BIG NEWS! Merrie's New Children's Book, Lucy the Lake Dog - Pre-Sale Coming Late May
Lucy is a curious chocolate Labrador retriever who lives at a house on the lake with her family. She would love to run free and explore all the things she loves about the lake, but in the end, she realizes the importance of family and how they know best about her well being.
I am so thrilled to announce a project I have been working on for a long time, Lucy the Lake Dog! I wrote it after watching our lovable chocolate lab, Lucy explore everything at the lake, including swimming, watching the blue herons and riding on the boat. Lake life is pure joy for her as it is for our whole family!
I am so fortunate to have beloved Kansas City artist, Jacqueline Kerr as the illustrator for Lucy the Lake Dog. Not only is her artwork precious, communicating the real feel of Lucy, but it is an accurate representation of our home, our property and our boat at the lake! If you follow along with Seasons of the Lake, you will see it all in Lucy the Lake Dog, right down to the bedspreads on the beds.
Don't miss the Pre-Sale later this month! Get your own copy signed by Merrie AND Lucy.
A portion of each book sale will be donated to KC Pet Project. Scroll down for more information.
Follow Lucy on her own Instagram account @lucy.thelakedog.

The lake is a place where you can relax and reflect. It's a place where others feel welcome and accepted, where you lose track of time. As we travel through each Season at the Lake, I hope you will enjoy this website as much as I enjoy sharing it with you.
I just started following you on Instagram and have enjoyed reading your blog. We also live on a lake in Texas.
