I Wish I Had a Dinosaur

  


I Wish I had a Dinosaur:

A jurassic adventure, ideal present for Christmas, birthday for kids 2 -7 years who'd love a T-Rex dino or dog as a pet


Jack loves dinosaurs. Do you know someone like that? But Jack also loves his pet dog, Max. But on his fourth birthday, Max wishes his dog was a dinosaur. Nothing happens at first, but in this charming story Max grows into an almighty T-Rex. Underneath the terrible lizard exterior Max is still in there and just wants to play fetch and chase the mailman.

We all have a book in us. This dinosaur tale came about when a visit to the local toy store turned into a freakish horror story claims the author; David Davies.
During a routine trip to the toy shop bathroom, his son’s tiny hand became trapped in one the fixtures resulting in an ambulance ride to the local hospital. Then a transfer to a specialist children’s hospital and surgery. But while David stayed at his bedside, this story grew. A story about a boy wishing for a dinosaur and his wish coming true.
Then, after being unable to work due to Covid, David wrote the jurassic story and sent it various publishers. And in November 2021, this book was finally released. So, he could share the story so loved by his own son in his hour of need.
Available in paperback and ebook as well as notebooks, doodle pads and other educational material, available on Amazon.

A Long Walk to Nowhere


Christopher Dunn is a normal man with a talent as a great story teller. This is his story, but it could very easily be yours. A story of a normal life and all the tragedy and triumph that accompany it. It is a story about rejection and belonging; it is a story of friendship and betrayal, it is a story of love and loss; it is a story sexual assault and overcoming; it is a story of depression and suicide. It is a human story, it is all of our story.

With the use of humor and story telling, Dunn weaves a tapestry of the human experience that is relatable and life changing.

Here you will find a conversation with a friend, a conversation that we need to have in our culture. Dunn, uniquely does not draw conclusions, but asks all the questions. The answers are left to the reader to decide for themselves based on their own life experience. So get prepared to take a walk, a long walk that will end nowhere, wherever your nowhere is.

Fair Winds of Death

 


Fair Winds of Death


Decades before NCIS became a television hit drama series, the real men and women of the Naval Investigative Service (NIS), both Navy and civilian personnel, solved case after case around the world without the help of personal computers, cell phones, DNA, or the Internet. They had to rely on dangerous street work, investigative skills, logic, experience, and information derived from informants to put the bad guys in the brig. And sometimes, plain old luck was the key factor.

In 1971, Lieutenant Commander Marcus Colt is the top internal affairs investigator for the NIS Washington D.C. headquarters. When the unusual cases come across the desks of the top Navy brass, this decorated officer is the one who gets handed the job. He is intelligent and driven to always succeed, but his somewhat short temper and touch of sarcasm can complicate things. For this latest case, his youthful looks and uncanny investigative skills are essential as he goes undercover as a junior enlisted man in Norfolk, Virginia. 

His mission is challenging: quickly find and stop the leaks of sensitive NIS information that have resulted in the murders of at least four confidential informants on the Norfolk Navy Base. To accomplish this difficult task, he has to build close relationships with all the personnel in the NIS unit, invade their privacy, and dig up all their secrets all while keeping his true identity and mission from them.

As the case takes unexpected twists and turns, loss of an old love, meeting a high-ranking officer’s daughter, avoiding assassins, and overcoming his own personal guilt from a previous Vietnam mission add complexity to the assignment. But both new and old friends and coworkers give Marcus the help he needs as he works to solve this case before time runs out and someone else dies.

Author Bio

Billy R. Wade, Jr. enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserve in 1969. After being called to active duty, he graduated top of his class from both basic training at Naval Training Center (NTC) Orlando, Florida and Yeoman ‘A’ School at NTC Bainbridge, Maryland. 

After this training, he was assigned to the Naval Investigative Service Office in Norfolk, Virginia for nearly two years in the early 1970s. While there on active duty, he earned the Navy’s Pistol Marksmanship Ribbon with ribbon device ‘S’ after qualifying as a Sharpshooter with the standard sidearm at that time, the 1911 .45 ACP semi-automatic pistol. 

He left active service as a Petty Officer Third Class. While it was not required, Bill spent three additional years as a weekend reservist at his local Navy Reserve Center assisting with the clerical demands of the center, a Seabee unit, and a training course development unit.  

He holds degrees in Business Management and Computer Science, and studied marketing at the University of South Florida. Born in Roanoke, Virginia, he spent his teen years and much of his adult life in the Tampa Bay area of Florida before escaping to the mountains of West Virginia. 

While new to fiction writing, Bill has written several technical “how-to” articles that were published in hobby magazines. And he is nearly finished with the next adventure for his Fair Winds protagonist, Marcus Colt. He attributes his new love of fiction writing to surviving brain surgery a few years ago. As Bill phrases it, some of the connections in his brain have found “new and definitely different pathways.” 

In addition to writing, he owns and operates a hobby kit manufacturing business on his property in rural West Virginia. Bill helps the local volunteer animal shelter by fostering rescue animals with special needs. When not cutting firewood or shoveling snow, he spends his little free time staying proficient with his Colt 1911 .45 pistol to better assist with security at his church.

The Hart Method

 


 

The Hart Method:

Discovering Your Joy, Power, 

and Freedom Through Movement


"The Hart Method" is titled after my own personal life experience. I experienced a trauma that landed me in a deep depression where I felt disconnected from myself and life. I feel that at some point in our life, we all experience trauma. Without the proper guidance, we may fall deeper into a hole that feels almost impossible to come out of. "The Hart Method" is made up of 8 principles that we all innately possess but have forgotten. Once we re-incorporate these fundamentals, we will feel more connected to ourselves, and when we reconnect to ourselves, we can feel connected to our environment. "The Hart Method" may be the practical guide that makes all the dots connect, from our body to mind, to the environment, and to life.
