FRANK KUSY is an aspiring Buddhist and incorrigible cat lover. He wrote his first cat book when he was eight. It was called 'Jessie the Cat' and even his mum liked it. There followed 'Toad's Dilemma' (a sequel to Frank's all time fave kid's book, 'The Wind in the Willows') and a whole host of similarly derivative anthropomorphic master-pieces. Only after a short affair with journalism in his 20's did he write anything with a human being in it (the Financial Times insisted upon it), and only after he went to India, aged 30, did he stop writing about cats (he only saw one in India). Frank's first published book (1986) was a travelogue on India - now re-released on Amazon as Kevin and I in India. There followed a slew of Asian travel guides - India, Thailand, Burma, Indonesia etc - but none of them paid very much and the last one gave him a ten-year writing block: he simply couldn't decide which Delhi hotel had the best bath-room, the Taj Intercontinental or the Oberoi. Frank returned to writing after breaking his leg in 2005 - his wife nagged him into it. And the first thing they penned together was...another cat book. Thus came into being 'Ginger the Gangster Cat', the story of one fat cat's devotion to Spanish cuisine. For anyone interested, Sparky - their 5-year old perennial kitten and Ginger's shy and nervous sidekick - is real. He really is the cutest cat in the universe. Ginger himself is a composite of every stray tom-cat Frank has had in the past, absolute terrors all of them!
