This is the story of two springer spaniels and their unrelenting quest towards enlightenment.
Supported by their trusted companion The Bookshelf, and guided by an unwavering belief in the teachings of the Buddha, they undertake to discover the truth surrounding the reincarnation of the Buddha’s dog. The story takes an unusual twist when a mysterious cat arrives. The cat, Amara, believes he has used eight of his nine lives and is suffering from anxiety and uneasiness. He has travelled from afar to find Half-Sister in the hope that she will teach him to live in the present moment and therefore enjoy his final life on planet Earth. However, it soon becomes apparent that all is not as it seems, and that Amara holds a secret that Half-Sister must unravel if the truth is to be revealed. The Enlightened Spaniel–The Cat with One Life Left is a charming story that winds its way down a path filled with ancient wisdom, humour, and compassion for all living beings.

About the author

11 books9 followersI’m a bestselling author of books with a leaning towards spirituality and nature, I get it from my grandmother. There is never a book without a dog, or a cat, wandering somewhere between the pages.
I’ve been a piano player, and a meditation teacher. I like to think that within my books are little snippets of wisdom, little gems picked up along life’s journey.
In 2019 The Enlightened Spaniel – A Dog’s Quest to be a Buddhist was published. It has become an international bestseller and has to date been translated in five languages.
In 2020 the second book of The Enlightened Spaniel Trilogy – The Cat with One Life Left was published. The final book, The Stone of Truth followed in 2021.
My latest book A Gift for a Curious Mind will be published in the near future.
I continue to live in North East England and take my inspiration from the stunning landscapes and wildlife that bless the area. There is always a story hidden in the present moment – if you pay attention.
