Is there any artistic reason for why a Guernsey cow in Cows was chosen as the main bovine?
Matthew Stokoe
Hi Kat, Well, I like the sound of the word. Also, Guernsey is one of the Channel Islands and I have a bit of a connection to another of these islands through family (evacuated a day before the Nazis invaded). And lastly, Guernseys are gentle, beautiful cows and I thought the juxtaposition of this with the conflict the Guernsey drove in the book would add some dimensionality/complexity to the character. I hope that answers your question. Do let me know if you need more info. Cheers, Matthew.

I appreciate Cows on so many levels. Thanks for that. I was hoping that you had plans to do book signings in NY. Any chance?

Mr Stokoe, Being a fan of Cows, High Life and Empty Mile, I was hoping to produce a mind-play of Colony of Whores. Unfortunately, the book itself is unavailable to purchase from any outlet of which I am aware. Is there any chance that it will become available again at some point in the future? Thanks for your time. Todd White
