"My standard contract isn't negotiable. I have no time to knit-pick with agents.". — a publisher in 2015 trying to scare me into signing The Library Cat over to her on the basis of zero advance, zero negotiation on licence term, and full claim to all rights. Reader, I refused.

He's not on here, or the other place, so if anyone knows the author Alex Howard please thank him for me for his wonderful book "The Ghost Cat", which just made me cry as I read it, sat outside our caravan, heartstrings being tugged like bungee ropes.

A delight to speak to a room of keen, sparky Austrian students about The Ghost Cat and how to develop creative writing techniques! ✍️🐈 . Many thanks to The Edinburgh Experience and Frau Beder for picking up a copy of my book in Graz and choosing to share it with her students! 🇦🇹
