Re-release Due October 2018

​I am busy working with my new publisher, Waldorf Publishing LLC, on the re-release of "Stig's Flight of Encounters". The cover is now ready, editing in progress and images scanned.
​The actual book size will change to the standard paperback size of 8" by 5". But most exciting of all the images of my artwork will be bigger and in FULL COLOUR (or COLOR if you're from the States.)

​I can't believe it's 3 years since we moved back to the UK after living in New Zealand for 14 years. We brought our 8 year old Border Terrier, Tweed, back with us - she sadly died a year later. Just before we acquired a buddy for her, Jesse, a male Border Terrier, now nearly 2 years old, he has a great sense of humour. Jesse is almost identical to this picture, well he is when he's been groomed!

Border Terriers were used follow the fox or vermin when it went to ground, during a hunt. To corner it, then either eradicate on the spot or else cause it to return to the surface. The Border Terrier was bred to be energetic, alert, and agile. He also needed to be able to run quickly over any type of ground and squeeze through narrow openings.
​Border Terriers have a loose fitting hide (skin), which protects them from the bites and scratches of the hunted animal.
