Emails from the Farm

About the Book

Over the years, I have often wondered what my pets and livestock would write if they could. The stories that follow come from a host of animals with some stories from my viewpoint. I started writing stories to share with my friends. Then these friends asked that I consider getting them published so that other people could have some joy in their lives. Seeing as the Bible said laughter is like good medicine, I decided to compile some stories and write more. Some of the people who answer the “e-mails” are real people, and some of the answers from them are from me so that I can keep a story going or try to keep it clearer or funny. One last disclaimer: no farm animals were hurt writing these stories, but some chickens did lose feathers and had their serenity disturbed.

About the Author

Mike Monagan has had a small farm in Upstate New York for many years, collecting a variety of small and large animals over that time. He has been writing about the farm animals for many years, because each animal has a character of its own. It is from these unique personalities that Mike draws the inspiration for his stories. In Emails from the Farm, the animals speak about the antics on the farm from their own perspectives. Some of the animals who “send” the emails include Pomeranian dogs, Goats, Ponies, Emus, Chickens, and various other creatures who wander onto the farm. Mike’s humorous take on the antics of his animals makes for fun reading for all ages.
