YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO....

http://www.susan-keefe.com/meet-the-authors/olyn-warfield-2

And why would you want to go there, you ask?

Because Omar and I are very excited about our write up in the Meet The Authors-Book Reviews by author/magazine editor Susan Keefe.

There are reviews and comments included about our Omar Blue saga, by adults and children. Omar especially likes this comment by Peter, an 8 year old little boy.

"Omar Blue is a big dog and I would like to meet him. It would be lots of fun to be with all these dogs and play with them all because I like dogs very much. I think Omar Blue would take care of me and be my best friend."

When I read this to Omar he said (in that way I somehow understand) how he'd love to meet little Peter and take him to meet his K9 Town pack. There was a familiar glint in his eyes. Then I realized what he was thinking. Noooo Omar. You can't take little Peter to K9 Town!!!

After I fully, fully explained why, he understood.

Look Who Came To See Us

Lab-Dalmatian Major Diggs (second in charge at K-9 Town) and Standard Poodle Sophie Jean the schoolmarm and Rottweiler Brady's wife wanted to see what they call Omar's "people home." We put on collars, leads, and took them for a long walk. They liked it okay but we could tell they were ready to go back to their home after just a little while. Professor Brady didn't want to come but he knew Sophie was in the best of paws, between Omar and the Major. Omar doesn't take chances with his pack. I could swear I saw the Rodesian Ridgeback bodyguards Koffee and Tee when they all were headed back to K-9 Town. I certainly wouldn't want to tackle that group.

Penny's back with a message from the K-9 Town males.

Omar says it was nothing to worry about. This time I believed him. I could swear he and Penny were chuckling. He told me later that the males were whooping it up at K-9 Town and wanted their leader with them. Seems the females are changing, since Ms. Bee Bee's arrival and they ain't havin' it. Penny was rushing to get back. What are those females up to? That little Springer Spaniel is so carefree. Omar has Rhodesian Ridgebacks Koffe and Tee following her, most places. Can't take any chances on her safety.

Omar Blue and K-9 Town, leaves the reader with the unforgettable experience of having met a wonderland of characters. The talent was truly revealed upon my discovery that the breeds truly exist! With mounting adventure, O. Warfield skillfully teaches and encourages, while enticing the reader to willfully become a citizen of K-9 Town. Children will be entertained for hours. A fantastic read for the young and mature!

This review is from: Omar Blue and K-9 Town, USA Paperback)

Omar Blue and K-9 Town, USA - I have to say that when I saw the book - slim in size I thought at first it was going to be detailed with facts about dogs, so thankfully it was short and to the point. I never ruffled through the book to get a glimpse of what my eyes were about to enjoy. I took it to my desk and planned to take a sneak peak. After the 3rd page I was hooked. Literally I could not put the book down - the stories are delightful, and I felt like I was right in the middle of action with the K-9's. Darn the phone is ringing - put the book down - great wrong number - back to the stories. Before I knew it I was on chapter 8, and I decided I to stop reading so that I could savor the rest of the book on a slower pace. The author made this a fun, easy to read book, and the problems presented, along with the way they were solved relate to life - trusting, leadership, teamwork, diversity and so much more. Its a great book for any age bracket. I think each age group will relate to it differently based on their own unique set of challenges.

Hiya O. Thanks for adding me as a friend! I've just read your book (Omar Blue) here on your page. I'm not really a 'dog' sort of person to be honest with you, but I found myself really engaging with the characters and the story. It felt to me that there were alot of (successful) metaphorical references to human colonisation experiences. I really liked it. The characters are three-dimensional and vividly painted, and it doesn't feel as if the story is struggling to fit into the 'rhyming verse' of the poem, which it would if it weren't so well written. Omar Blue is a convincing hero - I'm curious to see what happens next! Cheers! Nick - Goodreads

This review is from: Omar Blue and K-9 Town, USA (Kindle Edition)

Although I could have read this little book in one sitting, I took my time. During each reading, I found myself engrossed in the lives of the denizens of K-9 Town, USA and became completely absorbed. It is delightful and very relaxing, and appropriate for children and adults, alike. Kudos to Ms. Warfield. What a fun and clever book. I recommend it highly.

Omar Blue - An Excellent Review

Omar and Pack show off in Europe. Read reviews for Omar Blue and K-9 Town, USA, including latest at http://www.amazon.com/Omar-Blue-K-9-Town-USA/product-reviews/1452892318/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

People over there have also heard about Omar and his Pack's next adventure, Led By An Eagle. Going to meet Omar's "biological" kin. Some of their furry friends have already left home to join the Pack. Seems family and friends of Omar's followers want to join the adventure. I'm getting my stories together for the people parents. Somehow they always end up at my door. I'm taking pictures of the dogs that come through here to show you all. Big ones, little ones, mixed breeds, rare breeds, they're all the same at K-9 Town. I even noticed a few rough looking street urchins. Omar says don't worry, they know the rules and they won't be going back now that they've found us, they'll be fine. Showdogs Scarlett and Casper couldn't wait to get here along with a few others. Oh boy! I haven't seen them since the last wild K-9 Town party. Don't want to say "that" word too loud.

Anyway, I'll be back with the pictures soon. I'll show you I'm not making this true tale up. In the meantime if anyone wants to get ahead by reading a free sample or getting the Kindle Ebook version of Led By An Eagle go to http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Omar-Blue-Saga-ebook/dp/B008S2H7IU/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1344991415&sr=1-1&keywords=Led+By+An+Eagle

Only $3.99.

Paperback will be available from Amazon and other purchasing sources within the next week.

AMAZON REVIEW - 4 Stars

I'm very proud that one of Amazon's top reviewers gave Omar Blue and K-9 Town, USA a very good review. 4 Stars out of 5 ain't bad at all.

I understand his only criticism and guess I have to agree. I'm not saying what it is. See for yourself. That will come, but for now I'm pretty happy. He even mentioned it could be the next best seller in its genre. That's good stuff! Visit the link I've supplied below and see what else "Wulfstan" has to say about Omar Blue and K-9 Town, USA.
