Terry Lee Marzell and her fur baby, Kurby, will be making an author appearance at the Paws in the Park event to be held on Sept. 7, 2024, from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. The event will be held at Vila Borba Dog Park located at 17001 Amadora Dr, Chino Hills, CA 91709. At the event, Terry will feature her new book, Unleashed! The Dog Park Chronicles, a children’s book which features a setting at Vila Borba.

The novel shares the story of Bowser which is based on the true-life experience of Kurby, who was rescued from his abusive former owner. He’s even depicted on the front cover of the book! Another character in the novel is the elegant tuxedo cat, Licorice, another of Terry’s fur babies. She appears on the back cover.

But that’s not all the book is about! The narrative features a charming cast of animal characters and their human companions who live in or visit the dog park. Each event which takes place holds an essential message about kindness, community, inclusion, and personal responsibility. There are also messages about anti-bullying and anti-prejudice. In addition, the narrative includes commentary about how young people can appreciate nature, even if they live in a suburban environment. For example, there are chapters about the migratory patterns of Canada geese, the natural instincts of the animal characters, and the progression of the seasons.

Come to the Paws in the Park event to meet Terry Lee Marzell and Kurby! There you can purchase a copy of the novel and have it personally autographed by the author. You can also purchase the book from amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com.
