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?

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 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 under the guise of her alter ego, B. Ware, 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.
