Let Your Fear Inspire You…
Larry Hayes was inspired to write The Nightmares with Finnegan Quick when it seemed like his bad dream was coming true but can you be inspired by what you fear? Join Larry to hear about how his hero Finnegan Quick faces his fears, help him create a new horror and comedy adventure story and ask him questions about writing, comedy and horror.
Larry Hayes writes horror and comedy stories for children. He is afraid of zombies in lifts, vampires in rocking chairs and baby crocodiles in toilets. He is no longer afraid of the dark, changing a nappy in a moving vehicle, or death.
He is the author of the How to Survive series, the latest of which, How to Survive Time Travel, won the Laugh Out Loud Awards, and The Nightmares of Finnegan Quick.
When he’s not writing children’s books, Larry works in finance, helps run a homeless charity and is the governor of a primary school federation.
Ages 10+
