About the Author

Sam Holt was in greater denial about becoming a father than any man before him. After the birth of son Hugo, Holt decided to discover what becoming a dad was like for others. A serial 'ideas man', he decided to create a guide for couples and dads-to-be with friend and filmmaker Troy Jones and thus Being Dad was born.

Troy Jones is a 33-year-old law student, comedian and owner of a small advertising agency. He is a proud father of Matilda and Charlie. Telling dads-to-be the way it really is earned this regular Joe a place in the US Parents' Hall of Fame.
