This is entirely Jackie Morris’ idea, so we’ll see how it goes. Here’s one of the sketches for the new Katie book…just to get the ball rolling. Thanks for looking

Lovely pictures James. I am so envious, being only any good at stories, but not at pictures! Amazing to see your work (and Jackies) online. I shall add you to my bloglist and hopefully anyone visiting my blog will take a look at your lovely work.

I’m with the Ginger Cats, I like your stuff too!

Thank you Griffin, you’re very kind. And don’t put yourself down…writing well is a real skill. My writing is just dabbling, because I’m preoccupied with pictures most of the time. so I feel very underconfident about the written word!

Good luck with your writing – I’ll take a look later!

Good ol’ Gingers!

Yes, Katie’s really in for it this time – everything goes wrong! But she’ll survive, of course…

Thanks for looking!
