COMING SOON TO AN ONLINE BOOKSTORE!
If you love dogs and action-packed adventures, you’ll love The Junkyard. This salute to friendship takes readers on a beautifully illustrated adventure through the twisting tunnels, hidden rooms, and secret hideaways of a world that can be found in our hometowns and cities.
The dogs of The Junkyard belong to one of two rival tribes. Both tribes must follow strict rules and keep the peace to avoid the junkyard's cruel owner, Mr. Fergusen, and the dreaded put down place—where rule-breaking dogs go and are never seen again.
Can the dogs of The Junkyard follow the rules and keep the peace when one of them is hungry for power, and a dangerous forest creature is plotting against them?
The Junkyard will be available for purchase in early 2026. Join our mailing list today to receive the first two chapters, launch updates, contest announcements, and an email that will ask you which dog or animal charity you’d like The Junkyard to support with a portion of its proceeds.
Some introductions are in order!
Scroll down to meet some
of the characters you’ll find in
The Junkyard.
HEROIC WARRIOR or RIGHTEOUS COWARD?
A Pit Bull who would rather die than hurt another dog. But if she doesn’t fight and “put on a good show” for Mr. Fergusen, she and her opponent will be punished, or sent to the dreaded put-down place.
What will she do when she’s forced to fight?
JUSTIFIED AVENGER or CRUEL MONSTER?
A Gray Wolf who lives in the forest beyond the junkyard’s northern fence. He hates the junkyard and craves revenge on two of its residents. But approaching the junkyard is forbidden by a ferocious Grizzly Bear.
Will the wolf seek his revenge and invite the Grizzly's wrath?
A FRIEND WORTH
FIGHTING FOR?
A slobbery Bulldog who is a terribly slow runner, but always finishes first in the hearts of his friends.
Will being likable save him from harm?
