Animal Advocacy by M.J. Claire

People who know me are not surprised that a recurring theme in my stories is the humane treatment of animals. The key word here being - humane. We all need to remember that we, as human beings, do not have a monopoly on suffering. Animals, whether they be four-legged with fur or covered in feathers, scales or fins, feel pain. They can also communicate with us.



Anyone who has formed a bond with a beloved pet knows that they are not the unthinking doorstops that some people believe they are. So, whether it be the animal testing labs that are killing animals in the name of better cosmetics, the unthinking business owner who leaves their dog tied outside in all kinds of weather to guard their cherished junk cars or the thoughtless pet owner who does not have their cats spayed because 'the kittens are so cute' but them dumps them off at the nearest farmhouse to fend for themselves, I will be endeavoring to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.





Hopefully some of you will do the same and report the careless person who leaves their dog in a baking car while they run in to do some shopping or the clueless person who puts their dog at risk of hanging by tying them on their deck.



We are supposed to be the intelligent species. Lets start acting like it. My books speak primarily to kids who need to see that there is a better way to treat the other beings that share this planet with us. Kids that need to realize that animals deserve more respect and better treatment. Kids that need to see that there is a better way to cohabitate with our smaller, more vulnerable companions.
There is a better way. Let's find it.

Publishing in Today's Tough Economy by Janus Kane

Is there ever a good time to start a venture of this magnitude? Entering the complex world of publishing is a daunting endeavor under the best of circumstance. These are certainly not the best circumstances. With businesses folding all around us, what besides temporary insanity would prompt such an undertaking?
The answer is simple. There has never been a greater need for a little dose of healthy escapism. What, other than a good book, can better transport us out of the sea of troubled waters that is now our reality? What else can give your mind the kind of vacation that it so desperately craves?
A good book may not cure your problems. It won't make them go away. But, perhaps it will put us in a better frame of mind to come back and deal with them. And even if it doesn't, it will still give us those blessed hours where we can focus on someone else's problems, someone else's life, someone else's story - all for less than the price of a take-out pizza.
March Books is all about bringing good stories to eager readers. We believe in good, healthy escapism - wherever and whenever you can get it.
