“A Helping Paw” by Allan Gilmour
” . . . a truly inspiring story . . .”
Tredition UK “Book of the Month” May 2019
Aren´t you both a little excited about your new venture lads? Look at the video:-
To tell you the truth daddy, I´m as frightened as hell about the very prospect of it all, especially because my paw appears on the cover. I don´t know why we started such a thing.
I just hope the poor people still like us after they have read our little book. We cats are not used to writing books.
I´m sure everything will be alright, after all, our new book is not much different than our blog.
So why did we do it? If it´s not much different than our crazy blog then there doesn´t appear to be much reason for producing such a thing.
I wish you both wouldn´t keep referring to our new book as “a thing”.
I`m sure somebody out there loves pussycats and will be interested to learn a little bit more about themselves. We only released the book 6 weeks ago and it is has already become a UK “Book of the Month” May 2019. I was just as surprised as you two. That gave us a buzz didn´t it? The publisher has even written a nice review of our work. Here is the link:-

I just hope we haven´t gone over the top on this project daddy. You know we cats like to keep a low profile.
Purrrhaps nobody is really interested and we can keep our low profile.
Which would have been a waste of time now wouldn´t it?
Try to embrace the challenge. I have faith in what we do.
Well, although I´m a little uneasy about it all, I´m still rather curious to find out what happens. Perhaps somebody will like what we wrote.
Curiosity killed the cat, as they say Sir Winston. Still, I’m game if you are all game.
Let me show you the cover, Sir Winston, and then I can get some household duties done.
Here we are:- “A Helping Paw”
Available on all major book websites; for e.g. Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk or wherever your favourite bookstore may be. 🙂
And here is another promotional video:
It would be nice if some of you nice people out there would like to buy our book about our latest adventures.
We will hopefully see you next month. Bye bye, purr purr and a large meow for now. 🙂

Bravo and congratulations, Allan and Cats! I published two books of cat poems I wrote and sales have been low but not as discouraging as they could be. They’re under my former name, Lauren Bain, and the titles are “Glamorgan’s Tales: A Cat’s Garden of Verse” and “Glamorgan: He Who Would be Cat.” My old friend Linnea Cookson provided whimsical illustrations for both books.
Thank you for your kind words. Cats are fun to write about aren´t they? We never knew you wrote a few books. We will have to check them out. Is there an eBook version of your book because I can only find them on American Amazon? We always like to hear from you. Kind wishes out of the Black Forest. 🙂
I forgot to mention, Amazon pays us $0.19 on a book! It used to be $0.17!
I hope you can get more!
I very much doubt it, however if ordering directly from my publisher I do manage to get a better margin. 🙂
Wow, you can probably save up for an ice cream cone for 2 books! I couldn’t; I’m self-published.
I’m about to start A Helping Paw.
Stay cheered,
Lauren
Oh dear, we hope you like it a little bit.
Managed to find an eBook version of your book. Sir Winston helped me out. 😉
Hi, Allan–
I just bought A Helping Paw from Amazon. I’m about to read it. Cat people tend to read a lot. . .
Keep up the cheer,
Lauren
Thank you very much Lauren. I also purchased your eBook Glamorgan book of poems yesterday. 😉
I don’t like your book a liitle bit. I like it a whoke lot, a bunch, and very much. Really, Allan.
Why, thank you very much Lauren. It´s so nice you appreciate our stuff how you do. We are open for critic but we are totally amazed that you liked it so much. Thank you a million times. By the way, your Glamorgan book is so nicely written. I do not usually read poems but to tell you the truth, some of them kind of moved me a little. I was especially fond of “Glamorgan Takes Tea” and Skiddletum the Waterslide Cat” but they are all, truly from the heart. Kind wishes from the three of us. 🙂
Cool! 🤗😽
