About the author

Geoff Bain was born in Liverpool, England and attended Liverpool Institute High School at the same time as two of the Beatles - Sir Paul McCartney and George Harrison. After some world traveling, he settled in California, and became a Real Estate broker. He now resides in Orange County with his wife Dawn, and Spunky the cat. The inspiration for his first book, "Just One More Day", came from an uncertainty as to when it would be the right time to call the vet to say good-bye to Abby, an Australian Shepherd who had just been diagnosed with Bone cancer. Abby was the first dog in Geoff's life and she left her paw-prints on his heart.
