Peter and the Whimper-Whineys
Description
<span style="line-height:115%;font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Peter and the Whimper-Whineys is about a small rabbit who whines all the time. His mother cautions him that if he keeps on whining and crying, he’ll have to go live with the Whimper-Whineys. One night Peter hops into the dark forest.<span> </span>He meets some Whimper-Whineymen and discovers that not only do the Whimper-Whineys whine all the time, but they are very ill-mannered and rude. He discovers that everything is sour in Whimper-Whineyland and decides his mother was right! If only he can get back home… a recent critique, “Though there are other books out there for children about whining, I cannot imagine any parent or guardian not wanting to read this book to their child!... <span> </span>Parents everywhere applaud you!” </span></span>
Story Behind The Book
Dead Hunt started as a screenplay I wrote for my teenage daughter and her friends to star in as a fun weekend project. The script grew beyond what I could safely, or financially, film.
The script collected dust until I discovered Tee Morris' "Podcasting for Dummies: The Companion Podcast" Inspired by Tee, I rewrote the script into a novel that I could release as a podcast audio book. I later released it in print form.
