More from Kim Lengling:
“Unconditional love is just a belly rub away! Paw Prints on the Couch is a collection of touching pet stories from individuals whose hearts have been forever marked by a furry friend and includes bonus perspectives from furry storytellers, Dexter and Kitsie. From the humorous to the sad, Paw Prints on the Couch shares personal memories that refuse to fade”
Opinion:
“Although our animals’ lives seem short, they are here for as long as they are meant to be.” Kim Lengling has put together a thoughtful assortment of authentic pet stories that embrace hellos and goodbyes. Written by various authors, each story elicits genuine emotion. Readers will find themselves laughing one moment and welling up the next. Like the Chicken Soup books, Paw Prints on the Couch feeds the human spirit. And the quotes about pets are a real “treat.” Fans of inspirational and heartwarming stories will not want to miss this one! _ Lit Pick
About Global Book Awards
The Global Awards aim to discover new talent as well as recognize fine examples of self-published books. As such, we hope they will give self-published authors the recognition they deserve, whether that is in their writing creativity, or in the way they have marketed their books to attract new readers. In this modern age of self-publishing, books need to be appraised not only by their content and writing style, but also by the way they present and market themselves to the prospective buyer, whether that is in the good ratings it has on important stores like Amazon, its book cover and description, or the number of reviews it has collected. They must also appeal to new readers so part of the evaluation included a survey asking avid readers to select the top 5 books they enjoyed the most
