I’m enjoying Let Sleeping Cats Lie so much! I was triggered to order it when I saw a post about the softcover release. My granddaughter Miranda Alice will be the recipient, to celebrate the birth of her new brothers! I started reading it today myself, and I can’t wait to read them to the littles. Thank you for sharing your gift!

That’s so great. Hope the wee ones enjoy it, too.

Good evening,
I was introduced to your unique style in Marrakech last year at the ALC conference. I’d love to know where I can find your poems about the English language as they were hilarious and I want to spread the world.
Thank you

Hello Ayesha, I have fond memories of those days in Marrakesh. As for my language poems, they’re spread out across my books rather than in a single one. Perhaps the book with the most language poems in it is You Took the Last Bus Home. Alternatively, you may find I’ve posted quite a few of them on this website over the years. Hope this helps!

Loved hearing and seeing you in Aberteifi, Cardigan. Liked your bits about AI. For my Dad, an 85 year old farmer, AI always means Artificial Insemination. As a kid I remember conversations over the breakfast table between Mum and Dad about what time the “AI man” was coming, to serve the cows…
Another AI (of the above ilk) story: I met an interpreter at the European Parliament in Brussels. She described greatest faux-pas interpreting for an agricultural convention. At the point when she starting describing sailors, attendees below her in the conference room began looking very confused and tapping at their headphones. Semen NOT seamen, not sailors.

Ha! Thank you for those stories. I’ve heard from a number of folks about that alternative, older, interpretation of AI. If only we could have kept it to that definition.

Me and my friend came to see you at Warwick Arts Centre, I’d just like to say what a fabulous evening it was, you are extremely funny and we didn’t stop laughing the whole evening.

That’s such a lovely thing to say. Thanks so much to you both for coming along.
