About Bayla
Why Bayla? In the early nineteen hundreds Bela Vitanyi passed through Ellis Island, and was asked his name. He responded "Bela" (pronounced "Bayla") which sounded like "Bill", so it was declared that his name would henceforth be Bill, short for William. Apparently he approved, naming one of his sons William, which started a family tradition of sorts. Thus, in an homage to Bela, my grandfather, the intrepid soul who lost his name at Ellis Island, and to phonics, I named my company Bayla Publishing.
As for me, I used to write computer programs for a medium-sized university. Along the way I authored a couple books and articles, and now use my free time as a retiree to continue to write - books, apps, and articles.
Featured: The Human Society
Papillons are known for their intelligence, and Paps has taken this to a new level. Thanks to time spent in front of the tee vee, he can read many human words, and even understands some human tech. His humans treat him well, but he wants more.
One day Paps sees a building where dogs go in, but only humans come out, seemingly transformed. This chance to become human leads to an amazing but perilous canine journey to gain access to The Human Society. Along the way he will question the very meaning of Canine existence.
