This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by
Goddess Fish Promotions. The author will be awarding a signed copy of
50 Shades of Fur by Missy Barkalot, as told to Belinda
Stevens to a randomly drawn winner via the rafflecopter at the end of
this post during the tour.
A delightful, yet somewhat bawdy “tail” about Missy
Barkalot, a petite rust-colored long-haired Dachshund and the apple of her eye,
Humphrey B (aka “Hump”), and the other characters, both dogs and cats, who are
frequent guests at Doggie Bath. Missy is pursued by Ralph the Bulldog, but she
only has eyes for Hump, who was seduced by the glamorous toy poodle, CoCo. It
turns out CoCo was a victim of her environment, as her owner had some kinky
habits using a gray tie. Bondage with leashes, bite marks, jive-talking cats
and cross-dressing Dobermans – not to mention a Doggie Blues band – keep the
story rolling as Missy Barkalot uses her feminine wiles to woo Hump away from
CoCo. DoggieBath has a little bit of everything – sexual intrigue, rock-n-roll
and blues – canine style, and of course, a little weed. This fun romp through
the world of Missy and Hump make a “furfect” read! If you love animals, you
will love “50 Shades Of Fur.”
Enjoy an excerpt:
The next four months were perfect – or should I say
furfect. We had matching His and Her sweaters, provided by our owners who
thought our canine love was so cute! We couldn’t wait to get to Doggie Bath so
we could spend as much time together as possible. We counted down the days on
our paws until my owner or his mistress went on their annual trips so we could
spend 24/7 together. Doggie bliss. We were definitely a canine couple to the
chagrin of those furry tramps that still followed Hump around.
And then CoCo made her grand entrance. A toy poodle named
after Coco Channel. That canine counldn’t design a decent dog collar if her
over-priced self depended on it. Her reputation had preceded her – love the
dogs and leave them type. It didn’t take her long to locate her next victim.
She sashayed over to Humphrey, hiked her furry rump in his direction and gave
that little tail she had a wag. He was immediately entranced. He stuck out his
buff chest, pranced over to CoCo and gave her an introductory sniff. She
sniffed back. It was weeks before Humphrey made his move but it was obvious
that the interest had been there from first sniff. That cheating canine
included CoCo in all our play groups. He even shared a doggie bone with her –
something he had never done with any other dog but me.
Belinda J. Stevens was born in Yazoo City, Mississippi, the
gateway to the Mississippi Delta, in 1948. She grew up in the turbulent
sixties, and has a true appreciation for the difficulties experienced Katherine
in her first novel, "Just Out of Reach.” A radical departure from her
first novel, her lastest effort is a fun parody, “50 Shades of Fur by Missy
Barkalot, as told to Belinda Stevens.”
An attorney by profession, Belinda tells the story of young
love and dark secrets in the world of the Doggie Bath. Canines, cats and even a
skunk with a prestigious lineage converge for a bawdy “tale” that will keep you
laughing.
Belinda is a graduate of Belhaven University and earned a
Masters in Social Science and a Law Degree from Mississippi College. From
1987-1997 she served as Special Assistant to Mississippi Attorney General Mike
Moore. She resides in Brandon, Mississippi with her dog Humprey B., and
practices law in Yazoo City where she is a Public Defender.
