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!

 About Kiwi in Cat City... 

Have you ever wished your cat could talk or wondered where he/she goes when you are not around?

Kiwi in Cat City is the first book in a series, of which there are six fun adventures so far. 

Kiwi seems like a typical moggie, content to nap in the sun and chase shadows, but she has a secret. She is a magical cat from a place called Cat City. With her two humans, James and Amy, Kiwi finds mysteries and adventures, dealing with catnappings, jewel thieves, giant rats, time travel, haunted houses, Father Christmas, pyramids and more. The fun stories contain positive messages about loyalty, friendship, honesty, bullying and the power of standing together. 

Book 1 opens on one dark night. Amy cannot sleep and she looks out of the window into the garden to see her cat, Kiwi, transfixed by the moon, which is glowing brightly like a cat's claw. Waking her brother, James, Amy suggests they follow Kiwi to see where she goes... whether it involves a hunt for mice or something else. Little do they know that with a flick of her tail, Kiwi is going to magically change the children into kittens and lead them on the adventure of their lives to a land they never knew existed in their wildest dreams. In the blue-lit world of Cat City, the budding detectives help Inspector Furrball to investigate the mysterious catnapping of Mr Katz and find out what happened to Madame Purrfect.

The books contain illustrations by Nikki McBroom. 

Furry fun for ages 9-99.
