about the author

R.G.G. de Winter is a Sydney-based writer, poet and lyricist, who started writing short stories and alternate lyrics to popular songs during her school years. Graduating from the University of New England with a double degree enabled her to hold a day job for 25 years whilst further developing her writing skills. Her love of music, history and philosophy and frustrations living with several chronic diseases, including type 1 diabetes, infect her writing. She lives in Lane Cove with her fur babies, Bobo and Myshkin. This is her first novel.

about the book

Van 007 is out of touch and running out of time now that he’s losing his life-sustaining whiskers. Set in a world where animals break into song and several animal species have extraordinary powers that humans either choose to ignore or are persuaded into forgetting, Van, a cat-vampire, can’t even remember why the chicken crossed the road, let alone his own purpose. His world is torn apart by others and as he attempts to avoid death, he juggles inner, outer and surreal demons, whilst the overwhelming responsibility to the runt porker, Pavel, makes him far too human. But which one of them is out of their head when the other isn’t around? Will Van realise his dream of becoming an Immortal?Will he make it?
