About the author
Elias Zapple
153 books56 followersElias Zapple was not born in 1922, as some would have you believe. His date of birth is not really relevant anyway. What is relevant is that he arose out of a tulip that was growing in some old granny's garden in Camberwell. How he got to be in a tulip is not really clear, nor is it clear how he got out of the tulip and years later wrote the smash hit musical, 'Love be a Stranger', which was an international flop.
After that success, he went on to work as a 19th century Victorian chimney sweep where he was then inspired to write the acclaimed series of books entitled 'Duke & Michel'. It is believed the fumes from the chimneys did so much damage to Elias that it was a miracle he ever ate a cupcake again.
Later, he time travelled back to the present and went on a series of trips to many foreign and distant lands. During these travels, Elias met and spoke to many interesting people, choosing to ignore all of them. He did, however, learn a couple of things. 1) The earth is flat and 2) You should never eat a banana when it's not ripe.
Many questions are often asked by his adoring public. Are you human? How many chimpanzees can fit inside a fridge? What is that thing growing on the side of your head? To which Mr Zapple has always smiled, turned away and swum off into the sunset, only once being bitten by an unfriendly shark.
Elias Zapple continues to work towards the unification of Korea and writing children's stories that parents will spend huge sums of money on. He wishes everybody to know that every penny made from the books will go straight into his bank account, which he will then spend on a lavish, new tent.

I never imagined that I'd want to adopt a vampire. After all, I'm vegetarian, a big drawback you'd think. However Nicu has captured my heart. Lovable doesn't begin to describe him. Also vulnerable, huggable, completely adorable in every way.
In the 'Nicu' books Elias Zapple expertly crafts his stories around all the big problems that arise in children's lives. So many adults would like kids to be cute and entertaining and don't allow them to express their deepest fears and worries. Nicu is here to help. The title 'Dead Again' is an obvious pointer to the issue dealt with in this story. 'Dead Again' is heartbreaking and totally funny and wonderful all at the same time, an absolute must read for kids. I'd like to see the 'Nicu' books made widely available in schools and libraries so that anyone could access them.
Meanwhile I'm sending Nicu lots of hugs and I'd welcome a visit from him at any time. Only, maybe I wouldn't risk falling asleep.....
