B R Tracey author of It's A Ruff Lifeand creator of MaxAndBella - Rufflife Mascots - leg is finally getting better

After finally finishing my mammoth 4000mg a day of antibiotics my left leg is now looking more like the right one.  I am now hobbling around without crutches, apart from climbing the stairs, and the foot still feels a little like a penguin foot because the joint is still so tight; I'm working on exercising that every day.  So luckily things are getting back to normal.

Ruff Life Christmas Fairs Preparations

Christmas is coming and we are getting very excited at everything that's happening around here.

Everyone is mad busy preparing for 4 days of Christmas fairs of everything Bella and Max. there'll be Bella & Max cakes, Bella & Max snow globes, Bella & Max book marks, as well lots of fabulous coloured balloons with me and Max  printed on them. It's such a shame that he has to get in on the act; anyone would think he wanted to be a celebrity or something. But he should know by now that I'm the ONLY celebrity at Ruff Life. There'll be free sweets and a free colouring activity.  B R Tracey will also be there to sign 'It's a Ruff Life' books you buy.

If you're in Loughborough on 13th -14th December visit us at the Grand Central Railway, or on 20th - 21st December in the newly revamped Silver Arcade, Leicester.  Come along and join in the fun!

Don't forget to check out our cute sleigh ride Youtube video and to enter our FREE book competition to WIN Ruff Christmas, here's the link.

Things are going to be so 'Bellatastic' at It's A Ruff Life!

Things are going to go crazy at Ruff Life.  There are so many fantastic things happening. It means more work for me. But I don't mind doing anything to make me more famous.

I mean a girl has to do anything she can to get what she wants. And I'm a great achiever in getting what I want.

I want fame, fashion, limelight and a peaceful life without a nosy, smelly brother that's always interfering.  So far I've only managed the first 3.goals, I'm still working on the 4th, but Max doesn't get any of the subtle hits I leave for him. He's just one stubborn mongrel.

The First Ruff Life

The Sunday that has just passed was a great day; I got to see the first ever Ruff Life character Rover.  I hadn't seen Rover for a long time, but as soon as I walked in my friend's house, her beloved Golden Retriever, who I spent so many years walking when he was younger, struggled up on his back legs and came over for a hug, stroke and a kiss.

He's an old dog now and not able to get around very well.  He certainly couldn't get up to some of the crazy things he used to, but my eyes lit up as soon as I saw him.  We had spent many hours walking the fields of Rothley and Mountsorrel when my daughter attended Primary school.  Rover used to live at my house during the week and go back to my friend's on weekends.  This suited everyone as both my friends worked during the day.

Rover and I used to love our time together outdoors; we would meet up with other dog owners and the dogs would run off and play.  I miss those days. But life changed when my daughter went to high school and my friends' began a family of their own. I changed my job to work during the day, instead of at night, and my daughter, whose school was located close to where Rover lived, would walk him during her lunch hour.

He became a great inspiration for me, especially his unique and funny character traits that I've included in the books.  He's always been my canine hero, who is always affectionate and funny and he has made a terrific main character (Max) for the Ruff Life series of children's spy action books.

Whenever I pick up the books, especially the first one 'It's A Ruff Life', I am reminded of just how unique Rover is, and so really the biggest dedication for the success of the book series and everything else that is exciting and about to happen at Ruff Life goes ultimately to my beautiful four legged friend Rover.

Bella & Max

Play It's A Ruff Life Spy Animal Game

I know I'm a top class MI6 canine agent but there has been many animals in both books and films that have been spies.  Can you think of any?  If so then click play the spy animal game to join in the fun at Goodreads. I think there must be 100; let's see if I'm right.

Max

How Much Better Can This Get?

Finally someone at It's A Ruff Life has finally taken us seriously, and it isn't the author, and arranged for us, I have to include Max in this worse luck, to be part of a local author's event in Leicestershire.  I haven't got the date yet although I've asked.  I mean I'll have to get Benjamin to make me something fabulous to wear.  I'll also make sure that Max doesn't come as his normal messy self.

I'm, oops I meant we, will be making some appearances at local libraries in Leicestershire as well.  I'm really looking forward to that; you know how much I love an audience.

I must go now I've got to go and play a badminton match.  No need to wish me luck, if you were going to, I always win.

Bella

Spy Animal Game

It's time for an  update. Some crazy things are happening around here at the moment and I don't mean Max's disgusting pie pig contest.  We finally have the next four book proofs to edit then they can be released, so watch this space!  To give you a heads up they are titled Diamond in the Ruff, Ruff in Hollywood, It's A Ruff Life Being Dognapped and Ruff Resort.  They are all an amazing read and like my first adventure will have you sitting at the edge of your seats, or was it me that did that when I read the first one.  They'll have you LOL and that's a promise.  I mean who can't help but laugh at that stupid dog Max?  If you don't you'll end up crying out of frustration, or is that me again?  Anyway I'll let you know the release date nearer the time.

If you are a member of Goodreads.then go and play my Spy Animal Game.   Be the first to join in.

I'll tell you a new story soon but I'm just finishing off my new amazing fashion creations.  You'll here all about them in book 8.  Max is out somewhere, YIPEE!  I don't have to put up with his mangy flea ridden fur for a bit but I'm sure he'll have some mundane story to tell you when he get's back.
