Ch. Nani's Crossroads 'N Sanbar (also known as "Roada" at home) is Nancy DeMere's beloved "fam."

I just finished your book and absolutely loved it. -- Nancy DeMere, St. Louis, MO






 
I once read a great deal of science fiction and found Haint to be up there with a top few...Clarke, Lem, Cherryh, Le Guin, Stephenson, Dick, Gibson, Herbert...
.
You created an alternate world from the one we know and made it believable. You told a harrowing story that was vivid and touching. The resolution with the space vehicle and the dogs that elected to stay behind was very moving, satisfying and the kind of thing that dogs could/would do.  And throughout the book, the journey into the dog's minds was terrific.
 
It may be that for some of those poor souls who have had no personal experience with dogs to relate to, the book may initially be difficult. But they would be the exception. For everyone else, and especially for anyone who has a sense of what a dog is, your book is a unique and special experience. Many times, reading some of the authors I  mentioned above, it took me a while before the author's voice and vision drew me in. In this case, I was with you from the beginning.
 
I congratulate you on a truly original and special book and I wish you  great success.
Sincerely,
Robert McCarty
Author of Planet of the Dogs

Haint: A Tale of Extraterrestrial Intervention and Love Across Time and Space, by Joy Ward.

WOW, what a book. Unlike anything I’ve read before! I highly recommend it. Although the main canine characters are Weimaraners, it’s not a “breed” book – you’ll find this book fascinating whether you live with Weims or Chihuahuas or Heinz 57 types. 

 

This book will get you thinking about your life and your relationship with your dog(s) in a different way
