The Basset Goes To Boston

By Susan Schoeffield

Beauregard Brumley is a young basset hound,
with short legs, big paws, and a body that’s round.
A nose meant for sniffing, with ears to the floor,
this loveable fellow is fit to explore!

The story is told how he travels the globe
(when not sound asleep on his owner’s old robe).
And how, you might ask, does he see all these sights?
He sleeps through the day and roams through the night.

And how does he do it? A boat, car or plane?
No, that isn’t possible. Let me explain.
His friend is a cat, an inventor of schemes,
and it seems he’s created some travel machines.

And so begin the adventures of Beauregard (Beau) and Cornelius the Cat (Corn). Through the invention of a travel machine, Beau and Corn wind up in Boston, Massachusetts on the evening of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. Along the way, they learn much about history and other animals. They also learn a lot about themselves.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Susan Schoeffield was previously Managing Editor of The Poetry Hut, a quarterly, online poetry magazine and Administrator of two poetry prompt blogs. Other obligations made it impossible to continue in all of those roles and The Poetry Hut and related projects were discontinued. Prior to her detour down other, creative avenues, Susan published her first novel, Tarnished Idols, A Silver Screen Murder Mystery, and her first collection of poetry, A Walk and Imagine, both available at Smashwords. She has dabbled in website building and podcasting, but her heart has never forgotten her one, true passion: the art of words. With the publication of Haiku Harbor, Susan has returned to her favorite place, the computer keyboard, to continue projects that had been put on the back burner for way too long: the compilation of her second poetry collection, And Autumn Remembers, the second novel in the Silver Screen Murder Mystery series, Reel Madness, and her first children’s book, The Basset Goes To Boston. Also in the works is the first book in a new series called, Distilled Demons, A Speakeasy Mystery. She is thrilled to be back where she belongs. Nothing is more rewarding than lighting the fire that drives the soul. Susan’s new, personal website is called "Susan Writes Left" (http://bit.ly/mOV49Z). If you would like to reach her, you can send an email to her at [e-mail]. After a prolonged absence, she has also returned to tweeting on Twitter @SusanWritesLeft.
