Phineas The Dog

Despite having many things in common with my good buddy Joe The Dog -- as I too am cute, handsome, smart, brave, funny, and sweet -- one of his many talents that I admittedly lack is drawing.

Drawing, painting, etching, sketching -- sadly, none of these skills will be appearing on my resumé any time soon.

And though I'm not the kinda-guy who makes lame excuses for every obstacle that gets in his path, I hafta say that not having posable thumbs (or is it opposable thumbs?) is just a tad restrictive when it comes to doing any work requiring, well, (op)posable thumbs.

I've tried my paw at photography.  I was able to at least click on that button dealie, but had quite a time trying to hold the bloody thing straight all the while attempting to turn that focus contraption.  (See "Photography" for a sample of my work.)  At any rate. . .

[Small Buttons + Crazy Dials] x No Thumbs = Ridiculous Difficulty Taking Pix

Okay.  So I can't draw, I can't paint, I can't steady myself and focus.  Does this mean I'm condemned to a life devoid of art?  How ever will I express myself?

Using the same noggin' that forged a path through Momma Bomma's red tape (see "My Short Story" for full details), it dawned on me that I happen to have quite a knack for pawing through Momma Bomma's photos (and boy, does she have A LOT. . . especially of Yours Truly) and putting them to words.  Hmmm. . .

Mom's Photos + My Undeniable Talent w/ Words = One eAuthor Extraordinaire

So far I've only finished one eBook (and bear in mind it's just a rough draft), but check back paw-rediocially (sorry, I couldn't help it) for my latest additions.  Or if you prefer, you can join my mailing list and I'll email you the new stories as they become available (i.e., when I take time from my incredibly hectic schedule of ball-fetching, cookie-eating, and dog-napping).  Mind you, if Momma Bomma happens to already have your email address, you are on the mailing list by default, and you're in for quite a treat -- an involuntary lifetime subscription to Phineas eBooks. (I know, I know.  Just what you've always wanted.)

Anyway, click HERE to read my debut eBook.  And please people, no
paw-tographs.  (Wouldja lookit that, I went and did it again. . .)
