Author of My Cat Has Arthritis but lives to the full
12:00 noon UK Time
Goldster Book Club
Animal-lover Gillian Carrick is the author health guides for pets which includes tips for their healthy ageing. Gillian’s early career took her far away from her passion. With a degree in politics, she became a researcher in the House of Commons and a feature writer on the House magazine. She then moved to BBC Radio with stints as a producer/presenter of travel programmes for Radio Four and Five Live, before heading off to be a television producer. Gillian’s first books were Hidden Suffolk and The Essential Guide to Arthritis.
She was then commissioned to write a series of animal-health guides, including: My Dog Has Arthritis but lives life to the full; My Cat Has Arthritis but lives to the full and My Dog Has Epilepsy but lives life to the full - clearly there’s a theme developing here. Gillian spends as much time as she can in the company of gorgeous dogs and cats, not necessarily her own. She describes herself as a pert-butler of sorts and has learned a very important lesson: Our four-legged friends are definitely our masters. Her latest project is to explore the idea of releasing our ‘inner cat’. What exactly is that?
