In the lead up to World Book Day we're joined by author and Fast Show star, Charlie Higson. Charlie's phenomenally successful Young Bond series has now sold over a million copies in the UK. He's also thrilled and terrified teenagers with his zombie-adventure series, which includes The Enemy, The Dead and The Fear. A huge fan of horror films and books, Charlie even studied gothic literature at university.

If you or your child have a question for Charlie, post it here before 5pm on Friday 2nd March. At the end of the week we'll be sending over the questions and the authors of the ten questions Charlie answers will each receive a signed copy of his book, The Fear.

Hello Charlie, can I ask if your children like your books? Are they your best critics?

I love Charlie Higson. He's an excellent writer. I'll have to think of a half-decent question Smile

Charlie, how strongly do you feel about the issue of continuity within the JB universe? There was some controversy about you changing Fleming's backstory for Bond when Silverfin came out. Was this something that affected your approach for later books, or do you feel that the series don't need to be perfectly consistent?

Charlie, why do think that young teenagers get such a kick out of being scared? My two absolutely love being frit of the zombies. (Then they have to sleep with the light on.)
