Where impossible tales take flight™

National Rescue Dog Day comes every May 20th, a day to recognize and honor these extraordinary animals. Whether celebrating your own furry friend or seeking to adopt a new one, please don't overlook the beauty, wisdom, and loyalty of senior dogs. Our Maisie Moon may have inspired a superhero's sidekick in the novel The Sylver Platter: Becoming, but in real life, she's the star of the show. Senior dogs make the BEST companions--love them for all they have to offer and spread the word. So many are given up or ignored as they get older. I urge you to share this graphic on social media and remind the world that a good dog (and all dogs are good) only gets better with age.

the sylver platter
“Big-hearted, dog-loving, bursting-with-wit superpowered adventure...a laugh-along pleasure. ”
“A fantastic, original, and atmospheric new series.”
about the author
An experienced journalist, as well as a lifelong storyteller, J.B. Fitzgerald ultimately relinquished a world of facts, sound bites, and endless black ink to throw herself wholeheartedly into the realms of fiction and color. She writes multicultural tales of perilous adventures undertaken by unexpected heroes, quirky friends, found family, endearing animals, and villains that span the spectrum from dastardly blights on society to the morally gray. These stories are faithfully imbued with her signature style, offbeat sense of humor, and a touch of magic.
A passionate advocate for animal welfare and a dedicated dog mom, Fitzgerald’s written works—as well as her original paintings—frequently celebrate the incomparable bonds between humans and their canine companions. In addition to her critically acclaimed novels, she has also published two memoirs chronicling multiple decades of adventures and misadventures shared with her rescued animals.
Fitzgerald and her family savor a quiet life in the Pacific Northwest under the wise, bushy-tailed, and hilariously vocal rule of Maisie Moon: German shepherd-beagle mix, notorious cheese addict, and the genius-dog inspiration for one unlikely superhero’s canine sidekick.
the truth about magic
“There is, indeed, magic in the world, but we see it in different ways, in different places. I find all the magic I need in a flop-eared dog and a dog-eared book.”
