excited about our upcoming booksigning at Changing Hands Bookstore on Saturday, August 9th at 11 am. Max’s little sister, Amber, our 7-year-old Airedale Terrier, will accompany me to the event which is designed for the whole family. In addition, to telling a little a bit about Airedale Terriers, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite Max tales about living life to the fullest and reading from my book. People who buy my book during this event will be helping to support rescue because 10% of the book price will be donated to Southwest Airedale Terrier Rescue. In addition, with every book purchase during this event, buyers will receive a free pewter pet tag that says, “Live Life to the MAX.” This pet tag has a retail value of $4.50, so this is really a good deal. If you know a dog lover who has a birthday coming up or you know someone who is suffering a pet loss, this is a great time to stock up on these books, get a little something extra to boot and support a worthy cause.
If you’ve never been to Changing Hands, you’re really in for a treat. This store is a treasure with its extensive stock of bestseller and hard-to-find books, unique gifts and lots of interesting activities. At a time when many independent bookstores have been closing their doors, Changing Hands is showing everyone-including the big chains-how to make bookstores an exciting and successful venue. In fact, they were named Publisher Weekly’s 2007 Bookseller of the Year.
I hope you will join Amber and me with a Max celebrity list of guests including Dr. Tracy Wight of McClintock Animal Care Center, Shelly Ambrose of Shelly’s Pet Grooming, Elizabeth Vaughan of Fairwinds Pet Memorial Services, Patricia Zebuth of Southwest Airedale Terrier Rescue and Terry Rohrs, NICE Creative graphic designer and Life to the Max illustrator. Changing Hands is located at 6428 S McClintock Dr., Tempe, AZ 85283 which is at the intersection of McClintock and Guadalupe. Their phone number is 480-730-0205. See you there August 9th at 11 a.m.!

I think that it is wonderful a portion of sales will go to support a rescue effort for purebreds. I have grown up with pound puppies my whole life and wasn’t sure that it was so easy to find purebred dogs to rescue. I did a little research and found a rescue organization for just about every breed that I could think of. If everyone knew about these, maybe it would eventually put neglectful, inhumane puppy mills out of business! Way to go Max!

Oh what fun! Wish I lived closer to you - I’d be there with Spencer in heart beat! Changing Hands sounds like a book lover’s delight, and I love how you are helping the sweet little pound puppies!
