After all, he has written over twenty books without any problems - until now! Because now, his characters have their own ideas and start dictating how a book should be written.

Produktbeschreibung
When James Hywel is asked by his publisher to write another children's book, you'd be right in thinking it would be the easiest thing in the world. After all, he has written over twenty books without any problems - until now! Because now, his characters have their own ideas and start dictating how a book should be written. Chaos soon reigns in his study as the characters take charge, no matter how much authority James tries to wield. This story highlights why authors should never work with children, animals, Elves or Unicorns! The process James has used in this book in making himself the character in the story is called Self-insertion and has been used by several authors including Stephen King (Books six and seven of the Dark Tower anthology), Jonathan Ames (The Alcoholic), W. Somerset Maugham (The Razor's Edge), Bret Easton Ellis (Lunar Park) and Geoffrey Chaucer (The Canterbury Tales). (Suitable for children aged 8+)
Autorenporträt
James began dabbling in writing in 2001 with many of his first books going to 5th and 6th editions. In August 2021 he wrote The Musings of the Milliner for and featuring his niece and nephew in Scotland. Little did he know that this book would be the start of The Magical Misadventures of Mr Milliner series (now containing seven books). His next series was the much-loved Adventures of Albert Mouse, featuring Dartmouth's most fa-mouse resident, Albert Mouse. James has now written over 30 children's books. To try and explain where his stories come from would be impossible and not even James can explain it. His writing process is as unorthodox and quirky as his books are magical and mind-transporting. James pens a weekly email entitled Letters from the Oak Tree where he talks about writing, books, and basically anything and everything else.
