Things Are Beginning To Get Messy
HE SHOULD HAVE LEFT THAT DOG ALONE.
Middle-aged, jaded, and depressed, American expat Spencer disliked the man he had become. But extraordinary twists of fate pay no heed to such trivial circumstances. A chance meeting with a lost and dying dog named Shandy led to a nightmare that tested his sanity. That chance meeting ended up saving him, mostly from himself.
Spencer has finally found solace and purpose, running a charming B&B in southwest Ireland and cherishing a mended relationship with his estranged daughter. Happiness is finally found. It doesn’t last. Spencer realizes that the young couple’s inexplicable deaths near that wretched Irish abbey can mean only one thing: He will once again be dragged into a confrontation with a dark force that will stop at nothing to get what it wants.
He really should have left that dog alone…
Continue Spencer’s journey in this dark and twisty sequel to My Irish Dog.
My Irish Dog
Volume 1
An Unexpected Companion
(This is how it all began)
Spencer held on to the faintest of hope, but still he knew the trip to Ireland had almost no prospect of remedying his internal dilemma. Then again, he never imagined that a chance meeting with a lost and dying dog named Shandy would change his life forever.
Step into the small Irish village of Galbally, where the unwitting Spencer stumbles headfirst into a parallel world that will test his will, sanity, and even physical well-being.
Time and promise are running out. Will unnatural forces and events scare Spencer away before he can connect again with the mysterious dog? Will he find his way forward before Shandy meets her inevitable fate? Or will suspicious locals and a nefarious Dublin innkeeper force Spencer from the village before he completes his life-altering mission?
Follow Spencer as he races to save a little Irish dog named Shandy. If he only realized that it is Shandy who is trying to save him...
