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…

CAT'S PAW is here

Pashki: the ancient Egyptian art of moving like a cat.

The Cat Kin: London’s most unusual after-school club.

But the Cat Kin are not the only ones with extraordinary skills. Ben Gallagher has stumbled on a far more sinister gang, ruled over by a man with a horrific past. Deep beneath the city streets hides a deadly secret that Ben and Tiffany must uncover – but can the evil be stopped in time, even with the help of their remarkable new teacher, Geoff White? No-one can hope to emerge unscathed when cat meets polecat…

What is this? What’s going on?

Well. Rather than wait for publishers to pull their socks up, I’ve produced my own edition of the Cat Kin sequel. CAT’S PAW is bigger, faster, scarier and more exciting than THE CAT KIN, carrying on the story from where that book left off.

CAT’S PAW will some day be available in bookshops, in a different edition – I don’t know when but it will. However, if you liked THE CAT KIN, now is your chance to own the unofficial homemade version of the sequel – a guaranteed rarity as well as a thumping good read. Just pop over to my website to find out more, including how you can get your hands on a copy. Go on, you know you want to… Click on the book cover above.
