The chosen name "Iam Steward" is used for the first book in this series, while the family and given name "Tim; Plummer" is used for this book. They are one and the same being. The reason for this is clarification. Choosing "Iam Steward" as a pen name was a way of recognizing man‛s role as stewards of this shared reality. Mankind ability to reason and choose has placed us in this role of stewardship. As stewards our choices as well as our acceptance of choices already made or being made by others, creates a shared reality that does not always benefit or bring value to the stewardship role. We hold this role of stewardship whether we recognize it or not. You are giving away a superpower by not recognizing your stewardship role placing your fate in the hands of those that may not use due consideration when making choices for you. Reclaiming Tim Plummer as AUTHOR, is a choice who is writing the script in my reality. My writing, no matter how far fetched (many will believe) is an expression of my will to improve our role as STEWARDS.

Lad: A Dog is a 1919 American novel written by Albert Payson Terhune and published by E. P. Dutton. Composed of twelve short stories first published in magazines, the novel is based on the life of Terhune's real-life rough collie, Lad. Born in 1902, the real-life Lad was an unregistered collie of unknown lineage originally owned by Terhune's father. Lad's death in 1918 was mourned by many of the story's fans, particularly children. Through the stories of Lad's adventures, Terhune expresses his views on parenting, obtaining perfect obedience without force, and the nature and rights of the "well-bred". Terhune began writing the stories in 1915 at the suggestion of his Red Book Magazine editor. They gained in popularity and, as Terhune was under contractual obligation to submit something to Doubleday-Page, he collected them into novel form. After Doubleday rejected the novel, he solicited other publishers until it was picked up by Dutton. After a slow start, the novel became a best seller in the adult fiction and children's fiction markets, having been repositioned as a young adult novel by Grosset and Dunlap in the 1960s and 1970s. Selling over one million copies, it is Terhune's best-selling work and the one that propelled him to fame. It has been reprinted over 70 times by Dutton, and republished by a variety of publishers since its original release, including at least six international translations. Contemporaneous critics praised Terhune's writing style and the overall story appeal, while dog breeders criticized his unrealistic canine characters. In retrospective reviews, critics considered that the novel had aged badly, and that Terhune displayed little actual writing skill, but noted that the novel was able to hold long-lasting appeal as it triggered the reader's desire to have such an ideal dog. Terhune himself considered the novel "hack writing" and did not understand why it was so popular. Because of its reception, he went on to publish two additional novels featuring Lad and one featuring Lad's son, Wolf, as well as many other fictional stories featuring dogs. Warner Brothers released a film adaptation in June 1962. A series of four children's picture books based on three of the stories from the novel were published by Margo Lundell between 1997 and 1998... Albert Payson Terhune (December 21, 1872 - February 18, 1942) was an American author, dog breeder, and journalist. The public knows him best for his novels relating the adventures of his beloved collies and as a breeder of collies at his Sunnybank Kennels, the lines of which still exist in today's Rough Collies. Albert Payson Terhune was born in New Jersey to Mary Virginia Hawes and the Reverend Edward Payson Terhune. His mother, Mary Virginia Hawes, was a writer of household management books and pre-Civil War novels under the name Marion Harland. Terhune had four sisters and one brother, though only two of his sisters lived to be adults: Christine Terhune Herrick (1859-1944); and Virginia Terhune Van De Water (1865-1945). Sunnybank (41.0012 N 74.2755 W) was originally the family's summer home, with Terhune making it his permanent residence in 1912. He was educated at Columbia University where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1893. From 1894 to 1916, he worked as a reporter for The Evening World.He boxed exhibition matches with James J. Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons and James J. Jeffries. His Sunnybank Kennels where he bred and raised rough collies were "the most famed collie kennels in the U.S."............

" N'arrive-t-il point parfois ceux qui font m tier d' crire qu'en tra ant le portrait d'un personnage, soit r el, soit fictif, ils lui pr tent, sans s'en rendre compte, des traits qui s'appliqueraient plus exactement eux-m mes, et qu'ils se d peignent ainsi sous un nom suppos ? On peut se demander si quelque r miniscence de ce genre ne fut point le fait de Vandal, lorsqu'il d crivit en ces termes, dans son loge acad mique de L on Say, la jeunesse de celui dont il occupait le fauteuil: En compagnie de jeunes gens de son ge, et de situation gale, il allait au plaisir et au mouvement; le monde, le bal, les soci t s diverses, la litt rature et l'art, les affaires, l'amusaient tour tour et le captivaient. On le rencontrait dans nos th tres, dans nos mus es, dans nos promenades, sur nos boulevards, sensible aux aspects divers de l'activit humaine et sensible la beaut des choses, amoureux de Paris, de la ville sans pareille qui m le tant de gr ce sa grandeur. Puis, au lendemain de cette vie qui se dispersait sur mille objets et semblait n'en cueillir que la fleur, une s rie d'articles sign s de lui fut presque une r v lation. De ces touches d licates, il n'en est pas une, semble-t-il, que ne doive fixer sur la toile quiconque pr tend peindre Vandal. Et l'on pourrait encore y ajouter ce que, quelques lignes plus loin, il dit de son pr d cesseur: Les amiti s qui lui vinrent cette premi re heure sont rest es celles de la derni re; elles ont fait c te c te avec lui la travers e de la vie. ..."
