It contains the following ingredients (proportions may vary): one little girl, one big dog, one ancient tree, one gift-pear; blended together with a dash of motherliness and a hint of cycling stranger.

Tom North lives in Oxford where he enjoys the refreshing and perpetual rain. He is in his mid-thirties. This, he has discovered, means that small white hairs grow out of his earlobes when he’s not looking. He spends a lot of time climbing rocks. He is the world’s worst snowboarder. Fact.
'Puttypaw', Tom's first novel, is nothing short of mesmerising. You really should read it! You can check out the large free sample on Smashwords (see links) and see for yourself.
Tom's second novel is in the pipeline and will emerge, blinking, sometime in 2012.
