Hi, my name is J.C. Smith and I'd like you to meet Deja and his older brother Max. ""Deja, Where's My Shoe"" is the first of a series of books about Deja, a black German Shepherd. As a former police detective and US Marine, most of my friends thought that the last thing I would be doing is writing a children's book and frankly so did I, but what started out as a simple poem about the antics of Deja playing with shoes, has turned into something much more. I have a dream and a passion, and by combining the two, I hope to build a rescue facility to help some of the homeless and less fortunate animals. This and future books will help me build such a facility. I'm sure you will enjoy this and future stories as much as I have bringing them to you.
