Dear Reader:

Welcome to the world of Maggie McLain, a southern veterinarian and failed debutante, and her lady veterinarian colleagues. All God’s Creatures is fiction, but the animal stories are true. I have modified them a bit to protect both the innocent and the guilty.

Veterinarians tend to be indomitable raconteurs. They told me stories while we were struggling to save my thoroughbred stallion at 3 in the morning (we did), and while they were treating my numerous cats and dogs. When I passed the tales along to my friends at Belle Books, they asked me to write a novel around them.

Most of the tales are funny. A few are poignant, and a couple are heart-breaking.  One of the most heart-breaking happened to me. When you read All God’s Creatures—and I hope you will—I suspect you’ll figure out which one.

How poor our lives would be without the animal companions we love!   If you'd like to read more about my animal friends, Zoe and Foxy, click here.
