Smoky Mountain tales.🐾 Book Signing Event – Waynesville, NC! 🐾📚
Join us at Smoky Mountain Dog Bakery (171 Montgomery St., Waynesville, NC) on Friday, December 6th for a special book signing with author Walter A. Cook!
✨ Featured Novel: The Ruff Patch: When a Rescue Dog Becomes a Revolutionary ✨
A heartwarming political comedy about democracy, determination, and dogs who refuse to roll over.
What happens when an eleven-year-old activist, a pack of traumatized rescue dogs, and a small Ohio town collide with corporate greed? Democracy gets messy—and hilarious. With unforgettable characters like Franklin the Rottweiler, Cooper the PTSD-afflicted police dog, and Mikey Cook, a young activist learning the ropes of grassroots organizing, this feel-good satire proves that ordinary people (and pets) can spark extraordinary change.
📖 Perfect for readers who love:
• Underdog stories with actual underdogs
• Political satire that’s funny and insightful
• Small-town activism against corporate gentrification
• Found family tales featuring humans and animals
• Heartwarming stories of healing through community
