I was born in Cleethorpes on the East Coast. The only child of Trevor and Lorraine.
I grew up in West Yorkshire, the setting for this adventure. Books and animals are two great loves of mine and I have managed to combine these in this, my first published book. My parents encouraged me to read and I will always be grateful to them for doing so. It developed my imagination and I hope I have put it to good use. Away from books and animals my other great love is for Liverpool. FC, YNWA!
Tia's Grand Tour by Stephen Maltas is a warm and charming tale about a small cat with a brave heart. When Tia wakes to find that her humans, Steve and Oksana, have left home without her, she feels scared and alone. But Tia refuses to give up. She begins a daring adventure to find them, travelling far beyond her cosy life. Along the way, Tia meets loyal friends — Zorro the clever fox, Sylvester the gentle pine marten, and Marcel, a kind street cat from Paris. Together, they cross forests, busy cities, and even another country. They face dangers, discover new places, and learn the true meaning of courage and friendship. Perfect for young readers and animal lovers, Tia's Grand Tour is a sweet and uplifting tale about hope, kindness, and never giving up.
Enter into a world of Christmas magic and see the world from a cat's point of view.
