We are always supportive of our talented crew in their artistic, athletic and intellectual pursuits, whatever they may be. One of our employees who has worked for the corporate office for over 14 years in accounting has impressed us with her zeal for writing. Erna Mueller won the 2009 Good Read competition by A Woman’s Write with her outstanding entry, How to Find Your Inner Dog.

In the story, stubborn, tough-guy cop Spencer Watley bites the dust only to find himself stuck outside the gates of heaven. Spencer is given a second chance to redeem his callous existence as a human, but this time he’ll have to be a K-9 partner to a young, strong-willed teenager named Justin. Spencer’s job is to help Justin learn to love and trust adults, but it’s not easy. They also have to stand up to the killers and cyber hackers threatening to take advantage of innocent citizens.

In the beginning of this book’s development Erna had indented for it to be a screenplay ― the screenplay won an award from the Hollywood International Film Festival and was also given award recognition from the Hollywood Script Writing Institute. How to Find Your Inner Dog is Erna’s first completed work after ten years of late night writing sessions and many competition submissions. This triumph gets her one step closer to landing a great publishing deal.
