The one where it's publication day for Christmas at the Cat Café
Happy publication day to me! Christmas at the Cat Café is OUT TODAY in all formats so thank you to anyone who has pre-ordered any format or bought/borrowed/downloaded it today. So very grateful!
The blog tour starts today and the first couple of reviews in have been gorgeous which is always a relief (especially when I've had a lot of negative early reviews on this one – more about that in a future post!) Thank you to all those wonderful bloggers/reviewers taking part and to Rachel Gilbey of Rachel's Random Resources for organising it.
I asked our Head of Marketing, Claire Fenby, if she'd design me a logo for the Castle Street Cat Café. Claire is a massive cat lover and has two gorgeous felines of her own – Freyja and Sybil – so this was a dream task for her. How much do I love this?
I've already had lots of lovely messages on social media and just adore this photo that blogger and author Karen Hollis sent me of her cat, Socks, who was clearly desperate to dive into the story and meet some new friends. Isn't Socks gorgeous? Thank you, Karen and Socks. Karen tells me that Socks is convinced that the cat on the bottom right of the cover is her :-) Awww.
The publication biscuits have arrived so I've just done a quick photo shoot with them. Confession: there might be only three of them left now! Probably should have checked the photos had come out okay before I scoffed any!
Do keep an eye on my author page for content shared across the day including a video and a giveaway of a signed paperback, notebook and coaster. The character is Klaus by Alex Clark Art. How adorable is he? And what a purr-fect name for a cat on a giveaway of a Christmas cat book!
Hope you have a purr-fectly gorgeous day.
Big cat hugs

It's the most wonderful time of the year on Castle Street, and there's a paw-some new business opening....
It had always been Tabby's dream to work with cats and an inheritance from her beloved nanna has finally made that a reality. Idyllic Castle Street in Whitsborough Bay couldn’t be a better place for pastry chef Tabby to open a cat café with her boyfriend, Leon.
But when Leon leaves her in the lurch, the pressure mounts for Tabby. With Christmas fast approaching, she has to open the café on her own – a daunting prospect, especially when she's been hiding her health issues from the ones she loves.
Faced with local resistance to the café – and somebody seemingly determined that she won’t succeed – Tabby will need her friends, family and cats more than ever to recover her broken Christmas spirit and pull together for a Christmas miracle.
Will the cat café bring the festive joy to Castle Street as Tabby had hoped or will it be a cat-astrophe? And can the magic of Christmas on Castle Street mend Tabby's broken heart as well as her business?
Escape with million-copy bestseller Jessica Redland this Christmas for the purr-fect festive treat!
