Costrini publishes wolf-dog novella

“Friends and Fears: The Two Lives of a Wolf-Dog” is a new 76-page novella that was self-published by A. Costrini, a young area author.

The book’s target audience is kids in roughly the 10-13-year-old range.

The back cover of the book reads, “I leaped over tree roots and tore over grass. I had no intention of returning. My human was a murderer!”

Cotton, the low-content wolf dog, had a wonderful life with his humans ever since he was young. But one day the people he trusts most betray him and his friend. Confused and hurting, Cotton runs from the pain and finds himself lost deep in the woods. Will he ever hope again? And will he ever find the reasoning behind the hurt his humans caused?

Costrini was inspired to write this book after hearing about a National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) challenge to write a book in a month. She set a goal for completing a specific number of words per day and finished the rough draft in 20 days.
