Blueskin the Cat

Posted on 28/08/2011 by admin

Many years ago my mother said she thought the name ‘Blueskin’ was a good one for a book as it was the name of a real highwayman in the England. The book I wrote has become her  favourite as it charts the adventures of a man reincarnated as a cat in the seventeenth century, as he tries to gain revenge upon the brothers who arrested him and crosses the ocean to America where he ‘finds himself’.

The whole idea is to write ten books, the sequel is already finished and I have a third started. The first has been beautifully illustrated with watercolours by Gabriela with a wonderfully evocative cover. The paperback book will be available before this Christmas, is about 60+ pages in 7 x 10 format so perfect for young children who enjoy a few pirates, a storm at sea and lots of humour.

We will have to see how well it does before we know if Little Wolf will be published as it will probably be up to Gabriela if she wants to get involved with a second book, series are good ideas only if they are well read. that said everyone who reads it enjoys it and I hope you will too.
