#DragonDetective is a series of books written by Gareth P Jones and published by Stripes Books. The first book, Catnapped! is published February 2020 This is the theme tune, written and performed by the author. It was produced by Matthew Downing and features Joe Martin on violin. The song was originally written back in 2007 as jazz-y singalong song, to reflect the old school noir-ish style of the books. With this version, I wanted to reflect the idea that these books are being given a new lease (and brought up to date) so I added a new bit to the song... Oh, and I wanted to show that the stories themselves are full of unexpected twists and turns - hence all the shifts of genre. Thanks to Matt and Joe for helping me realise my mad musical vision.

Snowy White is the 3rd picture book written by Gareth P Jones, illustrated by Loretta Schauer & published by Farshore books. It tells the story of Kingsley & the catwalk cats, who spend their time primping and preening themselves, not caring a jot for their environment, until a cat called Snowy White skates into town and shows (with the help of seven mice) them that looks are less important than actions. As the Crystal Ball tells us, "Snowy White truly is the finest cat of all."
