Author Bio:
A cat lover from an early age, Peter Scottsdale wrote his first cat tale, “The Cat and the Dog,” in a grade three creative writing exercise – the story of a cat and a dog lost in the woods, and the police shooting the dog for some reason. Peter drew inspiration for the story from Disney’s The Incredible Journey.
Inspired by such books as Hardy Boys Mysteries, Marvel Comics and Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Scottsdale wrote several published short stories with his grade nine English teacher.
Then life happened. Scottsdale stopped writing, only scribbling bits of story every so often. A family came along which turned into single parenthood. He raised his kids and wrote here-and-there.
Throughout his life, cats have been a welcome and influencing presence. From Tia (a Siamese) to Booties (a Tabby with White) to Rusty (an orange boy with little ears) to Sam the Siamese, Peter has loved all his felines (and still does). He’s loved all his cats so much so he started to write about them. They have inspired and delighted him to create cat stories and to find feline facts for his books.
Cat lover turned author, Peter Scottsdale published his first book, 365 Fascinating Facts You Didn’t Know About Your Cat, in 2012. He followed that with “The Christmas Cat” and more cat books both in print and as ebooks – all available online.
An English Major, Scottsdale graduated from Medicine Hat College with an Associate of Arts Diploma in 1995. He continues to research our furry felines and write cat fiction and non-fiction and hopes fellow kitty-cat people will enjoy his work.
Currently, he resides in Medicine Hat, AB with his three cats: Tanzy (the feisty feline), Alley (the mischief maker) and Tigger (the gentle giant).

Free WWII Kindle on Amazon Nov. 22 and 23 Only!
War is Personal.
Hell, Luck and Resilience: A WWII Combat Marine’s Accounts of Okinawa and China
It’s all true -tragic, dryly funny, inspiring, historic, and thought-provoking titled:
The invasion of Okinawa was one of the bloodiest battles of WWII Pacific. The casualties were monumental. Roy Wilkes, Private, USMC was unfortunate enough to have a front-row seat. He witnessed twenty-three of his friends die in a bombing. True, gripping stories and pictures reveal the mind, heart, and soul of a fighting WWII Marine.
EXCERPTS FROM THE BOOK:
“The grim reaper missed me. The dumb bastard had a close-up swing at me on six different occasions—and missed.”
“The casualties were monumental. Trucks were coming down the lines with Marines piled like cordwood. They put ponchos over ‘em, but you could see all these feet dangling out. It was like a conveyor belt. We were going up and they were coming back. The only difference is we were alive—and they were dead.”
“The Marine Raider [A Raider is a part of the elite special operations force] said, “If another grenade comes in, I’ll take care of it.” And just as he said that another grenade came in. He grabbed his rifle and charged the hill.”
“Continuous rain dampened the soul.
The low, thick dark clouds made sure God didn’t see.
What happened here was a secret from Him.
God was busy someplace else.
So this part of His Universe went insane.”
Semper Fi
This fascinating book is also a perfect history lesson for students since it covers all aspects of the Battle of Okinawa: Mental, emotional, historical, and personal. There are short stories about the war—some tragic, some funny, some thought-provoking—but all true. There are also 54 pictures, two interviews with Roy, and “After the War” pages. This eye witness account gives the complete picture of what World War II was really like and how PTSD was with him till the end of his life.

The Ultimate Secrets of Intelligence by Alicia Wilcox
About The Ultimate Secrets of Intelligence by Alicia Wilcox
Intelligent people rarely look like intelligent people. The Ultimate Secrets of Intelligence traverses the flaws of our contemporary understanding of intelligence, including Imposter Syndrome, pseudo-intellectuals, and The Pygmalion Effect. Wilcox reveals unrecognized points of ignorance in a captivatingly honest way. She offers solutions for the debates and complexities of what it means to be intelligent, and a foundational, shocking pattern is revealed from the overarching ignorance. This pattern bridges the gap between the strikingly narrow vision of intelligence and it’s true form. Sourcing its revelations from both human nature and concrete data, The Ultimate Secrets of Intelligence gives a practical and inspiring groundwork in order to tap into your intellect. Intelligence has the power to foster a society in which revolutionary ideas are not only communicated, but enacted by their very birthplace: the intelligent mind itself.

Mind to Eyes By Daniel Malcolm
About Mind to Eyes By Daniel Malcolm
“I have only a few things to offer you:
My heart, my soul, and a love pure and true.”
Everyone’s perception of the world is different: the one factor is that there is both beauty and destruction in the beholder.
Mind to Eyes is a powerful, emotive beholder gazing at the world around them; noting their impressions and experiences straight from the heart and onto the page.
There is strength in feeling, in loving – and letting people know that it is all right to share what harbours in the heart and mind. From the realms of loneliness, the stance of the world, gender equality, the games and illusions of love, loss, and W.M.Ds – these verses will make a reader challenge the views they have and examine the feelings that motivate them to have a fresh outlook on what they see in the world around them and the love and inspiration waiting to be found.
“Some people view emotions as a weakness and un-cool;
What these people don’t realize is thinking like that,
Shows you are a fool.”
