Author JD Holiday Spotlight



Today, I'd like to welcome author JD Holiday to the Realm. JD's book, The Spy Game, was released in August, and is already receiving rave reviews. Welcome JD!

What happens when you end up with a dog you don’t want and only stares? 



















About the Book:

Eddie would love to have a puppy to play with. A puppy would pull on a rope. Catch a
ball and lick your face. But his Uncle brings Eddie an older dog named after a famous
spy. What can you do with an old dog? It probably couldn't learn new tricks and the only
thing this dog did was stare. It's what they find to do together that makes them the best of
friends!

                                                            Inspiration Behind The Spy Game



            This story is based on a puppy my brother, Ike's dog, Sheeba had. He ask me to take this puppy he named, Sidney Reilly after a spy series he and I watched together and loved.  At the time I had a dog and didn't think my older dog, Snoopy would be happy with a new addition.
            My brother said okay, but he felt sure this dog was for me and he kept it with that in mind. When the puppy was 11 months old, my brother, Ike died of a heart attack and Sidney came to me, I was wrong. Snoopy and Sidney got along in their own way. 
            Though this did not happen in real live, in The Spy Game I have my brother bring Sidney to my house to live.
