Conversations with Tom
By
Angela Lockwood
When Jeff and
his wife Lisa adopt a kitten named Tom, they have no idea their marriage is in
trouble. When the fluffy kitten turns out to be a boisterous cat, hell-bent on
destroying furniture, Lisa realises life isn’t turning out the way she’d
planned. Tom’s conviction that 4am really is the best time of day, plus her
husband’s disastrous business sense, soon drives Lisa into the arms of another
man.
Newly single, and at a loss, Jeff turns to his cat for a sympathetic furry ear. The witty and convincingly cat-like character he imagines becomes the friend he so desperately needs. But as his owner agonises about love and life, Tom concerns himself with more important matters, such as soliciting tuna and how to get better acquainted with the neighbour’s rabbit. Although they don’t always understand each other, Jeff and Tom form an unbreakable bond – until a trip to the vet changes everything…

What did I think of the Book?
A must read for Cat
Lovers and anyone who needs a pick-me-up!
Can you
remember Garfield? You know the comic strips that were always on the back page
of the newspaper? Well, this is Garfield for adults. It is hilarious, from the
first page to the end, you will never look at a cat again without wondering
what they are thinking!
Tom, the
cat, is clearly the hero of this story, while the life of his owner plays out
around him, but as long as Tom has an endless supply of Tuna, everything will
be fine. Apart from the visits to the vet, I mean, what is that all about? That
is just wrong!!
Conversations
with Tom is a charming book. I was completely enthralled with the story. Jeff, Tom's owner, doesn't have a lot of luck in either love or business, but he does
have Tom (or Tom's as he begins to call him later on in the book) whom he
adores beyond all reason. As the years pass by Jeff really grows as a
character, he is incredibly likeable and totally believable and he is as
adorable as his cat!
This book
for me was just a real corker and do you know what? I am going to read it again because it just
made me laugh out loud so many times.
This one is a
keeper and now I want a cat!!
I Highly
Recommend.

About the author
Cameron's story was born in the spring of 2013, a very wet spring during which Angela found herself climbing the walls, frustrated that she couldn't go out and have her usual long walks along the seafront. Seeing his wife's frustration, Adam suggested 'Why don't you write a book?'
Angela thought about it for a few days, then switched on her laptop and started writing. Language in the Blood (Book1) was her first book. She has since published two more titles.And published short stories in two independent author anthologies:'You're not Alone' and 'Holes.'
