Synopsis
2026 NEW MEXICO BOOK AWARDS WINNER!! "A LITTLE EXTRA MAGIC AND LOVE TO READ AROUND THE HOLIDAYS" - M. L. Tozan
***** Must read. "NICK AND CLANCY is a beautiful blend of second and third and fourth chances, love finding a way, magical realism, and quirky friendships that imaginatively explores living life to the fullest and never leaving a shadow of doubt in our loved ones' minds that we do, in fact, love them." - McKenzie Lynn Tozan (Reedsy Discovery)
*****
"Nick and Clancy tells the story of a man in need and a runaway dog, and it’s wonderfully heartwarming. The tale is told in the first person but from two perspectives, Nick’s and Clancy’s...and there’s so much humor that it will have you laughing out loud in places... This is a unique story, with plenty of heart and action." Anne-Marie Reynolds for Readers’ Favorite:
"At its core, this book is about survival, companionship, purpose, and the strange ways love shows up when life feels fragile and uncertain. The writing feels intimate and conversational, almost like someone sitting across from you and telling you a story late at night. I laughed more than I expected.. The dog’s perspective .... feels earnest and oddly wise ... There is a tenderness here that caught me off guard ... especially well-suited for animal lovers, people who have faced serious illness, or anyone who has felt unmoored and searching for meaning." - Thomas Anderson, Editor In Chief, Literary Titan
Sneak Peek: Nick is a quirky Sci-Fi fan who defies death on the operating table and emerges determined to live his dreams before he runs out of time. It's bad enough his ticker could give out any moment. His family wants him to change his entire life, and the woman of his dreams is already spoken for. The last thing he needs is a dog. But the runaway Sheltie collie pawing at his door has an urgent mission and she won't be ignored. She will give us the inside story...
