First-Time Children’s Author Enchants Readers with the Captivating
Adventures of Adam, the Australian Shepherd

December 2, 2007, Austin, TX -- “Puppy Tales: The Adventures of Adam the Australian
Shepherd” (Booksurge Publishing, an Amazon company) is a heartwarming children’s
book from first-time author Kelly Carper Polden.

Adam is an abused and abandoned puppy that winds up on a Texas Hill Country
ranch, where he shares a series of fun-loving, spirited adventures with “Momma” and
“Poppa,” Tinker Bell the cat, and his horse friends Ace, Durango and Cody.  The author
uses this entertaining cast of characters to weave a story around the timeless values of
love, discipline and friendship.

Kelly Carper Polden is an award-winning professional communicator with more than
20 years of experience writing, editing and creating marketing communications
materials for a variety of national and international companies. After moving to the Hill
Country in 2006, she started a freelance writing and communications consulting
business.  Kelly was inspired to put her first children’s story to words while running the
trails in nearby Pedernales Falls State Park with Adam, her rescued pup.
Complemented with sketches by illustrator Cheryl Eckenrode, “Puppy Tales” is the first
of what is sure to be many stories of Adam’s adventures with his friends on the ranch.  

In addition to being a communications professional, Kelly is actively involved in many
civic organizations. A portion of the book’s proceeds will be donated to Austin Aussie
Rescue and the Hill Country Children’s Advocacy Center. For the past 14 years the Hill
Country Children’s Advocacy Center has provided services at no charge for sexually
and physically abused children and their non-abusing family members in seven
counties, including Blanco, Burnet, Lampasas, Llano, Mason, Mills and San Saba.
Since 2001 Austin Aussie Rescue has provided foster homes and approved adoptions
for more than 150 rescued Australian shepherds. Both groups are 501c3 non-profit
organizations.

“Puppy Tales: The Adventures of Adam the Australian Shepherd” is now available for
purchase on www.amazon.com, www.austinaussierescue.org, www.booksurge.com,
