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.

The Tears of Blood

 


The Tears of Blood 


Book 1 of The Tears of Blood trilogy

What happens when you take away hope? How do you force change on a global scale? When a child smiles, all the happiness shows – but under the dirt and grime of a refugee child sometimes a future of possibilities is impossible to see. Imagine you could take some of these abandoned children out of the misery and decay of the refugee camps, place them with caring parents, educate them, then turn them into the most hunted terrorists ever to strike at civilisation.

Terrorists that attack the very cornerstones of our beliefs-religious, social, economic and political norms we take for granted. Imagine you are thrown back fifty years in time, and suddenly you are forced to live in a world without oil, gas or coal, electronic communication, food, and water, conditions that very much resemble those of a refugee camp.

The Tears of Blood is a fast paced psychological thriller that takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions, as you first feel for the children and their plight. Then join in the hunt with the women of Interpol Section Five to find them and mitigate the absolute terror they have created on an unprecedented scale worldwide.

Review of The Tears of Blood


The first attack decimates Vatican City and is followed by further atrocities causing lasting, catastrophic damage to the world’s economic, political, and religious foundations. Can Colonel PJ Anthony, the maverick lead investigator of Interpol, find the culprits before the planet is reduced to a nihilistic dystopia?

Hubbard writes with single-minded confidence and driving enthusiasm as the terrorists destroy and cripple systems, infrastructure, and beliefs. The narrative is remarkably imaginative, maintaining continuity and momentum in spite of a bewildering array of twists and turns.

It could be argued that it’s overwhelmingly far-fetched but, on several levels, the nucleus of the plot resonates neatly with a high degree of contemporary relevance. This lends the novel an unnerving sense of uncomfortable credibility and guarantees reader investment in the frantic hunt for the perpetrators.

As befits a book of this length, several plot strands and tangents eventually explain and unravel the reasoning behind the seemingly wanton destruction. Hubbard ensures there could be some sympathies with the terrorists’ motives, and elements of their justification raise subliminal yet profoundly interesting arguments.

The story is told from various perspectives both first and third person, although the majority point of view is given by Captain Jessica Riley of Interpol. She is tough, practical, and remains deceptively unassuming despite the flickers of vulnerability in her relationship with Colonel Anthony.

It is through her narrative that the reader is introduced to the Colonel. They have a shared working history, and there are also tantalizing hints of a possible previous romantic entanglement which creates an intriguing frisson of chemistry between the two.

Colonel Anthony is a rugged, battle-scarred, hard-bitten agent in the best tradition of lone-wolf ex-military operatives. Hubbard ensures that he remains somewhat enigmatic but he is immensely readable and capably carries the action forward.

All the characters are acutely observed. Even with minor players, care has been taken to give subtle yet defining details to establish their individuality, making them well-rounded and convincing.

The elderly Jesuit Priest, Brother Gómez, is developed with the right amount of compelling intensity without becoming stereotypical. Lt. Colonel Indigo Kashasini was charmingly engaging, with his fussing disguising a razor-sharp mind.

Arie Rosenberg, the former head of the Israeli Secret Service, was nicely avuncular and very likable. Further, the reliance on strong, highly intelligent, female personalities from all walks of life is refreshing in a book of this genre.

Geographically, the story hurls the reader around multitudinous landscapes, showcasing a meticulous level of research and knowledge into the differing environments, languages, and cultures. The scenes in Venice are particularly atmospheric, as are those set in the hostile terrain of the Middle Eastern desert.

Similarly, the standard of detail in terms of high-level espionage, military, and technological hardware and tactics is absorbingly comprehensive despite being fairly specialized. However, Hubbard manages to make it thoroughly accessible and supremely interesting without becoming confusing.

Notwithstanding, it could be debated that a more ruthless edit would have been advantageous. Areas of the plot may have benefitted from streamlining to have made them more impactful. There are also an unfortunate number of typographical errors and an over-use of exclamation marks. Although humor can be found in the bleakest of circumstances, the occasional levity felt a touch misplaced.

The first book in The Tears of Blood trilogy is a gripping, high-octane page-turner that is rewarding, entertaining, and thought-provoking to read. Boasting an incredibly ambitious plotline, impeccable research, and a diverse, interesting cast, Peter A. Hubbard delivers on his promise to take the reader into an unprecedented world of absolute terror.

Bitcoin Mass Adoption:

Cryptocurrency Explained for Individuals & Small Business



What to Expect in Bitcoin Mass Adoption
With a focus on delivery of practical information for individuals and business owners, Bitcoin Mass Adoption answers the questions we all have about cryptocurrency, covering topics like buying crypto, storing it securely, and managing payments as an individual or a business. With details on how cryptocurrency is taxed in several regions, this is an essential read for anyone interested in using cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin Mass Adoption goes on to chronicle major milestones in the history of cryptocurrency, then speculates on the identity of the mysterious author of this revolutionary new technology.

Bitcoin Released Against a Backdrop of the 2008 Global Financial Mess
During the global financial crisis of 2008-9, then deemed "too big to fail", banks were bailed out at the expense of the taxpayer.

On 9th January 2009 at 6.15pm GMT, anonymous person(s) under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, mined the genesis block of the Bitcoin blockchain and released the first cryptocurrency software to the world.

Embedded in the genesis block was the hidden message:

"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"

Like Prometheus stealing fire from the gods, Satoshi seized control of money away from governments and made it available to us all.

In response, Britain, China, the EU, the US and others scramble to develop their own centralised digital currency equivalents, while juggling rampant inflation with endless money printing.

Amidst this chaos, the crypto market reached a peak capitalisation of over $3 Trillion USD. Ordinary investors who've caught glimpse of what this technology is capable of, are taking control of their financial destiny - and saying no to fiat and centralised currency forever.

Sun Moon and Three Less Stars

 


Sun, Moon and Three Less Stars 


The SUN is a beacon of light, the source of happiness, the symbol of hope. The MOON is also a beacon of light, a guide in darkness, the symbol of change. Stars are a dime a dozen. There are just under eight billion people on Earth, and even with just that we don’t seem to care when a life is lost, or a story overlooked. It’s just an everyday occurrence that can easily go under the radar if it doesn’t directly affect us personally. Out of sight, out of mind. Just imagine what that means for an estimated one hundred billion stars in our Milky Way. One could explode. One could die out. One could fall, and as long as it doesn’t affect our planet, we couldn’t care less. In reality, stars are representative of people, stories and dreams. They hold the secrets and talents that don’t get recognized unless they shine brighter than others. Some only due to their positioning in space. You could almost say that by unpacking one of these stories you would have “one less star” to absorb, recognize or understand. These are Three Less Stars…
