The Author's And

Have you ever felt you didn’t quite fit in? Well, that’s how Jo felt. She was well-meaning, ordinary and a bit clumsy; and she lived in the middle of a perfect family. Although Jo wasn’t the brightest button in the box, she could see clearly that Jesus had missed her out in the talent stakes. Luckily though, one thing she did have was a mum who wrote stories; and it was through those stories that Jo began to understand that she was actually very important – perhaps even the most important person in her family.

Follow Jo as she discovers the beauty of words and the magic of fairy tales, and why And is so very necessary to the Author’s book.

Dawn Bush lives in leafy Warwickshire with her husband. She enjoys reading, writing, needlecraft and most of all—her day job of acting. She has two grown-up daughters, who weren’t always grown-up (except maybe for Becki, who has always been three going on 36) and who have helped her realise her dream of having temporarily pink hair; an ambition only made possible through lockdown (as no one is around much to see it). Dawn very much hopes to be able, one day, to keep a spider plant alive.
