Name: Cider

Appearance: He has amber-brown hair, dark brown eyes, a permanent smile, two left feet… Oh, did I mention yet that he’s a dog? 😉 He’s a mixed breed, a little smaller than a golden retriever and a little more energetic than a tornado.

Occupation: Loving on his humans and playing fetch (as well as other games. Cider is very good at these games. Just ask him.)

Writing Style (Click Here if confused): Third Person, Present Tense. Because, frankly, there is no way to describe the mind of this creature without using right-here, right-now kinds of words. Example: “Olivia hears the tea-kettle whistling and smiles because it is now her very favorite part of the morning.”

What does he want? Treats, or cuddles, or both. But cuddles are always better.

I think it probably goes without saying that writing Cider was one of the most enjoyable parts of this whole project. In fact, I talked about him so much that one of my friends started referring to the novel as “Olivia’s Book with the Dog.”
