Character Book Blog
To Blog or not to Blog? That is the question! For me the answer to that is simple. YES! Well…. Now the answer is yes. A while ago I would have said something more like ‘Nah I’m good thanks.’ But now that I've gotten into the grove, and very much enjoy it. So when fellow Kid Literature Author Leigh Shearin asked me to share in the Meet the Character Blog Tour, I quickly said yes.
I have a number of characters I would like to introduce you to, but sometimes simplicity is best right? And since the first series I have out right now is entitled The Adventures of Lorenzo the Bear, I thought it would be best to focus on just him (for now). First, let me introduce all of you to the wonderful Leigh Shearin.
Leigh and I became twitter pals through our mutual friend, Cat Michaels (million thanks for that Cat!). Leigh is a jack of all trades! Not only is she Writer, but she is also a Farmer, Baker, a Teacher, and a Life Long Dreamer. Her middle-grade eBook, John Bloom and the Victory Garden, will be released in November 2014 on Amazon. Filled with historical fiction set at the beginning of WWII filled with plot twist, and kid friendly recipes. You can bet it will be a great book for kids to check out!

Meet the Character: Lorenzo the Bear
What’s the name of your character? Is he/she a fictional or historic person?
In order to answer this, I have to give you a little background story. Lorenzo was actually one of my most treasured stuffed Bears as a child. Like most youngsters I was afraid of the dark, so sleeping was hard for me. My dad told me he had something that would help me, then he handed me a stuffed bear. He assured me that this bear would protect me from whatever it was that troubled me. I loved him so much! I named him the Brave Bear Lorenzo. So between Lorenzo, and a trusty nightlight, I was able to sleep again.
Thus, when I started writing for my niece and nephew who better to write about then my most beloved stuffed animal! For me, Lorenzo is most real, maybe not in the “traditional” sense. Even though he has a new home with my niece Desi, he will always be a part of my life.
When and where is the story set?
Poppy Hills Place is Lorenzo’s home town, where he has/is growing up. It’s filled with rolling hills, trees, a lake, and you guessed it. Poppies! Every story in this series will have some part in his home town. But remember, the title of this series is The Adventures of Lorenzo the Bear. He will travel and explore new places, the only limit to his adventures is my imagination.
What should we know about him?
--- I hope everyone has enjoyed a look at my latest blog about Lorenzo. I invite you to pop over to my blog page to finish reading the rest!
