About The Book
With a strong, rich and uproariously funny voice, Joe Coomer resurrects the magic of his previous novels, Beachcombing for a Shipwrecked God and The Loop, and turns the utterly ordinary into the stunningly extra-ordinary. With a splendid cast of characters and the cleverest canine in comedy, Apologizing to Dogs is a hilarious, heartwarming and wonderfully human tale, proving that no matter how old you get, there's always something worth holding on to, fighting for and loving with all your might.

Raves and Reviews
Richard Wallace The Seattle Times This is neo-Southern Gothic country, and nobody writing today does it better and funnier than Joe Coomer.
Lori Leibovitch The New York Times Book Review Reading Joe Coomer's new novel is like watching an entertaining sitcom -- its characters are too zany to be real, but they're irresistible nonetheless....Coomer manages to squeeze a fascinating range of human experience into one little street in Texas.
Kirkus Reviews Thirty years' worth of secrets, most having to do with sex and love, are exposed in the course of one frantic day in this deftly plotted mix of comedy and romance....Coomer manages it all with a surprisingly light, often witty, touch....A sharply observant and engaging entertainment.
