A Very Pinchy Life is a series written by ATKtrains, set to debut before September 2006. Originally, a 3rd novel following A Very Pinchy Honeymoon was to be released, but fans wished for a 'true series' for The Pinchers. Thus, the novel was not released, and A Very Pinchy Life was started. Episode summaries for the soon to be released first season can be found below.

The series debuted on the Sodor Island Forums on August 10, 2006. New episodes will be posted about every week. Season 1, as it is posted, can be read here.
