Never having written before, there was always a thought at the back of my mind that wondered if I could, although I never really had the time. After a career in both Hospitality Management and Education, I am now retired and have the time and the freedom to explore my ideas.
I have always enjoyed reading and particularly like stories translated from Japanese folklore where mystical cats improve the lives of those around them. My story is Pebbles the Helping Cat; he was a real cat, and the tales of his escapades are mostly true. The drawings were an afterthought and by far the most challenging part of the process.
Now that my first story is complete, I have already started on the next with ideas beyond that, and I am looking forward to seeing where my imagination takes me.
