You can count on being highly entertained, alright! But Fearless Puppy has an even deeper purpose. Here's some info about the book and what all of the money proceeds from this book will be used for.

A Bit About the Literary Tone of This Book

Fearless Puppy on American Road has an entertainment value that will prove enjoyable to all readers, but its tone can be a little rugged at times. Many of our fellow Earthlings have been conditioned to receive the majority of their information from unreliable sourcesmost notably, TV dramas and the so-called "News." Fearless Puppy, through its unique style, attempts to place some degree of Buddhist, Native American, ecological, etc., information within a framework that most Americans will be able to relate to. The book is a little rough and tumble. If anyone should find the language, occasional harshness of honesty, humor, or drama offensivewe apologize. We hope that every reader will be able to enjoy and gain something from this little story, and appreciate the Puppy's need for straightforwardness. Sometimes honest and potent are more important than pretty and polite.

Main Purpose

The Main Purpose of Fearless Puppy and The Dog Soldier Trilogy of Books is to establish permanent funding sources to be used for sponsoring the physical care and education of what is hoped will be an increasing number of wisdom professionals. This is outlined well enough in the book's introduction, but here is a more specific example of how the project will work.

The first substantial profits from book sales will be used to build hotel/motel type guesthouses near Temples in Asia. The money raised from travelers patronizing these guest houses will perpetually support Monk and Nun students. The guesthouses will be built Westerner-friendly (guaranteed good water, A/C, and such).

Besides the main purpose of raising money for Monk/Nun sponsorships, it is hoped that these guest houses will also facilitate opportunities to come meet and learn from Asian leaders within an authentic Asian cultural setting - and with much greater frequency. The stay would be comfortable for Western students while providing funding to support the care and education of existing and (especially within the framework of this project's goals) future wisdom professionals. The guesthouses will be open to local and international travelers year 'round in order to most efficiently achieve this objective (raise as much $ as possible).

These motel/hotel type facilities should also succeed in employing local builders and workers, and in improving the tourist trade and local economies of the areas they are in.

All these ancillary benefits are lovely, but our main goal is to make a 1% increase in the number of wisdom professionals world-wide financially viable through the efforts of this project.

Would You Like to Help?

Your assistance is vital to the success of this project. Fearless Puppy on American Road is not being sent to agents or publishers. Avoiding the usual industry percentage takes will maximize the profit from each book sold. This is grass roots at its best. Our advertising budget is $0. We believe that the common concern of our friends will accomplish the universally beneficial goal. If you enjoy reading the book and are in accord with Fearless Puppy’s purpose, please consider the following possibilities, as well as any creative options you can come up with yourself.

1. Do you know of any positively motivated organizations who would want to receive copies of the book at a discount, in order to raise funds for their own group while assisting our effort?

2. Do you know of any empathetic retail outlets that might carry the book? They needn't be bookstores! I have books in health food stores, bagel shops, and many other friendly places!

3. Would you send an announcement of the book/project to the people on your Email/Myspace/Facebook/etc. lists? (Should you care to do this, but don't really want to write the announcement, I have a sample ready that I can forward to you.)

4. If you have any friends who would enjoy the book, Fearless Puppy accomplishes many purposes as a singular gift!
