Jason Tipple

Jason Tipple was born quite near the coast in sunny Norwich in the Summer of 1973. He moved inland to the new city of Milton Keynes at the age of the 8. His love of writing began at school where he wrote fun stories about zany characters and letting his imagination run almost as wild as his hair. At the age of 13 he wrote in an essay about Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice that Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's marriage could only be saved by a novelty 'His and Hers' towel set. Suffice to say this didn't go down too well with the English teacher but it set him on a path towards an interest in expressive writing. Four years later, his 5000 word A-level analytical essay studying the literary structure of the Conan the Barbarian novels by Robert E Howard was heavily frowned on by his teacher for not being about an 'author of suitable literary merit.' That moment convinced Jason only to ever write about subjects that he enjoyed applying his creative mind to. Jason soon began to write humorous tales, sci-fi and fantasy purely for his own enjoyment. The birth of his daughter in 2006 introduced him to children's books for the first time in 20 years. Inspired by the likes of 'the Gruffalo' and 'Mr. Gum', Jason ventured into writing children's books as well as an epic psychological thriller of 120,000 words.

Chapter 1: Red Riding Hood

Howling is my favourite thing in the world, especially when the moon is high in the night sky like a big crunchy snowball. Wolves are so clever that we are the only animals in the world that can howl.

So there I was deep in the forest early one morning, howling at the sky when the strangest little creature I had ever seen came skipping along. She was wearing black pixie boots, a sunflower yellow dress and quite the reddest coat I had ever seen. The coat had a big red hood that covered all her hair like one of those space helmets that astronaut bears wear. The funny little creature skipped right up to the log I was sitting on and pulled her hood down. It was a pretty little girl with hair like honey tied up in two little oink-tails.
