Childhood companions and inspirations


Take one teddy bear, gifted in 1969

by a travelling relative

to a little girl,

Wee girl hugging her teddy

Add years of companionship, imagination and whimsical adventures.

Gently pull back the curtain

covering

adolescent memories

of hurt

and loss.

Dig out a box containing a pile of rushed attempts for a last-minute application to a graphic arts program.

Brush aside that memory of rejection and appreciate being able to move along a meandering life path.

Give your childhood companion immortality by publishing a novel about Fate, Family and Forgiveness.

Feel the warm memories of motherhood, stories shared and books read to your own children.

Thank you for reading.

  1. Better than nice; it entices me to read more, despite being so far behind I’ll never catch up.

      Thank you for reading, John. I hope to have the second print edition of the novel out in a few years. Otherwise, there’s always Smashwords for the current ebook version.
