Firstly, I wanted to write the kind of book I grew up with; Hacker Gran is a classic British children’s comedy fiction about the ordinary person fighting bureaucracy.Secondly, I wanted to write not only a funny children’s book but one that examines serious topics such as family, friends and social issues.And thirdly, I wrote Hacker Gran to highlight an important issue which occurred at that time of my wife's death which was that if you shared a joint bank account and your partner died, the bank automatically froze your account causing unforeseen difficulties. Why should readers give this book a try?For young adults, or even adults who enjoy a cosy, affectionate, humorous comedy with many hilarious twists and turns this is the ideal children’s fiction book. As a special bonus, free teaching resources related to Hacker Gran are available on my website. Give it a try!What else are you writing?I have written the Adventures of Puppy Poor Paw, which is a series of 3 children’s comedy books for 9 to 12 year olds. It’s an action adventure written in a similar style to Hacker Gran and is about an amnesiac puppy with magic powers who is on a quest to find his parents. As well as being funny and not at all scary, Puppy Poor Paw deals with issues such as family and friendships. Also I like writing about animals. KS2 teaching resources are also available with the series on my website.Scroll up and grab a copy today.
