Michael Petitpas

Michael Petitpas writes and designs books from his home in Nova Scotia, where he lives with his two Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers.

His dog books come from real life with real dogs. The Complete Toller is an honest owner's handbook for one of Canada's rarest breeds. The Whole Family Puppy Training Book and Adult Dog Training: The 30-Day Reset turn positive-reinforcement training into short daily routines a busy household can actually keep.

He also makes puzzle and activity books: large-print word searches, many of them themed on the places he loves across Canada and beyond; the Chalk Lines murder-mystery word search series; sudoku; and adult colouring books. A software engineer by background, he builds each puzzle to be fair, readable and satisfying to finish.

If one of his books earned a place on your shelf, an honest review on Amazon helps other readers find it, and it means a great deal to a small independent publisher.
