Charles Emery's father
________________________________________________________________Charles F. Emery's Open Letter to Literary AgentsDad, Dog and Fish is a humorous, folksy story of my life with my Dad, our dogs and our mutual love of the outdoor life. There are serious components as well dealing with death and sickness, as well as uplifting moments endured and embraced by family. The story is peppered with dog logic.
The story has broad appeal; it has something for everybody.
I have not been published; but I am not averse to receiving copious amounts of filthy lucre.
Here is a link to the
Dad, Dog and Fish blog with selected material on exhibition:
I would be happy to send to interested AAR agents and/or traditional editors hard copies of the above and/or print copy of the full or partial manuscript. For more information,
e-mail me. If you have read this far, thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Charles F. Emery III

Excerpt from Dad, Dog and FishThe light filters through the curtains in the bedroom as the sun dawns a new day. The couple in the bed are crowded but comfortable; a marriage not yet strained by time. The man in the bed is in his late twenties, but the way he wheezes you’d think he was in his sixties. However, his labored breathing is not from a physical malady, but from the weight of his three year old son planted firmly on his chest in deep slumber. Rather than wake his son, the father bears the weight agreeably; the father knows it’s a fine morning.
