Meet the Author
Dallas executive Richard Lentz has gone to the dogs; particularly to his pet dachshund Roo. The unique and lovable dachshund became the inspiration for Richard’s first children’s book called Life’s Little Lessons by Roo, More Than Just A Dachshund. Roo became such a big part of Richard’s life he decided to write a second book, to chronicle his final memories with his insightful companion. It’s called Roo—The Journey Continues.
The books reflect a life journey through the eyes of Roo, a miniature dachshund. Roo’s experiences are filled with many emotions, trials and tribulations just as people encounter. Roo meets all of these experiences head-on while sharing his thoughts and lessons learned with his readers, which may possibly help them through their similar situations. Readers young and old can experience life’s roller coaster ride with Roo. He will have you laughing, crying, and contemplating all along the way.
As Roo became older, and eventually passed, Richard decided to complete the journey with a companion book.
As founder and CEO of his 35+ year-old landscape lighting company, Lentz Landscape Lighting, Richard said finding time to dedicate to writing this book was difficult but important.
