Forest Lukes

"Daschel Dachshund finds out about Colors!"

Born and raised in a farm, I learned from an early age the value of hard work, the beauty of Gods creation, and a love of animals. 

I always dreamt of being an author, but lacked confidence and support to do so. 

The Daschel Dachshund series is inspired by my beloved dachshund Keto, who sadly passed a year ago. The books are a way for me to honor his memory, and share with others the joy he brought to my life.
