Kirkus Reviews
Background
In the early 1980’s I lived in Aberdeen, Scotland while teaching at the American School of Aberdeen. My time spent there inspired a lot of the writing in Love Puppies and Corner Kicks. The book is dedicated to two important people from that time and place; Tom Driscoll, the principal I worked under and Mrs. Sidney Edwards, a wonderful Scottish lady who rented out the back of her house, Ingleside, to my wife and me. Here are some photos of places there that were the inspiration for some of the places and events in the book.
