Help!! What is Town Mayor Roxie to do when she loses something very precious to her and indeed, the whole town..? Just before she’s ready to give up, along comes a small, magimistical bear called Strumbold… This is the story of their adventure - about love, keeping promises and finding magic in everyday stuff. It’s a book to be read out loud to the special (big and small) people in your life. Amongst the kerfuffle, confusion and difficulties of living in our world today… this story will help you remember that there are still simple, important things like friendship, kindness, cake and a Festival of Teddy Bears.

One day...!

One day, perhaps #TheMayorsBear will become an international bestseller and be turned into a blockbusting, critically acclaimed movie whilst simultaneously inspiring a whole generation of young people to become active community politicians, delivering lasting beneficial outcomes for the people of their villages, towns and cities... 

But meanwhile, I am so enjoying taking my book and my bear around with me to a variety of events. Over the next few weeks and months, I will be:

>>> Reading the whole book (for the first time) at the Manor Farm on the Bourton Road in Buckingham on Wednesday 16th April:  https://www.manorfarmbourton.com/Events  

>>> Taking part in the Buckingham Literary Festival and providing a reading workshop for youngsters and their families. On Saturday 14th June - details here (along with lots of brilliant authors!): https://www.bucklitfest.org/  

>>> Being one of the contributors to the Place Shaping conference organised by the Buckinghamhire and Milton Keynes Association of Local Councils on June 16th. Details here: https://bucksalc.gov.uk/conference-2025
