Hi,

These are the photos that I promised from the 3rd book launch, that we held in London on 8th September. It was a great day, all in all - and ended up with some of us having a bit of a boogie in London's Duckie nightclub.

Although I had just published GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS AND THE BEARGRRRIAN DILEMMA, I was also launching the other 3 books that I've published, so far in 2007 (not including the limited edition DUNBAR SPRING.) The other books were the poetry collection RHYMES BEARS STEAL PIES FOR and the other two mouse books GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS AND THE MOUSES OF PARLIAMENT and MOUSE TAILS AND MICE TALES.

I hope you enjoy the book launch - the next one will probably be around February 2008, provisionally February 2nd to be exact.

More soon!

Above. Thanks to everyone for coming along. You made an old yeti very happy! :)

THE NEW MOUSE OF COMMONS BOOK IS OUT!!!

Above. The Paperback cover for GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS AND THE BEARGRRRIAN DILEMMA

Hi,

Just an update to let everyone know that I've just published a new Mouse of Commons novel. I've been working on it since last autumn - as with all of the mouse novels - I'm working on them at different stages and the complete process working like this takes about 9 months.

It's called GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS AND THE BEARGRRRIAN DILEMMA and involves the story of what happens when bear superstar Charlie Grrr is kidnapped by the evil dictator Pot Pie Du-Belly and is sent back to his home country to stand trial for pie crimes. He is, strangely enough, actually innocent of these claims and Gladstone and friends decide that they must go to his rescue. The only problem being that they don't actually know where the country of Beargrrria actually is!!

The book is 450 pages long and contains photos that I took whilst travelling in Paris, Rome and Prague last autumn.

The paperback is £10.99 and the hardback £16.99 and the links are below:

I'm having another book launch this Saturday, 8th September in London - so there should be some photos next week on www.mouseofcommons.blogspot.com

Hope you're well!

Take care,

Paul :)

PS The Hardback cover will be posted next time - but you can check it out by clicking on the link. :)
