A Beginner’s Guide to Separation Anxiety

Portia Weaver’s life is … complicated.

There’s that outrageous swap-o-rama scam her ex-husband, the man she still idolizes, is running. Then there’s that imminent end to a career she’s had … forever.

And, let’s not forget …

 

And, let’s not forget … those despicable dognappers, a cat with murderous intent, to-die-for international desserts, conspiring weasels, cycling ladies, a budding love-interest potter … and, the unexpected arrival of a greyhound who just happens to talk … human. As Portia stumbles through her complications and obligations, the latter dictated by the dog, both human and canine discover ‘that something’ they’ve always wanted but never thought to expect.

About the Author …

Jo van Hoogmoed

Portia Weaver and I share many attributes. We both had lengthy careers in high-tech and embraced life without log-on when retirement loomed. Where our paths deviate, Hillary, my retired racing greyhound, has never once accused me of enormity-of-stupid, nor dismissed cycling as a pointless endeavour. In fact, Hillary has kept her own counsel in all conversations and on all observations.

I live in Orangeville Ontario. It’s a charming century town, northwest of Toronto but a mere stone’s throw from the best of Ontario’s paddling, hiking and biking trails, forests and lakes.

I also have the incredible fortune of belonging to a loud, joyful family — sons and sisters, daughters-in-law and brothers-in-law, and nieces and nephews aplenty.

Lucky me!
