Sam I Am - I Am Sam

Sam I am, I am Sam. If you've been spending any time here on my blog, and I hope you have, you're probably wondering a little bit about the person behind the keyboard.

In addition to being a writer and animal lover, I am also an English Professor. The stories you've been reading on this blog go back a long way -- ultimately beginning with my first dog, Sally, who my family had BEFORE they had me.

Since my mother has been taking forever to dig up a picture of Sally, I have waited on adding her story because to me - I want everyone to have the texts and the photo to go along with each of these dogs tails, oops, I mean tales.

For now, the picture above is me.
