ABOUT THE BOOKS

Warning: May Contain Dragons

Dragons are make-believe, right? Wrong! As Willow is about to find out... When Willow's mum drops a bombshell on Christmas Eve, Willow doesn't think things can get any worse. Until a dragon kidnaps her little brother! With her dad busy and her mum absent, she enlists the help of her friends to track down and avenge the monstrous beast.

But they soon find themselves out of their depth. Will Willow ever see her brother again? Will she and her friends live to tell the tale? And how will the already struggling village of Harmony survive a dragon onslaught... if there really are dragons living there?

Warning: Magic Can Be Dangerous

Tyler isn't thrilled to be spending yet another mundane afternoon at Great Uncle John's. And that's putting it mildly! But after his visit sparks a chain of inexplicable events, he delightedly discovers magic at his fingertips. Being able to conjure up a swimming pool and a wodge of cash are certainly perks.

Yet the magic proves tricky to control. What's more, it seems to be irreversible. Unable to properly harness his new-found powers, Tyler ends up getting those around him into all manner of mischief and mayhem.

And when things begin to go catastrophically wrong, he fears magic is a curse, rather than a blessing. Will normality ever be restored, or will Tyler be forced to adapt to his new, altered reality forever? It all depends on whether he's able to find Lottie's loophole...

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

B. Ware is the pseudonym used by Jo Stacey when writing children’s books.

Born in August 1976, Jo was fortunate enough to spend the first eighteen years of her life just a stone’s throw from Dumpton Gap beach in the picturesque coastal town of Broadstairs. She always feels most at home when she’s close to the sea, and loves nothing more than lying on a beach somewhere, lost in a good book.

An avid reader from a young age, Jo’s childhood dream was to become an author. Her love of writing evolved whilst she was a pupil at Upton Junior School (Broadstairs). At night, she’d often read by torchlight under the bedclothes – or scribble story ideas into old exercise books – when she was supposed to be fast asleep! During secondary school break times and lunchtimes, she’d collaborate with friends to write murder mysteries before acting them out in the playground. But in her final years at Clarendon House Grammar School (Ramsgate), Jo decided to abandon her fascination with words in order to pursue a growing infatuation with numbers.

It wasn’t until she home-schooled her children during the COVID-19 lockdown that Jo’s passion for creative writing was finally rekindled, and she wrote her first novel. Straight afterwards, she put pen to paper to complete the sequel. But with her children in mind, she then turned her hand to middle-grade fiction. WARNING: Magic Can Be Dangerous! is the first book she has published, under the guise of her alter ego, B. Ware. She’s has recently released the second book in the WARNING series, Warning: May Contain Dragons.

Jo currently lives in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire with her husband and children. But she hopes to one day move back to the seaside and make writing her full-time occupation.
