Hasslers published their first storybook in October 2007.
Warmly received by their industry peers, their debut title, Loving Marley, has
earned twelve literary honors including an iParenting Media Award, the prestigious
Mom's Choice Award, and the Dove "Family Approved" seal, Creative Child
Magazine award Book of the Year Award and has been nominated for the

important role in the humane treatment of pets. They encourage fellow writers and

The authors reside in Connecticut with Marley and Belle, the real-life inspiration for
the PugTale Adventures storybooks.
