A debut children’s book
A lifetime in the making
When I was 12 years old, our family cat – Dinky – went missing. For two days we searched high and low, only for Dinky to be finally spotted up a tree in the churchyard opposite our house. The fire brigade were called, and Dinky was eventually rescued.
At the time, my mother proclaimed “I’ll write a book about this some day”. But she never did. When the pandemic struck and in need of a project, I thought I would give it a go…
Writing a children’s book is a world away from my life in the corporate world, and have taken great inspiration from my wife, our two boys, their cousins, our dog and all my god children. Oh, and two cats too!
I have always loved writing, and particularly in rhyming couplets. It has been a wonderful experience creating Dinky The Cat, and I hope you enjoy her adventures!
