Hodder abd Stoughton has said James Bowen has sold more than one million books in Britian.
In 2007 Bowen, who was living in sheltered accommodation and recovering from drug addiction, found an injured cat, who seemed to be saying to him, "help" and 'sort yourself out".
He nursed the cat back to health, called him Bob and the two became a regular pair as James busked and sold the Big Issue in London.
Bowen's book 'A Street Cat Named Bob' has sold in 30 countries and has topped charts in US, Brazil, Portugal, Turkey and Germany.
"I think I've opened people's eyes to things they never understood properly, I never thought I would turn my life around and be the voice of people who can't be heard," he said.
He points out that having Bob with him when he was busking gave him a chance to interact with people and people would give him more of a fair hearing.
James Bowen has written three books.
Surely at least one book in a dog?
