Blog tour: Kiwi in Cat City - 99c sale

Hi, to celebrate Kiwi in Cat City being on sale for 99c / 75p this week and next, I'm on a blog tour, organised by Kim of MasterKoda (ra, ra! big thanks!)

Here are the stops so far, if you'd like to check them out - 

Natalie Star is hosting me here. I'm talking about the furry inspiration behind Kiwi in Cat City and the Kiwi Series - my love of animals and birds since I was a kid, and a cat I used to have called Kiwi. She died in 2000, and I wrote the book in 2002.

A little preview...

Describe yourself in one word –

Daydreamer.

What super power would you like to have?

The ability to fly like a bird, of course. Or time travel. But then invincibility would be cool too. Can I have all three?

Thank you!

Kiwi and the Living Nightmare

Book 3 in the Kiwi Series, but can be read as a standalone book

Amy, James and Kiwi embark on their spookiest adventure yet - on Halloween. What begins with an eerie dream about a three-legged cat will take the budding detectives on a quest to find an old house in the middle of the woods, meeting some familiar characters and some perky squirrels along the way. Little do they know that there awaits an angry, restless ghost that will do anything to stop them leaving.  

Day of the Living Pizza

Detective Smarts of Crazy Name Town has a problem. Doctor Boring and his receptionist have been bumped off, and the only clues at the scene are some olives, tomatoes, mushrooms and sprinkles of oregano. With the town folk dropping like flies and strange figures stumbling down the streets, Officer Dewdrop has an idea.

Day of the Pesky Shadow

After his previous oregano-sprinkled adventure, Detective Smarts is still finding it hard to look at a pizza, never mind eat one. But there is a new mindboggler to solve - who is the mysterious, dark figure causing the townsfolk's legs to go wibbly wobbly? Smarts and sidekick Dewdrop are hot on the trail.

Book launch: Kiwi and the Serpent of the Isle

Out now!

I'm happy to announce that book 4 in the Kiwi Series is out today for the special introductory price of 75p/$0.99 (ebook). It is also available in paperback. The story takes Kiwi & friends to the UnderPaw, a dark crimicat world below Cat City, and to the mystical, watery Isle where they meet their most powerful foe yet - the Serpent. In a side story, the hamsters want equal rights!

Thank you!

Book blurb:

In book four of the Kiwi Series, the wedding of Inspector Furrball and Madame Purrfect approaches. But, catastrophe, the ring is stolen from the Gem Shop! A pawprint identifies Fyre Cracker as the thief, but he lives in the dark world of the UnderPaw beneath Cat City, which is inhabited by crimicats. It’s up to the Kiwi Klub to find the ring. In the human world, the hamsters decide to stand up for their rights to better plastic wheels and an abundance of sunflower seeds. Meanwhile, the dastardly Dev shocks Kiwi with the news that he knows a big secret about her family – that her father, Delphinius, may still be alive! The key is The Sculptor, who will lead Kiwi and friends on their biggest adventure yet – to the strange Isle of the Serpent where they will come face to face with their most dangerous adversary so far.
