“Never” Book Series

I didn’t set out to write a book series. I simply wanted to preserve the memories of growing up with so many entertaining and exotic pets—primarily for my children and for friends and family who found the stories particularly funny. When the first book in the series, Never Buy a Raccoon at a Gas Station, was published, it became an Amazon bestseller during its first week. In this first book, you’ll meet our pet raccoon, Bandit.

In response to customer requests for more stories, the second book in the series was born, titled Never Put an Alligator in Your Car. It became a #1 New Release during its first week on Amazon. In Never Put an Alligator in Your Car, you’ll meet silver foxes, a margay, leopard cats, South American ostriches, alpacas, miniature horses, pygmy goats, skunks, opossums, and yes, an alligator in our car.

The series finale, Never Hide a Horse in the Freezer, brings you through the rest of my childhood and introduces more recent pet adventures. It’s currently available for pre-order and will be released November 26, 2019.

While Book 1 focused on stories of the family’s pet raccoon, Bandit, Book 2 tells the stories of so many other animals that became part of the family through the years. Book 3 shows the lasting impact in more recent animal adventures sparked by such a unique childhood.
