Bestselling author Teresa Rhyne to visit town
Words, Wine & Wags event to benefit Meade Canine Rescue
New York Times bestselling author Teresa Rhyne and the stars of her latest memoir, her beagles Daphne and Percival, will be in Paso Robles on Oct. 22 for a Words, Wine & Wags event to benefit Meade Canine Rescue. The Dogs Were Rescued (And So Was I) is the sequel to the New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal and international bestselling memoir, The Dog Lived (And So Will I).
Rhyne and her partner Chris Kern, owner of PasosBestWines.com, are touring California in a series of events benefiting animal rescue groups. They will be in downtown Paso Robles at the Chateau Lettau tasting room.
All proceeds benefit Meade Canine Rescue, a 12-acre ranch sanctuary for senior and special needs dogs located in Creston. Tickets are $25 and include a wine tasting, light appetizers, a book reading and meet and greet with the author, and an autographing and “paw-tographing” session. Click here for tickets.
About the Book: Teresa Rhyne and Seamus the beagle had both survived cancer once, so when Seamus develops yet another cancer, Teresa is devastated. She embarks on a massive lifestyle shift—embracing a more animal-friendly approach and trying to find her place somewhere between a hippie in a hemp skirt and a hypocrite in leather high heels. And then she realizes that Seamus wasn’t the only beagle who needed rescuing…
The Dogs Were Rescued (and So Was I) is the poignant yet hilarious exploration of how you move forward when you’ve done everything you can and it’s still not enough.
About the Author: Teresa J. Rhyne is a work in progress (she knows that now more than ever). For the moment, she is a lawyer, writer, speaker, animal advocate, wine aficionado, and, for always, a breast cancer survivor. She lives in Southern California with Chris and their two mischievous beagles, all of whom hope to one day live in Paso Robles. For more information, visit teresarhyne.com/.
Daphne was rescued from a kill shelter in Los Angeles. She was used by a backyard breeder, shot, and left on the streets. She also was diagnosed with cancer and had a mast cell tumor removed shortly after she was adopted. Daphne is now cancer-free, slim, trim, and bossy as ever (just ask the neighbor dogs).
Percival spent the first 18 months of his life confined to a steel cage—the victim of animal testing in a pharmaceutical lab. He never walked on grass, saw sunshine, or had a treat or a toy, until he was rescued by Beagle Freedom Project. Percival is a happy, playful, little imp who loves life with a zeal that surprises everyone, given all he’s been through.
