A flurry of sales

No, not another foray into the world of collective nouns. More a surprised remark, with eyebrows raised. Over the past few weeks the sales of The Cat Kin: Cat’s Paw have really picked up. It’s important to get this to scale: ‘really picked up’ in the world of POD means ‘sold a few copies as opposed to none at all’. So I’m not seeing pound-signs but still, it’s heartening. One brave soul even bought two copies in one go. Thank you, whoever you are. It means that a few more people are now reading the near-mythical Cat Kin sequel (am I allowed to give it that status? The near-mythical sequel? I hope so, for I just did.) And thus striking a blow for… well, for me. Which is nice. And of course for pashki practitioners the world over.

Anyway, encouraged by this, I’m going to have some copies of the book on sale at the Bolton Book Award in June. If you happen to be headed that way, and if you don’t yet own a copy of Cat’s Paw (I know there must be a few out there who still don’t) then that could be your chance. It may even be signed, you never know…

Yes! Well done!

A signed copy? If you can wangle me an invitation, I'll be there. Bolton might not be like Stockport and ban me?

Actually, this is encouraging. Somebody, somewhere seems to be noticing.
