Overview
“Too Too Much” is what Mr. Teeply named the black Scottish terrier before offering him for free in a newspaper ad. He was too too much trouble, causing all sorts of Pet Shop mess-ups. He made too too much noise, howling to his cage mates. His left ear drooped. His nose was too big and his legs too short and stubby. Who would ever want such a puppy?
After reading the ad, Mr. and Mrs. MacTiggle were willing to give Too Too Much a home. They’d give the puppy three chances.
In too little time, Too Too Much’s chances quickly dwindled. His curiosity, bark, frisky ways, and non-stop sniffing nose led to mishaps and mischief.
Except, they also led to burning cookies, life-saving discoveries, and items Mr. MacTiggle lost. The puppy proved he was what the MacTiggles needed.
Once properly re-named, Too Much MacTiggle was simply too much puppy!

About the Author
There were a couple of books that she dreaded the thought of reading. The first was Old Yeller and the second was Pride and Prejudice. Until one day in the 8th grade, a double whammy occurred. An English teacher had assigned not just one, but both books for reading assignments that included essays. She did the unthinkable and read them both, all the way through. And can you believe it she enjoyed reading both books. By the way, she received an "A" on both essays.
Most of her childhood was spent traveling. She lived in Portugal for three years and did extensive traveling back and forth to parts of Spain. Get this at the age of 13 she spoke four languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese and French. She's a bilingual reader of Spanish and English.
Currently, she works for the Veterans Administration as a nurse. She has been working with veterans for the past 30 years. Her nursing career began at the Palo Alto VA in March of 1985 where she assisted with the opening of the TBI/CRC unit in 1987. In 1998, she transferred to the Livermore VA where she assisted with the opening of the Modesto VA Clinic. In 2003, she transferred to the Las Vegas VA, where she worked with veterans until 2010. Then she moved back to California where she continues to work with veterans at the Livermore VA. She has received numerous nursing awards for her dedicated service to veterans.
In her spare time, she continues to study Art History. She enjoys cooking, gardening, and traveling too, as well as going to a good movie with a friend and sharing a bag of hot buttered popcorn. A favorite was the Hobbit film series. Still a kid at heart, she also enjoys the old classic cartoons like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, The Flintstones, and Tom & Jerry.
Ms.Melendez has a son named Francisco who resides in Las Vegas. He's the joy of her life. She smiles when thinking about all the times they had spent together reading books when he was a child. Her son loved to hear her narrate books. She would change her voice to try and fit that of a particular character in the story. And she still has all of those books tucked away for safe keeping. Maybe someday her son will want to read them to his children. Maybe her zest for reading will pass onto them. Who knows, maybe they'll even have an urge to read Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys, maybe even Old Yeller and Pride and Prejudice.
She loves all animals and is a member of The Humane Society and The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. She's also a member of The Independent Book Publishers Association and The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
The Inspiration for her children's book Too Much MacTiggle, the first in a series, came from her little black Scottish terrier Rhoj aka Doodles. The nosiest dog ever! Just imagine living with Scooby Doo and Inspector Clouseau all rolled up into one big fur ball. If you have read her book, you will now know why she named the cookies loved by the main characters, including Too Much MacTiggle, "Crunchy Peanut Butter Snickerdoodle Cookies."
