The Dog Coffee Book - School Visit

Thank you, students and teachers at Shaw Road Elementary, for making our latest reading of The Dog Coffee Book a success!

The Dog Coffee - Free to Teachers

When we wrote The Dog Coffee Book, we intended it to be a useful book for schools and wrote a small clause into the copyright label to allow it for educational use. Now, we are excited to announce that we are going to provide free digital copies to schools or school affiliations.

We'll be posting more details soon!

With some sadness...

With some sadness, we report that we are all done. We just have a couple of people we are working out the final details with for their rewards. After that, we can give a good solid "mission accomplished" to the successful creation and publishing of our very first book!

Updates - December 18th

Here are some new previews of pages from The Dog Coffee Book. We are in the final stretch for distribution of the promotional copy that will be awarded to our Kickstarter supporters. It will include some early sketches and a special note from the author and illustrator. A ebook version will be available in the later part of January. Our goal for physical print is February with distribution in March.

Family Drawings

We are in the last stages of drawing the owners. That will be the last of the first round of drawings. Just four more families then we begin final clean up.

Three Day Countdown...

Give The People What They Want!

We've met our original goal for getting "The Dog Coffee Book" printed! That's great news! We did it using Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/amb/the-dog-coffee-book) and we got such great feedback, that it was clear our fans wanted more. So, we decided to set some "stretch" goals. If we raised extra funds toward the printing of the book, we would add extra dog characters to the story. And people responded!


Because of the amazing support, we've added these three new pooches to our cast of "The Dog Coffee Book." Thank you so much for all of your encouragement, everyone!

The Dog Coffee Book: Puppy Stage

Have you ever wondered what dogs would talk about if they got together for coffee? Well, illustrator Adam Botsford did, and shortly thereafter, "The Dog Coffee Book" was born. Adam teamed up with me, author Suzanne Akerman, to create a cast of quirky dogs and their quirky owners, who are featured in this introductory book. Eventually, we plan to launch this into a series of children's books with an important message emphasizing diversity and companionship.

We decided to help get this project funded through Kickstarter. Immediately, there were others interested in seeing these adorable dogs tell their stories of their owners, and we reached our original goal in less than two days! The page can be found here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/amb/the-dog-coffee-book, where you can see some examples of the illustrations as well as a new "stretch" goal we've set for ourselves and our supporters.

So if you like dogs, diversity, coffee, or any combination thereof, you'll love "The Dog Coffee Book"!
