Dreaming of All Things Paris

Take a 5 Minute Trip to France!

I truly believe the magic of reading opens minds to all the good things in this world, and ever one of us deserves to dream of exciting new adventures.
To say that I’m a Francophile might be the understatement of the century. Writing The BEAR and PIERRE le FLAIR was my favorite experience yet. Why? Because it allows me to not only share my love of France with a new generation of dreamers, but also because every time I read it, I take a 5 minute trip to my favorite place in the world—escapism at its best! If you don’t have it yet, please consider adding it to your Bear in a Bow Tie collection. And if you do have it, I need your REVIEWS! 

Oh, and it’s available is Spanish now too!

“Bonjour!” said a chef. “I am Pierre le Flair! It’s a pleasure to meet ze bow tie wearing bear!”

The COVER REVEAL!

We’re still working on all the interior pages but the cover is finally done and I am about to wet myself with excitement! You all are the very first to see it. You’re going to LOVE this book, and you’re going love Messy McFarlen and his Aussie puppy, Pan!

My goal for March? To sell-out all 100 of the signed, Limited Editions so “For gardens-sake!” Pre-Order yours today! and get it before the official launch and in time for Easter baskets.

McFarlen ignored his loud neighbor’s desire,
And dreamed of a garden that all would admire.
“MUD-TAS-TIC!” he told Pan over his shoulder.
“What makes a mess is in the eyes of the beholder!”
