Blurb
Buddy is no ordinary teddy bear.
He’s a Knight, crafted by The Nameless Wizard himself, and sworn to protect his Person,
10-year old Mieya, from all the Things-That-Go-Bump-In-The-Night.
When Mieya is cursed into a magical sleep, it’s up to Buddy and his friends Esteban the
Bard, Sasha the Warrior-Princess, and Copper the Butterfly to journey across The
Realm-Under-The-Bed and find the one responsible.
But this is no ordinary Quest. The Realm is a dangerous place, filled with jungles, deserts,
lightning storms, and Monsters. But worst of all is The Queen of Sorrow who waits for them
in her dark castle in the crags. To break her curse, Buddy will need more than his skill with a
blade, Esteban’s witty songs, or Sasha’s ferocious might.
He’ll need Heart.

About the Author
A native son of Massachusetts, Peter has been living in the Deep South for over 25 years.
By day, he’s an insurance professional, saving the world one policy at a time. But at night,
well, no one really wants to see him fighting crime in his Spider-Man onesie. Instead, Peter
develops new worlds of adventure influenced by his love of science fiction, mysteries, music
and fantasy. Whether it’s running role-playing games for his long-time friends, watching his
beloved New England sporting teams vie for another championship, or just chilling with a
movie, his wife, two boys, one puppy and three cats, Peter’s imagination is always on the move. It’s the reason why his stories are an eclectic blend of intrigue, excitement, humor and
magic, drawn from four decade’s worth of television, film, novels and comic books.

My Review Its not my usual kind of read, and I’m definitely far from the targeted age range too, but I just adored this book. It’s heroic characters, on a quest together, each with their own strengths and flaws, all for a common purpose of protecting a child they love. There are trials and tribulations and resolves are tested to the max, but we see them grow in confidence and in strength along the way. Beautifully described and written extremely well. Perfect for the targeted audience but one others can equally enjoy as I did. Such a heart warming tale that gave me such joy to read.
