Victoria Harwood’s children’s book, entitled Bush-Hog, is about the friendship between a cat and a strange, small, furry creature.
Said Victoria: “I have always enjoyed writing and drawing. My ambition was to get a book on the shelves at some point in my life.
“I would write short stories all the time as a hobby so after a few years my fiancée bought me a Netbook.
“I started writing a story and added some humour with some animal facts and soon had a story. Some areas needed changing but after a while I was happy with the outcome.”
