WARNING: May Contain Dragons

B. Ware is the pseudonym used by Jo Stacey when writing children's books. An avid reader from a young age, Jo's childhood dream was to become an author. 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! It wasn't until she home-schooled her children during the COVID-19 lockdown that Jo's passion for creative writing was rekindled, and she wrote her first romance 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.Her first children's book, WARNING: Magic Can Be Dangerous!, was published in April 2024. Ever since then, she's been visiting schools in Gloucestershire and beyond, hosting assemblies and classroom activities with the aim of encouraging children to keep reading for pleasure. 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.
