PetLifeRadio.com - Pet Peeves Episode 45 The Write (Pet) Stuff: Dogged Research & Furry Muses

Summary: Pet lovers enjoy novels that include dogs and cats, but the author better get the facts right!

We purr with delight when authors include real-life characters and their pets-- and bestselling author John Gilstrap’s latest thriller, No Mercy includes a tribute to his own furry muse. John also shares his take on author responsibility, and whether writers should worry about giving bad guys dangerous ideas.
