Every month, we love taking a moment to recognize the achievements of our Tellwell authors. This April we’re celebrating five-star reviews and a well-earned award, and spotlighting one of our incredible storytellers.

Let’s look at some of the highlights and give a round of applause to the authors who continue to inspire us!

Publicity

Tellwell author Cindy Cherry has been making headlines with her book The Don Cherry Story, a heartfelt tribute to her father. Featured in Toronto Sun and Yardbarker, the book is a celebration of Cindy’s life with the iconic hockey coach and commentator.

Don Cherry, one of Canada’s most well-known and controversial figures, is best known for his outspoken opinions on hockey and politics. Cindy provides a frank account of his career, from his days as a player and coach to his rise as a broadcaster, and his impact on the hockey world and his family.

In a moving social media post, Don Cherry expressed, “This year has been the hardest of my life. I miss her every day, but I know she’s with me in spirit.”

This new book adds a personal layer to Cherry’s career, shedding light on his life beyond the public persona and offering an intimate look at a complex, influential figure.

Book Award

We’re happy to share that Peter Gribble has won a Gold Medal from The BookFest Awards in the Literary Sci-Fi & Fantasy category for his book Within.

Within is a richly imagined story that blends speculative fiction with deep, literary themes—truly a standout in its genre. Peter’s has published three books with Tellwell in the City of the Magicians series: Threat, Within, and Quickening.
