Cat
Tales is available as an eBook
I'm going to kick off things on a potentially painful note. When sharing your home
with a cat, it's advisable to remove anything that dangles. For instance, your dressing
gown cord or that loose thread you've been meaning to repair; otherwise you'll
find it being swatted with a well-aimed paw with claws that may or may not be
retracted. John, don't even think of walking about the house naked.
Is
this comedic collection of cat anecdotes a frank look at living with felines or
is it a case of ben trovato? That's
embellishment to you and me. I'll let you decide.

Musings
Amusing is available as an eBook
Musings
Amusing is an arid accumulation of anecdotes on modern life with all its
absurdities and 'Victor Meldrew moments' enabling you to point your finger and
chuckle knowingly at this collection of blog-type tales. Some of the stories
have been previously published by a few brave souls and Rosemary thanks the
persons responsible whilst congratulating them on their exceedingly good taste
and fortitude. She trusts they'll be off the medication before you can say
"repeat prescription".

A
book for children (ages 9-13 years)
Foreword
by Brian David of CheerReader.
Sid
in Space is available as an eBook
Sid and his family are regular people except for one thing - Sid is a spider. Yeah,
yuck! Get over it! I'll have you know he's just like you and me… apart from the
fact he's an insect, eats lemon meringue fly, his mum wears four pairs of
slippers instead of one and she's never heard of David Bowie… but no one's
perfect!
Sid's
dream is to become an astronaut, just like his dad, but when Sid
finds himself trapped inside a state-of-the-art shuttle and about to
blast off into space, Sid wonders if he's cut out for space travel after all. Meanwhile,
back on Earth, Sid's mum has got her legs full, all eight of them,
untangling hair extensions that went horribly wrong. Talk about Spaghetti
Junction.
A
humorous tale that is sure to appeal to everyone from 9-99 years.
Hidden
within the story is the name of a famous classic British poet and the first
fifty readers to find the name will win a signed Sid and Sally bookmark. Simply
email me at rbachholzer@yahoo.co.uk
with the name of the poet and for further details. Good luck!

and the Sign People is available as an eBook

Seagulls are people too, you know.
And
who is that mysterious dog? The sneaky one who skulks in and out of the palm
trees like an undercover James Bond? Who knows! Who cares! Sally does and she's
determined to uncover the truth. The future of Mrs Harris's sardine sandwiches
is at stake!
A humorous tale that is sure to appeal to everyone from 8-99 years.

A quote from Gill James, editor at Bridge House Publishing
"An anthropomorphic main character and a seagull at that is an unusual choice for a Young Adult short story. Yet Rosemary Bach-Holzer's Sally and the Sign People is up there with Richard Adams' Watership Down and Johanna Reicheis' Wolfsaga. I would challenge anyone not to be enchanted by the convincing teenage voice of Sally Seagull."

When I wrote about my life
in the quarterly newsletter for a local charity, my Christmas edition was voted
'the best ever!' along with the recipe for my silky chocolate cake which I
suspect is what tipped the scales.
I hinted at harbouring
feelings and secret ambitions married people weren't supposed to have. Did it
stem from taking my favourite philosopher to bed each night? Had Michel de
Montaigne finally penetrated? And was I alone in having a controlling but
colourful character for a mother who flew on Concorde yet shopped at Oxfam?
And is it just me who
drives a Mini on the pavement during rush hour? So what if some toes happened
to get flattened it was preferable to a head-on collision with a Mercedes-Benz.
Proposed readership is aimed at groups that may
include any type of organisation which features cats or disabilities
(particularly ME/CFS), or nostalgia (predominantly the early 1970s), and a host
of amicable nutters who are neither incapacitated or have a cat but against
their will find themselves tuning into James Last.
