Bears Know Best

A New Novel by Tiffany Shar!

I'm pleased to announce that I will begin posting my new novel, 'Bears Know Best' tomorrow evening here on BC. I will be releasing it here as a serial work, or you may purchase the full edition on Lulu.com beginning tomorrow as well. This book is a standalone work outside of my Standing Up to Life Series. I hope you will all enjoy it!

Thirteen year-old Taylor Landt’s step-mother believes that he should be the next great football player for the high school he’ll be attending in the fall. Having a dad who is an accomplished professional linebacker, and growing up surrounded by professional football coaches and players should all but guarantee his ability to dominate on the field. Unfortunately he hates playing football, and knows his height and build will never allow him to be successful at the sport. Faced with an obsessive step-mother who ignores his obvious talents in other areas but instead thinks he is a blight on his father’s reputation, Taylor does the unthinkable and moves to Ohio to live with his mother who abandoned their family and left him with his father eight years ago.

Soon after his arrival, Taylor discovers there’s more to his inability to follow in his fathers’ footsteps than just his height. Will it be possible for him to make friends in a new town in the middle of nowhere outside the shadow of his dad's fame? Will Taylor be able to finally make peace with his mother who abandoned them all those years ago? And how long can he keep his secrets to himself?

Comments

Yippee! ! !

I really enjoyed your Standing Up To Life series and am thrilled to hear of your new book. It is probably good that you did not start throwing out teasers for Bears Know Best six months ago. The wait would have been pure agony.

Bonus material

If I buy the book does it come with the bear on the cover?

That would be cool -- I'm just saying

Writing is what you do when you put pen to paper, being an author is what you do when you bring words to life

Unfortunately Not

Unfortunately not, but you can probably get a bear just like her at Build-A-Bear. I picked her up a few weeks ago to be the star of the cover!

Well I've already read it!

Like all Tiffany's books, it's a sweet and fun story. There's something about her writing that is so captivating you don't even realize when you've you've suspended your disbelief. Like all good fairy tales it's got all the obligatory characters, evil step-mother, knight in shining armor, etc. but I leave it to others to identify the singing teapot! :-)

Thanks, Tiff for allowing me an early look!
