Happy Sunday from Alice, four months old with a new tooth. #babytooth #grandbabies
Caught sleeping with a star. Tell me you’re not jealous #catstar
Easy as stealing a star from a baby. #cattoyseverywhere #catburglar

Dear friends, You know I’m disorganised. My Goodreads author page has been a dog’s breakfast (with my books listed alongside titles about air frying and K-Pop).
A lovely man, Kothar, at Goodreads has spent the past few days tidying things up. It would be great if you’d drop by the new Helen Brown (Author of Cleo) Goodreads page and leave a rating. Thanks so much ❤️

Here’s Bono with the magical red door we lived behind in New York City. I’m thrilled Larissa Wohl’s book club in LA is featuring BONO this month... and that it’s the most issued non fiction book for adults at Rotorua Public Library in New Zealand. Thanks to all my readers. You rock. #rescuecatsrock #bookclubsofinstagram #newyorkcats

Baby Alice surrounded with love - and hand knitting. Thanks to Maureen, Mary, Susan and others who welcomed her into the world with gifts made by their own hands. #handknitting #handmadewithlove #babyknitting

Sublime takeaways for our Japanese movie night. We saw TAMPOPO, a classic from the 80’s. Funny, quirky & ahead of its time (except for its portrayal of women). I’ll never see raw egg yolks in the same light again. Thanks to Kath for setting up the Couch Traveller’s Club and lifting our Melbourne lockdown blues. #ichyni #japanesetakeaway #melbournelockdown #japanesemovies

There’s something about Saturday mornings. #caturdaycuddles #catbooks
I woke everyone by leaping about the house at 4am. Scribbler was scared I’d caught a mouse, so she sent Man out to investigate. It wasn’t a mouse but this amazing star I’ve stolen off the grandkid’s play mat. I’m so in love with the thing. They hide it from me at night now. So unfair. #cattalk #catburglar #IKEAbaby

This photo was inspiration for my new book MICKEY. I was peroxiding my hair on the sly. Fritz the dog and that headband both feature in the story - to be released Feb 2023 in the US and Australasia (and lots of other countries, fingers crossed). #catbook #1960svintage #headbands

If in doubt, bake. #melbournelockdown #homebakingisthebest #cookingathomeisfun
Huge thanks to Nisa Briggs-Kelly for creating these wonderful name plaques and necklaces for our grand daughters. Each design incorporates their individual passions. What a great gift to remind lockdown kids how much you care. #giftsforkids #dippitau #nameplaque

Please don’t make me watch the news again.
It’s about time I had a new play mat. #ikeababy

Only one more chapter and the first draft of my new book MICKEY will be finished. I’ve loved writing this one. It’s taken me back to my 1960’s upbringing in NZ. Dad was the local gasworks manager, and it was an uphill struggle selling appliances back then. I should probably start saying now the book is only loosely based on real people and events. Okay everyone? Buckle up. #newbook #harpercollinsaustralia #kensingtonbooks #catstories #newzealandstory
