As I sewed, I started thinking about all the bears I’ve known over the years: my own long-lost childhood companions, my children’s teddies, those perennial favourites, Rupert, Pooh, Paddington ….
And as my mind filled with cuddly images I began making up a story. Something about teddy bears? No, that would be too easy. This one’s going to be a really complicated murder mystery …
Do you love bears? Have you written about them?

Yes and Yes. There's a bear in "Davey's Summer."
No, I haven’t ever written about a teddy bear. I can’t remember owning one either.
I don’t get the teddy thing at all.
But I like your cushions; hope the teddy in your story doesn’t go round murdering people like me, who ignore them.
Those cushions are wonderful Linda. I would love to read the finished story.
I haven't started writing it properly yet, Susan, I just scribbled down the main plot and some character notes so I won't forget. I think it would stretch to novel length but I must finish all my other 'works in progress' first!
