BOOK SUMMARY
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
Peter David is the pen name for Peter Hartog. Peter Hartog is definitely not the pen name for anyone else. Regardless, both Peters despise talking about themselves in the third person.
So, I guess I won’t.
I was born in Massachusetts, raised by MTV, the A-Team, Star Trek, Star Wars, action figures, comic books, D&D, classic heroic fantasy, and Saturday morning cartoons. Then I moved to Georgia much later in life. Because the Deep South apparently needs northerners like me.
(No, they actually don’t.)
When I’m not writing, I’m working. Ok, that’s not entirely true. But mostly, it IS true. In-between that, I get run over by our cats Max, Leo, and Zoey, or Ollie, our big, goofy, fluffy golden retriever. I use “our” because I’m the proud father of two teenagers, and the equally proud husband to a most-of-the-time loving wife who possesses an infinite amount of patience. I say “most-of-the-time” because there are some days when she doesn’t like me very much…usually because of something that I said or did…which is probably true.
I’m also the author of the ongoing urban science fantasy crime thriller series (say that 10 times fast…because I can’t), The Guardian of Empire City. You can find both books on Amazon.
Thank you for reading Buddy the Knight and The Queen of Sorrow.
