About This Author

Peter Geoffrey Tye: Grew up in the Hampshire village of Hartley Wespall, joined the Royal Navy at the age of fifteen and completed eight years service. Peter then embarked on a marketing career which led to copy writing and in 1977, setting up of his own business, Tyelines, at 87 Fleet Street. From his 4th floor office he looked out over the Daily Express building to the front, and St. Bride’s churchyard at the rear. From this cosy eyrie he provided a business writing service to blue chip companies in the City of London. Peter’s involvement with children’s entertainment began in 1993, when he produced Colin Reeder’s Little Red Tractor Stories for television. Following Colin’s untimely death in 1994 he wrote new Little Red Tractor stories for TV and book publication. He now lives in Norfolk, where he is an enthusiastic, if very average golfer and continues to write children’s stories. Most recently,'Bee Keeping for Cats' and 'Badman: The Ghost of King John', novels for older children and young at heart adults.
