News:  "Poor Jack", the picture book based on the true story of a dog who was frightened by the noises from the fireworks during the Natchitoches Christmas Festival, is now available on Amazon.com!  Of course, you can still get it at Tres Bien Antiques and it is still only $10.00.

"The Outcasts" is also available at Tres Bien Antiques for $10.00. Proceeds go to Natchitoches Hope for Paws.  Thanks to those of you who bought it on Saturday at the book signing for "I'm Something, Too!"

This Saturday George Rhymes, author of "The Outcasts" and "Poor Jack" and Ellen Howell, illustrator of both books will be at Tres Bien Antiques to present Kay Kaufman with a "Poor Jack" computer mouse and a "Poor Jack" print.  Mrs. Kaufman is a huge fan of "Poor Jack" and a tireless worker for the welfare of animals, especially those of the canine kind.
