    About The Authors
    Jenny and I have been friends since 1988. Our lives are now polarized as Jenny is retired and now lives in the rural utopian beauty of Northwest Arkansas. Whereas, I still continue to work my own mobile pet grooming in Southern California. Both of us acquired our professional industry certifications in 1990 and 1991. Together, we have a combined grooming experience of over sixty years. Our friend Michael, although not a pet groomer, obtained his Master’s Degree from the University of Southern California. During his career as a psychotherapist, he performed ghostwriting for various scholars and colleagues contributing to articles in professional periodical journals, books, and was a consultant for novels. We are all life-long animal lovers and strive to improve their quality of life through excellent care, compassion, and education. We treasure our friendship, and continue surround ourselves with our families, friends and our four-legged companions who are hold a special place in our hearts.

2LHG Is Going To Oprah Winfrey's Desk.

My co-authors and I couldn't resist this offer from our publisher and we immediately responded for this chance:

"The queen of daytime TV is giving it one more year, and then it's over. No one has done more for bringing books to the attention of millions. PublishAmerica was there in 2003 when Oprah Winfrey announced to select book publishers that she was relaunching her famous book club, donation in hand for her Angel Network. PublishAmerica is here today to bring as many talented authors to her show's attention for its final year as we can.

Publish America will put your book in the hands of Oprah's staff.  Five copies, so that more than one staffer gets a chance to read your work!

We're not waiting for the Oprah show to ask for your book. We're donating it to them and we will let your local newspaper, radio, or TV know that your book is being submitted to Oprah Winfrey. Yet another reason for them to put the spotlight on you as a local author."

Some of you may already know that Oprah Winfrey is a HUGE animal lover and that she has actual "nannies" to care for her own personal pets. With that premise in mind, it is our hope that 2 Lion-Hearted Groomers ... will capture Oprah's attention and more importantly, the appeal of our story to be aired on her show. We're keeping our fingers crossed on this one. 

Thank you for stopping by.

A Review From Lisa Leady, N. C. M. G.

We are thrilled and deeply humbled to have just received this glowing review from our very own Lisa Leady, N. C. M. G., the owner of Primp My Pooch....

"I have found 2 Lion-Hearted Groomers ... Leigh & Eileen's Journey to be a truly warm and inspirational story of two women who overcame countless obstacles to achieve their dreams. It should help renew everyone's faith in the infinite power of the human spirit. The authors Donna, Virginia and Michael have created a "must read" for every groomer and non-groomer! Good Luck!

... Sincerely, Lisa Leady, N. C. M. G."

 

Thank you for stopping by.
