B. Ware delighted fans at Wantage Bookshop on Mill Street with a book signing and engaging activities on Saturday, April 26.
B. Ware is the pen name of Jo Stacey, known for her enchanting children’s books.
During the event, she signed copies of her beloved books, Magic Can Be Dangerous and May Contain Dragons.
In a conversation about her debut book, Jo Stacey shared, “A chat on WhatsApp with my dad, step-mum, and brothers sparked a book idea. My dad, notorious for forgetting names, mentioned random people we didn’t know. One of my brothers humorously asked, ‘Who are these alternative relatives?’”
She continued, “I thought Alternative Relatives would make a great children’s book title. The plot developed around a protagonist using magic to transform his relatives into improved versions of themselves. This concept evolved into the book Warning: Magic Can Be Dangerous.”
