Catherine Alexander has recently published her latest novel, DOGS DON’T COOK available on Amazon.
THOMAS “HATCH” HATCHFIELD is an artist derailed by the Vietnam War. Beginning with crayons as a child, he honed his love for drawing as an art major in college and during a semester of study in Rome. Twenty-seven years after discharge, with a gut injury and a Purple Heart, Hatch still wanders Seattle’s Pioneer Square. With an air of snarky hostility, he drinks away his talent, having long ago traded his paint brushes and pens for Ripple and Thunderbird. At least he has his invisible dog, BUD, always trotting beside him, always willing to listen, even willing to talk. CLICK HERE to learn more about Catherine Alexander! |
