  • The Family of Fang and Claw

    AA Peterson

    eBook
    This book might not be for you.It would be irresponsible to write a synopsis without saying that first. That’s not a marketing ploy. It’s not a gimmick to catch your intrigue. There’s no convoluted political reasoning for the trigger warning other than genuine empathy for you as a human being. I’m saying it like a doctor trying to write a prescription for what ails you. This book will probably be like medicine for some people. It will open up new ways of thinking, help you empathize with more people, and give you better insight into your own personal demons. For others, this book will be like poison.I don’t pull punches and I wrote this book to tear the scars off your heart. Start to finish, this book is meant to knock the wind out of you. So if your heart is already bleeding, and you’re trying to catch your breath, please leave it be and come back another time.That being said...Thirteen demons of the Family have come to destroy the World. From a dimension beyond comprehension, the Family seeks to complete the Rituals of Breaking and erode the barriers between Worlds. By turning human vice into the power for their dark magics, the Family has but to set the stage and let our frailties play out for humanity to condemn itself. Hope comes only by Breaking the Names of the Family, for they are made vulnerable when they choose a Monument for their Rituals. If a human should choose virtue over vice and overcome their darkest desires, only then can the Family die. It will fall to Seth, Monument of the Full Knowing Choice of Evil, to decide the ultimate Fate of the World. Seth has to answer a single question to save the world. But will he be able to find the answer in time?
  • Just One More Day

    Bill Peterson

    language (AuthorHouse, April 19, 2016)
    As a young man I experienced many things that I found not only intriguing but relevant to young men like me. Afraid for where I am, afraid of where I am going, and not sure how I may get there with a growing family. I started to write this book out of experience I was having and didnt know what to do.So I decided to write all my good and bad times down so if I ran into a problem like that again I would know what to do by looking back over my life experience I was born in a country area where we work and took care of each other and shared each other hope and dreams I miss one grade in high school this book is for everyone who has or will have to face life and grow from the real time discussion you would have to face this book is one section of my life from nineteen seventy four until nineteen eighty-nine.

He vividly captures the triumphs and setbacks of her dramatic life, including the private quest that led to her now-famous activism. Peterson, a longtime Goodall collaborator, has a unique knowledge of his subject. Candid and illuminating, this work will be a revelation even to readers who are familiar with the public Goodall as presented in her own writing.
