Naturally, I am going to do a little shameless promotion here of my current canine books (that I am very proud of) to celebrate the day!

You know how much we love books here! Besides being an author, I'm an avid reader since, well birth! And when a good canine book comes along, I love to share it! Today, we are reviewing Jewel Mathieson's second book featuring her beautiful colored pencil medium style of artwork of beautiful snow dogs! Jewel is a very talented self-taught artist hailing from New Zealand, and I am honored and thrilled that she chose my Gibson to be one of the amazing dogs featured in her second book,  Indomitable Spirit. DISCLOSURE Please note that this is not a paid book review. While I did receive a copy of Jewel's book, Jewel had invited my Gibson to be part of her book, and I was given the option of purchasing the beautiful original artwork of my Gibson that was featured in the book, which I did purchase. I am not a paid affiliate of Blurb. All thoughts, reviews, and comments about the book and Jewel's artwork are solely my own. "Woo! There's my brother Gibson!...

Gibson, my co-editor! As many of you know, I’m an author, photographer, journalist, blogger, editor, and public relations specialist by trade. My brief reply to anyone who asks what I do for a living is simply “author and photojournalist.” I love the written word as much as I love capturing life on film (or digital disk as it is today). In addition to this FiveSibes ™ blog, I also administer the companion FiveSibes: Siberian Husky K9News & Reviews Facebook page , and am a contributing writer to American PetMagazine and Dog Writers Association of America’s Ruff Drafts . I also host a show that airs on Dog Works Radio called “The Sibe Vibe,” where my producer and co-host, Robert Forto, shares the mic with me each month as we interview and chat with Siberian Husky rescue volunteers and “hu-parents,” authors, artists, singers, movie producers, mushers, trainers, who all are passionate about the breed of Siberian Husky, as well as Canine Epilepsy and health experts, veterinarian...
