I have just learned that today is #RespectYourCatDay so big respect to all you cats out there!

All with brillustrations by the illustrious @Munkey_Pants

Happy #NationalCatDay. I'm allergic to cats but, as a writer, I do seem to have an endless fascination with them. I'm currently 33,749 words into a new book about cats (again, very different again to all of these - no publisher yet) and earlier this week...

I more hear my characters than see them when I write, so it's always a real thrill to see how the extremely talented & brilliant (& overworked) @Munkey_Pants will bring them to life in our series Solve Your Own Mystery. Look at these beauties.

Once again, I find myself (someone with an allergy to cats) writing about cats. Today's question:

What do cats get up to when they go 'out' out?

@PhilipArdagh also, relation of these guys perhaps?

In the third Solve Your Own Mystery book, the magic goes missing & Haventry starts heating up to record temperatures. What's the connection? Unfortunately, your yeti boss can't think straight in such blistering heat so this time it really is down to YOU!

Published this Autumn

When I can't write (like at the moment) I feel like such an abject failure so I stare at my previous books wondering how they happened & who it was who wrote them & where he's gone.

Schools, if you book me to visit your school this coming Autumn term the price includes 10 of my books for your school!

Email garethwrites@hotmail.com to make the booking. Lots of dates available but a limited offer.

There's nothing like an underwhelming royalty statement to remind you of the yawning gap between how you present yourself (award winning author) and how most view you (Er, who?). I am extremely appreciative of those who do of you who do buy, sell & promote my books.
