Our guest today is author James Minter. James is a dad to two grown-up children, and a step father to three more. His fiction writing career started some five years ago with books designed to appeal to the inner child in all of us - very English humour. Later his daughter Louise reminded him of the bedtime stories he told her and suggested he might like to commit them to paper for others to enjoy. He hasn't yet but instead embarked on writing the eight-book Billy Grows Up series for 7 to 9-year-old children. These are traditional stories, but with value based plots.

Although the main character Billy and his friends are fictitious, Billy's dog, Jacko, is based on his family's much-loved pet, which, with their second dog Malibu, caused havoc and mayhem to the delight of his children and consternation of himself.
