Dear possible reader of this book, <P> After I wrote my first book, <I>It Came from Beneath the Bed!,</I> my editor asked me to write another one. (Another one! This is hard work! I'd like to see him write another one!) So anyway...in this book the lovable and smart (not to mention talented) wirehaired dachshund puppy named Howie and his friend, the beautiful and brilliant Delilah, face their biggest challenge yet: the <P> <I>Mind Swappers from Asteroid 6!?</I> Along the way Delilah gets turned into a squirrel and has to beg for acorns. (Hey, don't ask me! Read the book!) <P> My uncle Harold (who wrote a bunch of books about our friend Bunnicula), says he likes my book a lot, but it has too many adjectives. Delilah says I have a lot to learn about writing girl characters. <P> I have no idea what they're talking about. I just hope you like the story. <P> Your friend,<P> Howie
