    BugsBugsBugsHigh or lowFriends or foesSqueals or tearsPhobias or fearsThey get in your hairThey get in your eyesFind here or find them thereLittle bugs are found everywhere . . .This is a fun children's picture book, which adults can easily relate too and enjoy with their children.It helps children of a early age to realise that bugs are all around and hopefully teaches them something about bugs habitats and there is no real need to fear bugs.But also to be aware that some bugs can be harmful to them.I have used the word Bugs loosely in this book and this needs to be taken into account when considering this book. Some of the creatures I have used are not true Bugs, but are generally considered as Bugs or Insects by the general public. An example of this is my use of spiders, which are not true Bugs.

  • Dawn of Hope

    Peter Prichard

    eBook (Outskirts Press, Inc., July 11, 2015)
    “Excuse me, young lady. We have the ambulance on their way, and they want to know what happened to Drew Winston.” “He said he was going to rape me,” Dawn replied purposefully to the administrative assistant in the high-school office. “I pushed him away and tripped him, and as he fell, he hit his head on the corner of a water fountain, which was not my intent. He’s bleeding from his head and is in convulsions.” Within twenty-four hours of beginning her senior year at Fair Shore High School as a new student, Dawn Mortenson had chosen to fight the town’s acceptance of the bullying and sexual abuse of young women by confronting Drew Winston, the school’s All-American quarterback. Following that confrontation, she received multiple death threats, so her mother had to hire a security firm to protect herself and her daughter. That move did not work, as Dawn was kidnapped soon afterwards and ended up in the hospital. When Dawn had been released from the hospital, she had already gained a national reputation, which attracted more people who wanted her dead. She survived the bombing of a building she was visiting, which prompted FBI involvement. She stunned the agent who interviewed her, when in answer to his question about people who would like her killed, she was able to provide evidence of over fifty individuals who had specifically threatened her—including a police officer from her hometown, who had told her that he hoped the next attempt on her life would succeed. Dawn also clashed at times with those who even supported her efforts. A reporter in town had presented himself as someone who wanted to help. In describing why the culture of rape, bullying, and abuse has been tolerated in town, he ended with the statement, “Everybody is seen as winning, male and female alike. It is a great American success story. Fair Shore residents have paid top dollar to join the winning team and are disinclined to raise any questions about the unsavory practices that support its continuation. There is a feeling that ’boys will be boys.’” In response, Dawn exploded, “And you choose to support this? Goddamn you. Goddamn all of you. Let’s only hope, Mr. Bruschi, that the success of this ‘everybody-wins’ model spreads to towns all across America. Let’s only hope that, within a few years, tens of thousands of young women can be treated the Fair Shore way and be raped without comment, so that ‘boys can be boys.’” As she turned and headed toward the door, Joseph moved quickly to stop her. “Dawn, don’t leave.” “Go to hell. I thought there was hope with you because of some of the writing you’ve done. That series you did on the woman who overcame severe automobile injuries and resumed her career as an engineer after everybody said she would never work again was powerful.” “She is a remarkably brave young lady.” “And there are a lot of them out there, but your silence is ensuring that they will have to fight that much harder to create the stories they were born to tell." Dawn’s battle against the status quo lands a number of friends and enemies either in the hospital, in jail, or in an early grave. She uses rock-and-roll through befriending high-school band members who write their own lyrics that challenge the status quo, along with a combination of personal courage and mental toughness, to change the town forever, although at a huge personal cost.
  • Dawn of the Tobacco Wars: The Sequel to Dawn of Hope

    Peter Prichard

    eBook (Outskirts Press, Inc, Dec. 3, 2015)
    Dawn Mortenson is a teenager who simply cannot let bad things happen to people. That behavior led to her being kidnapped by a scientist who wanted to leave her brain dead while her former high school principal kidnapped her in order to tie her in chains and throw her into the ocean. She then helped save lives after the attempt to blow up the building she was in failed, leaving two security guards who stopped the attempt dead. She got to know FBI agent DuBois as he investigated these attempts on her life, insisting that her employer the Information is Power Consortium provide a 24 hour a day bodyguard for her after her house was burned to the ground after the fire alarms had been disconnected. She then accelerated the tobacco industries attacks on her by agreeing to serve as the emcee at the Madison Square Garden Make Big Tobacco Unprofitable concert where she introduced her good friend Johnny Cardone who sang his hit song UR Not Killin Our Kids. “I am a father and hope to be a grandfather, and I have had the privilege to meet tens of thousands of amazing young people over my career. And here’s the deal. The tobacco companies are targeting young people because if they don’t get young people to start smoking, they will be unprofitable. It’s as simple as that. So we are going to sing some kick ass rock and roll and encourage you to support the good guys in the tobacco wars who have set up tables out in the lobby.” And he launched into UR Not Killin Our Kids and flat out ripped it up. He walked down into the crowd, pulling people out of their seats to sing a line of the song with him, and kept walking. And then he said, “Alright folks upstairs hold on, I’m coming up.” And he did the same for those in the upper seats. And he sang the song and walked the whole distance of the iconic venue, singing his anti-tobacco anthem to all twenty-thousand—and to what would actually be a much larger audience, since the concert was being video-recorded and streamed live. Cameramen and women were scrambling after him as he walked, talked, and sang. William Gomez, the CEO of Global Tobacco Corporation and a hard-core rock-and-roll fan, was startled when he opened his tablet the morning after the concert and read the reviews of what had happened at the Garden. He threw his cereal bowl against the wall of his five-million-dollar Charlotte, North Carolina mansion after the second review mentioned how much money was contributed in one night toward the efforts to make his company less profitable. He impetuously emailed his executive team the concert review and commentary, with the words, “What part of make Dawn Mortenson’s life a living hell did you not understand?’’ Different reviews have described Dawn Mortenson, the heroine of both Dawn of Hope and the sequel Dawn of the Tobacco Wars as a person whose “strength of character was an inspiration, I would love to see her in a movie!” a “super heroine,” as someone who “is the person we all aspire to be, she has the courage of her convictions – even when she is standing alone,” “a passionate, intelligent, and courageous young woman who will be an inspiration to everyone,” as a person who is “imbued with a courageous voice and resolute nature,” and an individual who “is a force to be aware of, a kind of young woman her readers may strive to be.” An additional review stated, “Young actresses should start lining up to play Dawn Mortenson, the feisty, determined and very timely heroine of Dawn of Hope.”
