As we both looked at the moon, my heart was full — of my families, of my cat friends, of Tiger and, most of all, of our kitten, George.

I feel so lucky to be able to write a third Alfie book, so firstly I think a big thanks needs to go to my readers — thank you for buying my books and I hope you will continue to do so! Alfie has become such a part of my life, and my family, so it means a lot to me.

Thanks as always to my wonderful agents, Diane Banks Associates and everyone there, Kate, Diane, Chloe and Robyn. Also to all at Avon but especially my lovely editor Helen Huthwaite — still such a pleasure working with you!

To my family and friends who have been as supportive as always. You know who you are and how invaluable you are to my life. And my son, Xavier, who has been amazing as always.

I ran a Twitter competition to have someone’s cat as a small character in this book, and so I want to thank everyone who entered, it was so difficult and I would have loved to have chosen all the cats! There could only be one winner though, so congratulations to Pinkie, who is such a gorgeous cat, and her owner, Victoria Nikiforou — thank you both for being part of my book.

A special mention for Moira and Charles Huthwaite. I hope you like our tribute to Mr B: always missed but never forgotten.

Again, it has been a joy to bring Alfie to life once again, so a massive thanks to anyone who has made this possible and I hope you enjoy Alfie & George.

Before George, it all started with Alfie the Doorstep Cat

After having a child she moved back to Devon and decided to take the plunge and juggle motherhood with writing.
