“A canine soldier survives war, only to go on an odyssey that may take more than it gives. The Art of Racing in the Rain meets Angel Down. A beguiling, poetic affair that's bathed in crimson, and barks hope into the dark,” said Dominic Howarth of Book + Bottle in St. Petersburg, Florida.

ABA meets with publishers regularly, but once a year during May and June we have our annual meetings with about 40 publishers. These meetings are attended by myself, ABA’s Chief Operating Officer Joy Dallanegra-Sanger, and 2–3 ABA Board members per meeting, all of whom are booksellers and bookstore owners. On the publisher side, we usually meet with the Publisher or CEO along with various senior staff members and others on the publisher’s team who work with indies.
