Barbara Techel is the author of the multi-award winning Frankie, the Walk ‘N Roll Dog book series. When her dachshund, Frankie, suffered a spinal injury, Barbara had her custom-fitted for a wheelchair. Frankie persevered, and Barbara realized the beautiful opportunity she had to share Frankie and give others hope and inspiration to be the best they can be. Along with sharing Frankie’s story with children, Barbara and Frankie routinely volunteer as a therapy dog team at a local hospital, senior assisted facility, and hospice community, spreading joy wherever they go.

Lauren Barnes of WriterViews recently, my award winning author mom, Barbara Techel via Skype and I got to be on the call with them!  What is so great is not only can you hear the interview but you get to see us! Oh what fun we had!  We love technology and being able to be interviewed right in our studio was such fun. You can also get a sneak peek at me as Lauren talks to my mom about her writing process, what inspires her, and her advice to other writer's.
