Squish The Dog

While not exactly a co-writer, Squish has been a big part of the writing of The Guitar Principal. She spent numerous nights sitting beside Wayne at the kitchen table as he struggled to find the perfect words, pull together ideas or land on just the right name for a character. She works for treats and was cool with making a couple of appearances in The Guitar Principal. This is also Squish’s first book.
