Barbara asked W. Bruce Cameron:

Hello. I love the books I've read. Can you clarify the book order? I know the main series (Purpose, Journey, Promise) but after that? There are a bunch of books called "_'s Story". The dog's names are the same as the multiple lives of Bailey. Are these different books? Or the original series broken down into individual books for each life? I don't want to spend $ to buy books I already have in the main series.

W. Bruce Cameron Hi! There's A Dog's Way Home and A Dog's Courage, that's another series in that order. The "story" books we call the "puppy tales" and there's no real order, they are all stand alone. My Dogs with a Purpose series slants toward older readers, but that series and the Puppy Tales are aimed at younger readers. and yes, some of the Puppy Tales concern adventures of dogs you've already read about. The exceptions are: Shelby, Lily, Piper, and Toby. (The set up for Toby comes from A Dog's Journey, but it's all different otherwise.) Dogs with a Purpose: Stella, Ripley, and Zeus--those are all originals, too. My Three Dogs is one you should get if you like my books on dogs.
