Author gets swine flu, doesn’t find pig

Jon Blake writes:

I’m just recovering from a nasty dose of swine flu. Unlike the cat flu in ‘The Last Free Cat’, it hasn’t led to hugely expensive pigs, nor have I found an unlicensed one in my garden. But the pandemic has shown how the events in The Last Free Cat really are feasible.

While convalescing I’ve been delighted to find an enthusiastic new customer review on Amazon.

I’m currently at work on an adult novel about the 1969 Isle of Wight Festival of Music (the one starring Dylan). My dad was the electrical contractor for it and I was there at 14. There is a website about it (suitable for teens and adults) here.

Top books blog recommends Last Free Cat

Stefanie Hollmichel’s So Many Books is one of the most respected books blogs on the internet – nearly a quarter of a million hits.   Stefanie’s recommendations are always looking out for, and now they include The Last Free Cat, of which she says: “it is. . a story about finding the truth, working for a greater cause and taking a stand. The book is also filled with wonderful instances of the kindness of strangers and goodness coming from unexpected places. If you have a cat-loving reader on your holiday list this year, this might be the book for them.”

The Last Free Cat, at the moment, is only in UK bookshops, but thanks to the wonders of Amazon and other online stores, anyone in the world can order it, so let’s hope it now gets some fans in the USA and beyond!

Another great review for The Last Free Cat

“The Last Free Cat is one of the best young adult adventures in a long time. Be prepared to share. Everyone will want to read this.” So says Sam North on the Hackwriters site. The full review is here.
