Author Brian Bowler was born during the Summer solstice, June 21st--the longest day in 1933. But 88 years later, he is making his presence known with "Let No Dog Bark." He is currently working on a collection of letters and short stories called "From Penury to Poverty," about his life experiences. Bowler attended East Oxford Primary School and earned a scholarship to the Oxford City Education Department at the age of 10 for his original story idea. Submitting this manuscript for Editing Services to BabyBook prior to publication resulted in the following recognition. "This is a charming historical fiction tale that begins in London at the turn of the century - following a wealthy family, their devoted butler and servants after the financial crash experienced around the world. ...The once poverty-stricken Londoners not only become land-owners but also realize wealth in not just money but in lifelong friendships." "The author's historical knowledge and presentation is to be commended, as is his incredible talent to relate the necessary steps and ideas that Henry and his cohorts come up with to continue to build the business. The government requiring food storage and hence turning the farm into a food processing industry is nothing less than brilliant." Perhaps editor is not really the correct title for her contribution. Alice Brown-Bowler is however, my wife, companion, encourager, proof-reader, audience, fine-tuner of my literary efforts and has spent many hours listening to and tweaking "Let No Dog Bark" for the past three years. She is also the one that helped me write the most profound and last two words to this novel. "The End." In addition, at age 73 she holds a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology and was a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for 15 years. Dr. Glenn Davis, long-time friend, companion and sounding board who nobly performed the task of proof-reading all earlier versions in-part and in-whole of the book to give us the disinterested opinion of a Clinical Psychologist on a book with no pictures.
