Hi,
As an Usborne Organiser and recently finding your Knitbone Pepper books very popular with my customers, I was wondering if you had anymore plans for another book to add to this series?
One girl has read your series 2 already and her Mum has only just bought them from me she absolutely loves the stories.
Many Thanks
Claire Scott

Hello Claire, I’m very pleased to hear this and thank you! Yes, the fourth book in the series is coming out on April in April 2019, called ‘Knitbone Pepper and the Silver Phantom’. This one is about Martin’s special person – Winnie’s grandfather. Do say hello to the little girl concerned for me won’t you and tell her i’m really pleased she loves them.
Warmest wishes
Claire ( also!)

So glad to hear your doing another book in the series. I bought a signed copy of the last circus tiger at a local bookshop. Our son loved it so I went searching for others, he was gutted when I told him we’d read them all.
His favourite character is Orlando, which is funny as its our surname too. 😊It really has given him a love of stories. (Which I’m greatful for, as I couldn’t take much more of the dinosaur encyclopedia. The names are impossible to pronounce!😂)

Hello Suzanne and Vito! That’s so lovely to hear and thank you for letting me know, it means a lot. The fourth in the series is out on the 4th of April ( have you read the 3rd A Horse Called Moon by the way?) so there’s a whole new adventure coming. And your name is Orlando? How perfect!🐒 X

Hello 🙂
I wanted to thank you for writing such an incredible book. I am mum to two wonderful children and we are unfortunately approaching our lovely dogs golden years. Your story has not only opened a gentle dialogue about what comes after but also had us rolling about in stitches when the writing takes us by surprise.
One day I will write my own story and I can only hope that it holds half the style, character and wit of yours 🙂

Woof woof 🐶,
I’m a Teaching Assistant at a Primary School and was lucky enough to sit in on your visit to some Year 5 & 6 children. I’m so pleased I got the opportunity 😊 your books are beautiful we’ve bought the first two for my animal mad 9 year old daughter Grace, who adores all creatures great and small . Upon our journey home from school we had to divert via the local book shop as my 11 year old son James who is too cool for school and footy mad wanted the first book and the Picklewitch and Jack book, I’m delighted as books that he enjoys are a thing that are few and far between! Thank for for inspiring him, and for bringing such beautiful books into existence I can’t wait to read them all , much love to you and all your four legged and two legged friends Sweetpea Smith 💐xxxx

Hello James! I’m so happy you love the Knitbone Pepper series. No more are planned just for now, but why don’t you make your own new Knitbone story up? What animals do you think should be next? I’d love to hear your ideas 😀📚🐾🐾🐾

Hello Claire,
You came to my school and I bought a signed book from you. I really enjoyed it so I bought your second book. I sadly forgot about them for a while re, but recently I went to go and read them again and I got really into them. I bought the whole collection and as soon as they arrived I was sat on my bed with my dog enjoying the thrilling tales of Knitbone’s adventures. I hope you haven’t finished the series as I would love to read more of them !

P.S.
Maybe you could do Santa and one of his reindeer beloveds ?

Hello Jocelyn, I’m SO delighted you have been enjoying Knitbone’s adventures. I’m afraid no more are planned for now, although one day i would like to write Orlando’s story. I found your idea for Father Christmas and a reindeer Beloved very interesting because I actually did start writing this very story a couple of years ago… maybe it will find its way onto the shelf one day. In the meantime maybe you could check out my Picklewitch and Jack series? It’s funny and magic too and there are two in the series, with another coming out next year. Take care, Claire x
