The news is out!
I am thrilled to share that Land of the Last Wildcat, my debut middle grade book for children aged 8-11 (that’s a very rough guideline - anyone can read it) is being published by Macmillan Children’s Books in May 2025. You’ll get to meet 10-year-old Puffin who falls in love with a wonderful wildcat called the kuri with rumoured magical abilities. But the path of true love never did run smooth. Soon after meeting the kuri, Puffin finds her whole world upended because she risks everything to help the wildcat avoid the fate awaiting it. If you want to know a little more, you can read the trade press here and here.
