PublishAmerica Presents The Adventures of Little Buddy and Grizz
by Douglas J. Archambault
Frederick, MD March 6, 2009 -- PublishAmerica is proud to present The Adventures of Little Buddy and Grizz by Douglas J. Archambault.
The Adventures of Little Buddy and Grizz takes a modern-day setting and a writing style that goes back in time before Yogi Bear and Charlotte’s Web to the time of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. The author brings to life the adventures of a ten-year-old boy who becomes lost in Yellowstone National Park and meets a gigantic grizzly that can talk. Simplistic in nature but full of adventure and humor, the story spans twelve years of the boy’s life.
Douglas’ first book, Two Stepped Out for Him, published in August 2005, brought to life a personal spiritual call that led him and his wife, Joan, on a five-year quest filled with unexpected surprises, trials, and friendships.
Douglas’ second book, The Darkness Before the Dawn, published in 2006, brought to life another personal story that dealt with his unexpected illness with colon cancer, which later uncovered other underlying issues. Included with this book was a book of poems, In My Footsteps/Poems to Inspire. These poems written during his convalescence inspired him to write The Darkness Before the Dawn.
Douglas J. Archambault and his wife Joan reside in Tilton, New Hampshire.

The Day Bruno came to my House
The last rays of sunlight were leaving our pine grove as the sun slowly rested behind the trees.
The pine grove was quiet and not a leaf was moving, not a whisper of a breeze did I feel as I slept the early evening away on our lawn swing.
I dreamed of long ago, in the old house where I was born. I remember seeing a bear outside of my window. I opened the window to poke a stick at it and the bear swatted the stick away.…

One night he dr…

Looking Back
Human nature being what it is some of us have always been concerned about the years ahead. We would like to know what the future would bring. There is a fear of the future with the sickness or death of a loved one. We look in the mirror and see this face looking back at us, and say wow I am getting old. Getting old has never bothered me, having limitations on physical fitness does. But with God’s Grace we overcome the obstacles that lie before us.
When I retired I had little skills…

There were 13 of us present and we all prayed and laid hands on her and we could see the weight
being lifted from her shoulders as she lifted our son up to the Lord as a…

Why I wrote The Adventures of Little Buddy and Grizz
I wanted to take a modern day setting and a writing style that goes back in time before Yogi Bear and Charlotte’s Web to the time of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. I did not want illustrations to distract who the characters were. I wanted the reader to be Buddy and experience for themselves, the adventures as they unfolded around them. I wanted to bring to life the adventures of a 10-year old boy who becomes lost in Yellowstone National Park…
