When I was a little girl, my mum used to call me Flossie Bonce and as I grew older, I realised it was a great name for a character in one of my books. The narrative came to me when I was hosting my son's 6th birthday party. We organised a game of pass the parcel, but I have quite a naughty sense of humour, so decided to tell the children it was pass the parsnip, a healthier version of the game. Luckily, I had given them prizes they would rather have, so all ended well. The two strands of this story collided, and Flossie Bonce the book was born.Q. Why should I give your books a try?A. I have been an illustrator for nearly a zillion years (or so it feels!) and I LOVE drawing wildlife. I always 'see' a book before I write it, and you will know what I mean when you have a look at my books. I am also intensely interested in education - so I always slip a sneaky way to learn things into my stories. My customers and reviews tell me how much they love my books, how 'each page is a smorgasbord, a real treat for little readers' and 'I could not wait to turn the pages and see the antics, marvellous illustrations. This is a must read for all small people, and their grandparents.'Q. Do you have other books?A. Yes - loads, and all but The Golden Stone can be purchased as paperback books too.Vincent and the VampiresRoyal FleasWally and Bert, BffsThe House on Hare HillNature CallsBluebell's New SchoolThe Golden StoneFidget (new release)Check out my website: julesmarrinerbooks.c
