During the height of lockdown last summer, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Business Life Online for their podcast. The brainchild of Richard Maun and Anna Stevenson, the podcast (which is also available on Spotify) The focus was on writing – how I write, how I got into writing and, of course, Sandstorm …

I am in London for an incredible horse show, GCAT I am in London for an incredible horse show, GCAT London, but The Magic of Mister Mishkins has come with me. I am enjoying brunch before heading to the Royal Chelsea Hospital this afternoon.

I found a super cute coffee shop - @katcoffeecompany - and I ordered a honey kat juice: carrot, ginger, lemon, and honey, not appreciating that it would be orange in colour! It is the perfect drink to go with the book, and I am sure that Mister Mishkins would approve.

It will soon be time to get ready and head to the show to see the stunning mares and stallions, but for now, I am going to linger a while, and ponder upon all things feline.

Doing any of the the things on this post will cost you nothing, but will help me hugely as an author. If you can do just one of these things, that would be amazing. 

Thank you so much in advance.

A slightly belated but no less heartfelt thank you A slightly belated but no less heartfelt thank you to everyone for a wonderful book launch for The Magic of Mister Mishkins!

It was a beautiful weekend in The Old Pharmacy in Burnham Market, with the very best of the @tuscanfarmshop on offer to refresh guests, and wonderful music from @jbrooksguitar. A huge thank you to @her_dark_materials, Poppy,  @oldschoolbooks_burnhammarket @books_coffee_cake, Adam, and more for making the magic happen. 

Above all, a huge thank you to all who have purchased the book. I truly hope you are enjoying it, and I look forward to reading your reviews. 

Thank you again, Samantha & Mister Mishkins xx
My ultimate treat is lamb kleftiko and it seemed l My ultimate treat is lamb kleftiko and it seemed like the perfect dish to celebrate my book launch. 

This is the perfect hands-off, delicious dinner - a little bit of chopping, chuck it in the pan, and let the oven do the work, meaning you can relax and enjoy family time. The lamb, as ever, from the brilliant @theforequarter and it was full of flavour.

I went super garlicky with this dish as I need a boost ahead of a busy week. Washed down with the smoothest Tuscan red from @tuscanfarmshop and this  ticked all the boxes.

Today is the day! The Magic of Mister Mishkins is Today is the day! The Magic of Mister Mishkins is released into the world!

I cannot wait for you to have this book in your hands. The Magic of Mister Mishkins is book two in The Magical Mister Mishkins series, and it is such a lovely book with a story to enchant and illustrations to capture the heart. 

I will be up at Burnham Market today and tomorrow in The Old Pharmacy so please do come and say hello, have a look through, and maybe even purchase a signed copy. 

What a perfect day to launch a book about cats, on International Cat Day, and on the Lionsgate Portal. Time to dream another little dream, and wait for the magic to happen.

Samantha & Mister Mishkins xx
