The
Singular Adventures of Jefferson Ball
by
David Perlmutter
Genre:
YA SciFi Fantasy
There
never was a heroine like Jefferson Ball. And, thankfully, there may
never be.
She
is, simply, the most powerful humanized female dog in a universe full
of them. Faster, stronger, more attractive to boys. Unbeatable as a
lover. Unfortunately, her brains are not up to this quality, but
don’t tell her that.
About
the only one who can is Major Hamilton Pomeranian, the diminutive
ex-soldier who is Jeff’s best friend and conscience. When she gets
too big for her limited clothing, Hamilton tells her what for. And
it’s usually only after that point that they are able to escape
from whatever convoluted situation they find themselves in.
This
potential collection will have readers both laughing and awestruck at
the events that happen. And, hopefully, you will be one of them.

GUEST POST
Do
your characters seem to hijack the story or do you feel like you have
the reigns of the story?
The
overall plot is always kept well in hand, but I let the characters
have free reign in terms of what they say, and sometimes they
surprise me.
Convince
us why you feel your book is a must read.
It’s
not very long, and I’ve tried to make it as entertaining as
possible. Which is more than can be said for a lot of books these
days.
What
did you edit out of this book?
Profanity.
Some of my editors have told me that, the younger your characters
are, the less acceptable it will be to have them swear. So, since so
many of my lead characters are below voting age, I try to limit their
curses to the near-beer variety (i.e. “darn”) and leave the
genuine stuff for the more “adult” characters. Although, even
then, this is done only when it helps move the story along, and not,
as is often the case now, for the joy of doing it.
