The Naked Storyteller
By Laura Michelle Thomas
Genre: Fiction, Contemporary Romance, Comedy
Harry Tyke is a flabby, divorced grade-six teacher on the
verge of a monumental mid-life crisis when he unexpectedly ends up in a
storytelling workshop taught by a creative, free-thinking
teacher-turned-storyteller named Olga. The workshop awakens Harry’s long dead
romantic side and hurls him into stories from his past, including his decision
to give up on his dream of being a novelist to please his parents, a decision
this classroom-weary teacher can no longer live with as he sags into his
fifties.
Questioning contemporary ideas of what makes a happy and
productive life in an increasingly digital world, this romantic comedy––set in
Vancouver, Canada––will have you cheering for this unlikely leading man from
start to finish.
My Review:
The Naked Storyteller is such an awesome novel. Readers are
introduced to 52-year-old schoolteacher, Harry Tyke. He is a bit of a mess both
emotionally and physically. Harry reluctantly attends an educational conference
where his life is unexpectedly turned upside down by workshop leader, Olga. She is a
radiant and confident being who knocks Harry off his feet and ignites a fire within his soul to manifest his dreams.
Laura Michelle Thomas is an exceptional writer. Her words
sucked me into Harry’s world and I was thrilled to travel alongside him as he
shed his jaded skin and worked towards becoming the person he had always desired to be.
There is humor, drama, romance, and a wonderful cast of characters. You’ll be
rooting for Harry and his beard the entire time!

author of her own life and had a beard. When she’s not writing and telling her
