I predict a mess...

Yes it's messy time again - now that Outnumbered by Cats is published I'm launching into a new project!

It's another picture book, and the text is already written, so I've got a summer of artwork ahead of me...

Now it's a while since I had my paints out, so things are going to get messy, especially with my little furry helpers... Basil and the Flappy Thing narrowly escaped getting paw prints all over the wet paintings, and that was a book about cats, so I would have sort of got away with it...

Book signings - book giveaways and online ramblings...

So my challenge for the week is to empty the first box of Outnumbered by Cats... that's the books not the cats.

There's only 2 books left in the first box... how hard can it be? It's a small print run of just 100 books, all will be hand numbered and signed.

I've got my marketing team on the case, but they all seem to be napping at the moment... well it is raining.

And they're not the sort of marketing team that I can take out and about to book signings, they really don't like going in the car...

So we're trying a joint effort online, me doing random ramblings and them looking adorable in photos... and so far, views are on the up for my various ramblings, and people are retweeting their cute photos, so we just have to convert those views and retweets to purchases...

OK so someone is getting impatient,
 so what about doing  a book giveaway...

That too seems to be a minefield of Ts & Cs anyone got any ideas they want to share...?

Every cloud has a silver lining

Every cloud has a silver lining, so what is the bright side of a rainy Saturday afternoon in May...?

It's the perfect excuse to curl up indoors with a book... and, after I'd shut the cats out of the kitchen - to prevent another missing chicken incident, broken up several fights started by an argumentative cat, miffed at being shut out of the kitchen, possibly because she had her sights on the chicken, but more likely that she just wanted to stay on her favourite chair: I'd tried several combinations of shutting doors to keep certain parties apart... finally everyone settled down and all was peaceful... my silver lining :)

The true story - complete with photos

After another couple of sales this week, Kryten will soon be getting his box!!

Just 2 more books in this box and then the box becomes a cat toy, to jump in , hide in, and ultimately shred...

Just one more week at launch price of £7.99 - so grab yourself something special - a book from a small print run of just 100 books - each one hand numbered and signed.

Outnumbered by Cats is a true story - share with me the joys and dramas of living with a house full of kittens...  and put faces to their antics with 82 colour photos.
