Things have been a bit quiet here at Dishin' It over the past couple of months while I've been getting another passion project off the ground...
I'm delighted to share that I have released my first children's rhyming picture book, 'Big Dog and the Home for Lost Hounds', which shares the story of a stray dog who's in search for a new home and place to fit in.
Not fitting in can be scary and my first tale is set to show children that being different is your best asset. I was quizzed by Alan Parker on his ShmuFM show, Parker's Packed Lunch, to share the story behind the book and it's here for you to listen in.

About the book
The dogs at the Home for Lost Hounds are puzzled when a peculiar dog moves into the rescue shelter.
Big Dog is large, lanky and he definitely doesn't fit in with the other dogs. Is there a place for a dog that doesn't fit in?
You'll have to read his clumsy tale to find out.
