Query: Dog Days of Short Story Writing

Most of the short stories found within this compilation are clearly based on the authors' own lives. Thinly veiled plotlines with highly implausible and illogical points, all with dogs as the only common thread. I'm always willing to give authors a try, especially those I've never heard about prior to finding a book, but I believe there's a reason these are not on the best-seller lists.
