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.

The Mayor's Bear and AI

I had a great day on Friday - helping a number of local councillors get to grips with Artificial Intelligence and how it might be applied to their local councils. You can read all about it here. I am most grateful to David Hall of CloudyIT for inviting me to be a part of this event. 

At the end of the day, David gave away some prizes to the participants as a thank you for coming along. I added a copy of The Mayor's Bear  (and my previous book - Cracking Questions) to the prizes and it was lovely to be able to sign a copy of each for the two people who were lucky to be drawn.
