    About this ebook

    Dear possible reader of this book,

    After I wrote my first book, It Came from Beneath the Bed!, my editor asked me to write another one. (Another one! This is hard work! I'd like to see him write another one!) So anyway...in this book the lovable and smart (not to mention talented) wirehaired dachshund puppy named Howie and his friend, the beautiful and brilliant Delilah, face their biggest challenge yet: the Mind Swappers from Asteroid 6!™ Along the way Delilah gets turned into a squirrel and has to beg for acorns. (Hey, don’t ask me! Read the book!)

    Your friend, Howie

    Dear Howie Monroe:

    I am in receipt of the manuscript of your book, It Came from Beneath the Bed! I found the tale gripping and would be honored if you would allow me to publish it. However, I believe it would work best as part of a series. Please send me another book as soon as possible. When I have received it, I will send you a contract and a check.

    Sincerely yours,

    The Editor

    HOWIE’S WRITING JOURNAL

    Wow! Uncle Harold sent my first book, It came from Beneath the Bed!, to his editor, and he’s going to publish it! Now I’m not just a writer, I’m author!!!!

    The only problem is, I have to write another book.

    Writing one book was Fun. But having to write another one sounds like work!

    What if I used up all my ideas on the first book? what if I never have another idea again? Ever?!

    Wait a minute, I can’t give up before I even start. Let’s See. The first book was called It Came from Beneath the Bed!, So maybe I can call the Second one It Came from Behind the Refrigerator!

    or It Came from Inside the Garbage can!

    or It came from Around the Corner of the woodshed when the moon was Full and the zombies Howled!

    Good one. or . . .

    I’m getting a headache. It came From too much thinking!

    Who am I kidding? I’m not an author, I’m just a lovable, adorable, Smart, and talented wirehaired dachshund puppy who got lucky.

    What if I were an author, though? I mean, like a person author? what would it be like to be someone other than me?

    What if I
