Author Biography

Bible stories with a twist! In my efforts to entertain and captivate a five year old with the adventures of Jesus and his friends, I have created a series of Bible adaptations designed to be funny and entertaining without losing the message within. Bright pictures, catchphrases and a look at some of the characters not always touched upon in Sunday School give my children, and hopefully yours, an active interest in their Bibles and a growing interest in their Church. At the very least, they're entertaining for kids and adults alike and the morals are relevant to a child of any background. My stories come from a passionate belief in making the Bible interesting coupled with a real desire to distract my kids when they're trying to kill each other or the cat, or when they want to do the washing up or bake a mud cake... you get the idea. I tell stories to the kids whilst I get on with stuff; housework, cooking, etc. Quite often, of course, the housework goes out of the window and we all end up standing on the sofa brandishing cuddly camels but at least I got something done first! My Yummy for the Tummy series, as it has evolved into, started out not actually with the Tomato Ketchup Story, as many think, but with the so far un-named story of Gideon. It was Tomato that caught the kids' imagination most though, and this led to me telling it to a churchfull of people for a kids' service one day. The response was great and so I told some more. Then one family moved away, so we made a tape of the tellings for a leaving present. The ball was rolling now and has arrived here with this publication.
