Advance Praise

"I can honestly say this is one of my favorite books of the year so far. In a word this book was amazing...I love the opening sentence of this book, “Once there lived a rather special Teddy Bear.” In fact the whole of the first chapter was enchanting and reminiscent of the style of Enid Blyton. The author uses lovely phrasing to describe everything from the scenery to the characters. My favorite was a description of a character called Amber as having a demeanor that was “strong and lone-wolf-like." I cannot stress enough how much I love this book in particular the way it deals with grief and loss throughout and also the twists and turns in plot throughout. My friends and family will certainly be having this book recommended to them." Stacey Coleshaw Blog Reviewer

"It’s an impressive, captivating story from the beginning... The style is shockingly interesting, because when you think you are reading a certain kind of book, later you will discover that you have in your hands something completely different. But…This one is a book that for creativity and geniality is able to make the difference and I warmly suggest it to all of you. The cover is beautiful, and it attracted me from the first time and it was why I picked up this book at first. I was right because you can’t put it down for any reason but you must discover what will happen next. You will love all the characters Jink will meet along the way because they’re all beautiful souls..." Anna Maria Polidori Blog Reviewer & Reporter

"From start to finish, The Lonely Teddy Bear had me absolutely hooked! If you’re looking for a quick thriller to read, pick up The Lonely Teddy Bear and prepare yourself for an ending that you won’t see coming! This whole book is a wonderful story about a teddy bear that goes looking to fill the void left by his human friend, Janie. He brings along his suitcase, hat, jacket, and journal, and makes his way outside of his comfort zone to fill the pages of his journal..." Megan Smith Blog Reviewer
