Stephen Hodgkinson-Soto

Stephen Hodgkinson is the author of the best-selling Stinkerton McPoo series — around 20,000 copies sold — starring the world's gassiest dog and the trouble her bottom keeps getting her into. The books were inspired by his own dog, Fia: wonderful company, lethal at close range, and known to everyone who's met her, with good reason, as Stinkerton McPoo.

A single dad of two adopted children who's spent half his life on each side of the Atlantic, Stephen traded California for the English Midlands and now writes the kind of stories he likes best at bedtime — silly, warm, and built on the cast-iron truth that nothing makes a child laugh harder than a dog with gas!

The series has been featured by Reedsy Discovery and LoveReading4Kids.
