The Adventures of Vince the Cat: Vince Discovers the Wonder of Seville

About Heidi Bryant

Heidi Bryant was born on 11th July. She has always lived in Kent but worked in London since she was 18 years old. She has owned cats ever since she was nine and has two cats; (Tiesto and Eivissa). Heidi always loved reading and one of her favourite books that she read time and time again - was a short story called 'The Lonely House'. She also read all of the Roald Dahl books as well as the series 'Gobbolino the Witch's cat'. Heidi went to Fort Pitt Grammar School where she started learning languages (French German and Spanish). Heidi furthered her studies at the Open University where she graduated with an Honour's Degree in Modern Languages. Not satisfied with just the one degree she then decided to undertake a Master's Degree in Translation at London Metropolitan University. Heidi focused on her two favourite languages; French and Spanish. In 2018 she started learning Italian. Heidi had the idea to write 'The Adventures of Vince the Cat' when she sadly lost her beloved cat Mikki to old age in summer 2018. Heidi was totally devastated and so in order to keep the memories of her beautiful cats past and present - she decided to start writing adventure stories with the cats as the main characters. Having travelled extensively (without the cats!) through her work and personal life she has now combined her love of cats her passion for languages and travel into these stories. Heidi's hope is that children will love reading these stories time and time again. She would like to inspire children to want to learn about cats (of course!) the wonderful world in which we live foreign languages cultures and customs.
