I had just adopted a kitten from another stray who’d had a litter in my back yard a year before, and the two of them were already friends when I saw them together. So I put the food outside where they both had access to it. She liked Charlie, an orange tabby, but was not ...
For instance, right now I'm in the middle of co-writing a book – on movies for a change, out autumn next year – whilst editing two DC Heroes & Villains Collection volumes and pondering what to write for the two volumes after those. All of which leaves me little time to do anything...
