THE MAKING OF A NOVEL ... or ... "How I Wrote The Blue Ribbon"

Introducing..."HIGH STAKES" — A preview of Ron Hevener's upcoming novel, High Stakes.

"HIGH STAKES," a commentary on the animal rights movement and its threat to today's society, is being called one of the most powerful novels ever written for animal lovers.
The 600 page novel includes an appendix of documented animal rights terrorist acts dating all the way back to 1984. If anyone has ever doubted what the real motivation of the animal rights movement is all about, they will never again wonder after reading Ron Hevener's "HIGH STAKES!"
"A very interesting read and a must for any animal lover...as the activist subject is not only one that plagues the Greyhound industry but is an underlying threat to all animal owners. Mr. Hevener not only weaves a breath taking tale, but nailed the activist groups right on the head." — Deedy Decker, Equine Artist/Editor of the Spotted Saddle Horse News
"HIGH STAKES" is about fighting against the militant animal rights movement and winning.
"HIGH STAKES" - (600 pages, paperback, $12.95 plus shipping) - is available from Pennywood Press, 1338 Mountain Road, Manheim, PA 17545, USA, or from the author's website: www.ronhevener.com

ON WITH THE SHOW Author/Artist RON HEVENER specializes in animal sports and entertainment. Mr. Hevener owns one of oldest dog show kennels in the U.S. ("Lochranza," specializing in Collies since 1945). His dog "Kane" (Ch. Amberlyn's Bright Tribute) was featured in his popular novel "The Blue Ribbon."
His interest in Arabian horse racing goes back to the early days of Delaware Park, now one of the leading Arabian racetracks in the U.S. His stallion "Nahgua" (Nugui El Khamsin) was one of the first Arabians to race at Delaware Park and inspired Mr. Hevener's novel, "Fate of the Stallion."

Along with racehorses and show dogs, Mr. Hevener's interest in Greyhounds started with the adoption of a retired racer and led to a full-fledged racing kennel and inspired his novel, "High Stakes." Today, he owns sons and daughters of every major Greyhound racing sire from the U.S., UK, Ireland and Australia.
An accomplished artist, Hevener figurines and prints from his novels are bought and traded throughout the world. His original paintings and sculptures are displayed in galleries and can be found in many private collections.
Mr. Hevener is currently on tour, speaking at bookstores, libraries, theaters, schools, gift stores, pet stores, dog shows, art shows and horse shows throughout the country. "Life is a movie," he says. "On with the show!"
