Incredible news: Tyger is officially a bestseller in the USA! It's Number 4 in the
New York Times Middle Grade Paperback list, which is absolutely astonishing to me. Huge huge thanks to all the incredible booksellers who've got behind it - and to
Penguin Workshop, Tyger's amazing American publishers!!!

I remember meeting you at a school! The young author one who said you should make a book based on the dogs perspective of Varjak Paw! You’re my favourite author!
Thank you so much! That's wonderful to hear - and it's wonderful to hear that you still remember that school visit! Happy writing - and happy reading!
Dear SF Seid.
My name is Ilya, and I wrote to you many years ago under the pseudonym Ivan. I live in Russia. Many years ago, I asked you for an autograph, and you sent it to me. I'm 32 now. More than 10 years have passed. A week ago, I was at home and found my old book, "Varjak Paw outlaw," and I reread it again. It's wonderful. Now I'm sad that this story is so short. I'm very happy about the success of your book, "Tiger," which, unfortunately, is not sold in Russia. But after all these years, I still hope to see the third installment of "Varjak." How many more years will it take before that happens?
Thank you so much, Ilya - that's wonderful to hear! I do still plan to write a third story about Varjak one day, but it won't be very soon - I'm still not sure when it will be, but I will definitely post about it whenever it is! In the meantime, I hope you get a chance to read Tyger one day - I think it's my best book so far!
Dear SF Seid.
That's great, I truly believe this is your best book. And I love the synopsis. Unfortunately, it's not available here, and I couldn't find it in Russian. I'll definitely read it someday.
Thank you very much - I hope there will be a Russian translation of Tyger one day!
