    by Alex Howard (Author)

    A charming novel for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold and How to Stop Time, following a cat through his 9 lives in Edinburgh, moving through the ever-changing city and meeting its inhabitants over centuries

    Early morning, 1902. At 7/7 Marchmont Crescent, Eilidh the charlady tips coal into a fire grate and sets it alight. Overhearing, Grimalkin the cat ambles over to curl up against the welcome heat and lick his favorite human's hand. But this is to be his last day on earth...before he becomes the Ghost Cat.

    Follow Grimalkin as he witnesses the changes of the next 120 years, prowling unseen among the inhabitants of an Edinburgh tenement while unearthing some startling revelations about the mystery of existence, the unstoppable march of time and the true meaning of feline companionship. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Alex Howard is an author of award-winning fiction, editor and theater professional from Edinburgh. A doctoral graduate of English literature, he also writes poetry, which has been published in New Writing Scotland, Gutter and The London Magazine, among others, and his academic book, Larkin’s Travelling Spirit, was published in 2021 by Palgrave Macmillan. Alex works at Capital Theatres as a creative engagement coordinator and editor while renovating his Edinburgh tenement flat on the weekends with his cat, Tabitha; son, Sasha; and wife, Ellie.
