Meet the Author - James Lee

James Lee, Aitchison's Mr. Midnight series has captivated young readers since 1998, with over 1.5 million copies of Mr. Midnight books sold. The books are horror fiction stories with different characters featured. Readers are invited to send in their stories, which Aitchison then fleshes out in his books. His publisher, Flame Of The Forest, came up with the idea of publishing an Asian series of horror and suspense stories for children, using Asian names and backdrops. It wanted to provide children in the region with reads that they could identify with, a change from books from the West that centred on white children. The Mr. Midnight series was sold to other Asian countries such as Malaysia, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam

In March 2006, Aitchison launched the Mr. Mystery series, books catering to the same demographic group, with murder mystery stories solved by a group of characters.
Aitchison's other works include the Sarong Party Girl series (1994, 1995, 1996), The Seriously Funny Anti-Stress Book (1995), and Terror In Bali: An Eyewitness Account (2003). He also wrote the national songs "One People, One Nation, One Singapore" and "My Singapore Story" for the National Day Parades.

生气的时候不要作任何决定

　　
相信你有听过这故事。。。

有个男人，他老婆生小孩时难产死了。幸好，他家有条聪明能干的狗，自然而然的担负起照看婴儿的重担。有一天，男人有事外出，很晚才回来。狗知道主人回来了，欢快的出来迎接。可是男人看到狗嘴里都是血，一种不祥的预感顿时涌上心头，心想是不是这狗由于饥饿兽性发作把孩子给吃了。于是他连忙赶到床边一看，没人，只看到一堆血迹。男人在狂怒之下，拿起棍子便将这条狗活活打死。谁知就在这时候，孩子哭着从床底下爬了出来，男人这才知道自己错怪了狗，四下查看，发现不远处躺着一条狼，已被活活咬死，在看那条狗，后腿已被严重抓伤。原来在男人外出的时候，有条狼溜了进来想偷吃孩子，狗勇敢的冲上去与狼大搏斗，最终保住了孩子的生命。男人知道真相后，嚎啕大哭，悔恨不已，可是一切已经无法换回。

如果你是那个男人，你会怎么办？我相信我不需解释，你也明白既了解。

请记住生气的时候不要作任何决定，这个时候所作的决定，90％以上都是极端的错误。

幸福只需要一点点

如果天上的云彩不美丽，我不会不幸福，因为还有白白的云朵；
　　如果天上的星星不出现，我不会不幸福，因为还有宁静的夜空；
　　如果湖泊波澜不惊，我不会不幸福，因为还有平静的湖面。

　　幸福的源泉在哪里？是金钱的满足还是家庭的美满，还是与亲人的天伦之乐？我对幸福曾经奢望太多，但整天游纫与社会与家庭的交响曲中，我渐渐发现幸福只需要一点点。

　　幸福只需要一点点，否则，就象美味佳肴里放多了味精，令人鲜之无味。仿佛可贵的友情，无需每天黏在一起，只需烦恼时互说心情，快乐时分享喜悦；无需天天电话不断，只需困难时，伸出一双手。

　　幸福只需要一点点，否则，就象美味的汤肴里放多了盐，令人张口结舌。仿佛爱情的珍贵，不需要过多的嘘寒问暖和甜言蜜语，而是在生病时递一杯水，送上两片药，在伤心落泪时，递上一张纸巾，来一个深情的拥抱。

　　幸福只需要一点点，否则，就象手握满满一把沙子，愈想拽紧它，它愈在指缝间滑落。仿佛生命的可贵，不需要吃什么山珍海味，只需要合理的营养饮食。

　　在同胞们受到山洪的侵袭、地震的伤害时，不需要你倾家荡产地去捐助几十万，只需要你献出一份能够承受的爱心。在行路时，随手捡起地上的垃圾扔进垃圾箱里，为城市美化作出一份小小的贡献，在生命精彩的旅程里，你会体会到幸福的跳跃。

　　幸福只需要一点点，孝敬父母时，不需要你大把的钞票拿回家，只需要你的一声声问候和常回家看看。
　　幸福只需要一点点，教育儿女时，无需你事事包办，，只需教育他做人的道理。
　　幸福只需要一点点，我开始发现幸福就只需要一点点，但收获却是无比的丰硕。
