Abbott "Pete" Smith D.V.M. June 16, 1938 - February 22, 2010 |
Welcome to Milliron Monday where every Monday we celebrate the legacy of Pete Smith, D.V.M., and Milliron: Abbott “Pete” Smith, D.V.M. The Biography (Monday Creek Publishing 2017), including his wife Jody (1938-2021).
"I can draw anything."
Kelly Lincoln, Fine Artist
When I first met Kelly Lincoln, I thought I had met the coolest person ever. You know, the type of person who oozes charisma and creativity. I remember we were at my barn office and I was on a deadline to finish Tails of a Country Vet. The title was all about animal tales/tails - a play on words. After all, Pete was a veterinarian and had seen many (many) tails (and tales) in his lifetime.
We were sitting at the table and I told Kelly that all I needed was something extra for the chapter headings - something fun and whimsical. Without hesitation, Kelly pulled her sketchpad from her satchel and began drawing animals. "Like this?" she asked. I was blown away! Perfect!
Within a small amount of time, Kelly had created a critter for every chapter in the book. "I can draw anything," she smiled.
If you have a copy of Tails of a Country Vet, you can see Kelly's artwork. It was Kelly's idea to create a companion bookmark. If you would like a copy of this endearing book and/or bookmark, drop me an email mondaycreekpublishing@gmail.com. If you have a copy, please write a review on Amazon! The Milliron Trilogy is also available at Little Professor Book Center, Court Street, Athens, Ohio.
Tails of a Country Vet II is on my desk and almost complete. If you have a tale to share, the deadline to email your story is February 28, 2022.
Have a great week ahead.
