About this ebook

This is a tale about a battle for survival between the feline families that roamed and scavenged on the docklands of Liverpool soon after World War II and the vicious rodent hordes.
Food is scarce, fights to the death are frequent, and the rodents fighting in large numbers are murderous in their attempts to kill as many kittens as possible to keep the cat families small in number. The leader of the rat pack, Retsina, an extremely clever and meticulous rat, is a freak of nature because of his size. He is a giant among the rodents.
There is one large cat family who are a match for rats. They are the fighting Flynns who are led by Feral Flynn, a giant ginger tom, fearless and brave. He looks after his clan well. Battles up to now are even.
Then one night, a new cat hero emerges, a loner who is soon to become the hero among the felines, a scourge on the rodents, who is sharp as a pin, ridiculously cute, and braver and swifter than any feline. He has arrived.
Who is this stranger Pancho the Cat? Where did he come from?

Author

Franny Conlin

Born in inner city Liverpool to Alice and Peter Conlin in 1944, I am the second youngest in a line of eight children, husband of fifty-one years to Joan and father to Terry, Barry and Tony. My journey into storyville began with my elder brother John, as a child I looked forward to his stories each night before falling asleep, John had an amazing imagination that kept us younger children mesmerised for hours, telling us all the classics, like Treasure Island, Gulliver’s Travellers and Black Beauty. This then gave me a foundation to develop my own writing skills, which would then go onto serve me as a playwright, forming my own Theatre Production Company in 2009 (Wildflower Productions). I am currently in the process of staging my fourth play and my second book, a sequel to Pancho The Cat. I dedicate this story to my brother John Anthony Conlin, it was his love of storytelling that gave me the confidence and courage to dream big and go after that dream. I would like to thank Angela Preston for her help with the manuscript, Josie Parkes for instilling the confidence in me to get the book finished and Peter Taafe for his amazing drawings. But most importantly I would like to thank my wife Joan who’s support and encouragement has helped me to never give up on achieving my goals and my sons for being a support mechanism.
