A Novel by Brian A. Ask

Please, Mrs. Henry!

A young heartthrob, a legendary musician, and one remarkably telepathic terrier stand between a soulless organization and the music that will change the world.

What begins as a mundane ice-fishing excursion on the frozen plains of the Midwest rapidly devolves into a cross-country odyssey of mythical proportions. Epic adventures. Questionable magic. And a dog who just wants a belly rub and a milk bone.

Mrs. Henry — the remarkably telepathic terrier

This clever story starts with a delightful terrier who inadvertently takes a sip from the Holy Grail. That kickstarts an epic road trip with the charming canine Mrs. Henry, her human boy Mark, and Bob - a musician the pair seek out in Dinkytown.

Mrs. Henry is clearly the hero here, and her charisma propels the narrative. She’s insightful, determined, and humorous at all the right moments. Ask’s creative narration gives readers a unique viewpoint with engaging prose, providing emotional depth alongside comical hijinks in this riotous story.
