January, 2010

Hey all!
Best wishes for a great year to all. 2009 was pretty difficult for so many. But I have high hopes for this year. Let me share what’s going on.

TIMMY’S IN THE WELL is back in hardback for a limited time, available here and at Amazon.com. This summer, it will be out in paperback with an additional chapter on our new dog, Buddy, our 2008 rescue. Thanks for asking about him so often. He’d had a pretty rough time of it before we got him, but he’s come a long way in our year with him. He’s a great little guy and we’re crazy about him.

I’m very excited to be involved with a new animated series called Elf Sparkle. It was just sold to NickToons. In it, I voice Prancer the Reindeer as well as an elf named Benny. Seems you can teach an old dog new tricks! And later this year, I will be directing a pilot for another children’s animated series called Toodles the Pink Poodle. My wife, Laurie is doing the casting and bringing some great stars to the project. Stay tuned and we’ll announce more soon. And btw, if you want a celebrity at your party or event, if you’d like to have lunch or dinner with one next time you’re in LA, if you want to be married by one – contact Laurie through www.livinglegendsltd.com

I’m really enjoying my column, YOUR CANINE CONNECTION, for Fido Friendly Magazine, a national travel and lifestyle doggie magazine. You know, my dyslexia made me insecure about my abilities as a writer. I had so much trouble with words all my life. But I have really grown to enjoy the entire process. And I must be OK because we get a great response from readers. Check it out at www.fidofriendly.com

Speaking of writing, I’m working on my 2nd book, a cookbook called TIMMY’S IN THE KITCHEN. Just like in my first book, I want to include my fans. If anyone would like to contribute a recipe they consider to be great American food, I’ll consider including it. If there’s a story about the recipe, even better. Send to: jon_provost@juno.com

I will put up a new RECOLLECTIONS page in February. Last October, I was reunited with Davy Jones after 42 years. Wait till you see the photos!

Be sure to check my APPEARANCES page throughout the year. And sign my GUESTBOOK so I can let you know what I’m up to. It may take me awhile, but I eventually answer everyone personally. All the best in 2010!

luv,
- Jon
