Inca Dink, The Great Houndini - Full Color Book now Available!

Written by M. Nicole van Dam


So fun to announce that...drumroll... "Inca Dink, The Great Houndini" is now available in a cheery, full color paperback via Amazon, as well as for sale at traditional bookstores. HURRAY! In a previous post, I mentioned that "Inca Dink, The Great Houndini" is available for the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch as a narrated, digital app, which is really fun.

Because "Inca Dink, The Great Houndini" is doing so well, I created a cute background book on the story, with real life photos of the Leonberger dog, Inca, that inspired the story, and of Inca's real life nephew, Tango. That background story is also available on Amazon! . This background story is available for the Kindle as well.
