A reader wrote, “Reading ‘Max’ is like watching a Disney romance. I loved it!” More! “Hi! My name is Max. Yes, I’m a dog and you’re probably a human reading this. Sure, I flunked out of guide dog training for disobeying commands, but did get high marks for personality, tail wagging, and my specialty - making humans happy. I’m so good at those, my favorite human Nate Pierson Innkeeper of The Two Turtles Inn, Sanibel Island Florida, named me Concierge in charge of Guest Happiness! I love every human I meet like Dr. Aaron Swift who stayed here after his fiance, Beth, dumped him for his best man right before their wedding! Aaron cancelled his honeymoon too late to get his deposit back so he stayed here for his “non-honeymoon.” As Concierge, I took him for walks and listened to his feelings before putting my own plan into action to mend his broken heart! I just happen to know a beautiful divorcee who might want to stroll with us. My friend Mariah wrote about Aaron and my ‘other adventures.’ She says I have a lot of complications to solve like Beth who keeps trying to make Aaron unhappy. Nate says I have a talent for this concierge business. So if you want to walk on the beach and chat, I’m the best dog for the job. You’ll see when you read my story! As Nate says ‘Always Bet on Fur!’ Thanks for listening! I’ll see you at the Two Turtles Inn!

The character of Max is based on my real-life Max who like the dog in the story loved people and other animals. Like the real Max, the Max in the story performed magic shows at our island rec center, served as a demonstration dog for talks by a representative from the no-kill shelter with which I was affiliated on the benefits of adopting a shelter dog, and loved to play with doggie toys. He shared his love with everyone. In the book, his love and loyalty made good things happen romantically for four couples. I sure could have used some of his unconditional love these past two years. 2022 and 2023 proved to be some of the most difficult to date. Hurricane Ian took a direct hit September 28 , 2022 sending a fifteen- foot storm surge to engulf the island we called home for over thirty years. We along with most islanders lost our home and everything in it. But even though many memories and personal treasures cannot be replaced, it’s the people, our family and friends and our pets, that are most important to our lives. My sweet Max would remind all of us to hold our loved ones close, to be kind and caring, and help those in need. Everything else will fall into place. I hope you have fun reading about how Max helps people fall in love! I sure had fun writing it! About the Author
