You'll be fascinated by Cathy Glass' work Straykitten - although the title is very 'twee' , contents are serious and sad. Am looking out for more of Cathy Glass' books.

At present enjoying Eric Clapton's Autobiography, seems to be a very honest presentation, and confirms what we always suspected of our 'stars' during the 60s and 70s with regards to drink drugs and women but never knew for sure. S'wonder our older Rockers are still alive, by all accounts

Just finished Warrior Daughter by Jane Paisley - brilliant story couldnt put it down, based on authentic documentation by contmporary Roman witnesses et al during Stone Age Britain. Write some more please Paisley.
