Her first book, Bullmina the Courageous Bulldog, was a finalist for the 2004 ASPCA Henry Bergh Children's Book Award for Young Adult Fiction. The book chronicles Bullmina's turbulent early years in the 1830's, when she is abandoned on the outskirts of London, then rescued, only to be stolen and forced to fight in the illegal dogfight pits.
Because of the first book's success, Lita Eitner-England started The Bullmina Foundation in 2005 to support animal rescue organizations, promote children's literacy programs, and teach responsible dog ownership. Her second book, Bullmina the Courageous Bulldog to the Rescue, was published in 2010. Inspired by her own Bulldogs, Ms. Eitner-England's writing reflects the joys of owning Bulldogs as well as some of the very real health problems they face. She is an advocate of animal rescue and adoption and participates in Visiting Author Programs at local schools in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Leslie Hoops-Wallace has illustrated all three of Ms. Eitner-England's books. Ms. Hoops Wallace graduated from The Academy of Art University, San Francisco, with a BFA in Illustration. She enjoys painting animals, and she creates pet portraits. Ms. Hoops-Wallace manages the Fine Art Societies Gallery in Warner Robins, Georgia. She believes art heals, and she encourages the community to visit the gallery and chat with the artists and each other.
