Annie Percik and Stanley Park

Annie lives in London, writing novels and short stories, whilst working as a freelance editor. She writes a blog about writing on her website (https://alobear.co.uk/), which is where all her current publications are listed, including her novels, The Defiant Spark and A Spectrum of Heroes. She hosts a media review podcast with her husband, Dave (https://stillloveit.libsyn.com/), and publishes a photo-story blog, recording the adventures of another of her bear friends (https://aloysius-bear.dreamwidth.org/). He, and Stanley, are much more popular online than she is.

Stanley is a bear with a big smile and a bigger heart. He is amazing and wants everyone to be able to acknowledge their own amazingness as well, because he knows everyone is. He is very squishy, a good listener, and gives great hugs.
