Christine Isley-Farmer’s fifth book in the “Boomer’s Tales” series continues the adventures of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel as the story’s narrator. Christine loves this dog breed and has owned three Cavaliers. She encountered her first Cavalier, Fleur, while performing with the Harrisburg opera. She was captivated by the big brown eyes and gentle, lively nature of the breed. Her present Cavalier, Dylan, enjoys walks and snuggling next to her in her recliner. Christine, a classically trained singer who has sung in the United States and Europe, has been a university music professor. The stories in opera and song have fascinated and inspired her. The power of stories and music’s healing qualities have woven their way through her life and found voice in her writing. Two of her books, Finding My Yip and Camp Resound, were selected as 2021 and 2022 Finalists in the children’s fiction category by the American Writing Awards. A Hard Nut to Crack was designated Finalist in the children’s chapter book category by the 2022 National Indie Excellence Awards.
