This week we wrap up our insider look at three things you didnāt know about authors Barbara McMahon and Debra Salonenāor their Valentineās Day stories. š
My friend Barbara is full of surprises. Earlier this month, she and her husband moved to Wisconsin. Iām sniffling since I wonāt get to ride BART with her to our annual San Francisco Un-Con, but Iām happy to know sheās out of the āfire zoneā in northern California. Her two dogs moved, too, including her beloved German Shepherd, which is the breed of dog in her story.
VALENTINEāS RESCUE by Barbara McMahon
- The dog in Valentineās Rescue is a German Shepherd, my favorite breed, though Border Collies are a very close second.
- Cowboys are my favorite heroes.
- Valentineās Rescue is the first book in the Wild Cat Creek series coming in Spring, 2021.

And last but not least, me. You already know I have a love of donkeys, but did you know that love started when I used to walk a quiet country road and would pass a pasture that held an ancient mule and a younger, much-smaller donkey? The mule would mosey over to the fence to say hello every time I passed by. The donkey remained aloofāscornful evenā¦until the day the old mule wasnāt there. š From that point on, the donkey was my pal, either because he was missing his friend or a desire to carry on the tradition. Sadly, traffic made walking that road too risky so I donāt go that way anymore. But I still love donkeys.
