Publisher's Synopsis
Bullies. Seems to be a topic that hits the news almost every day in the modern world. But what's so new about Bully's? When the Persian Empire invaded Greece...King Leonidas probably thought that the Persian Army were bullies! When Rome tortured captive peoples in their "games" - wasn't that also bullying? Sure it was. Bullies aren't anything new to our world. They come...they go...they come back again. King Arthur and his Knights fought the bullies of their day and used their...Might for Right. Over the course of time (and I have seen almost 600-years of it), most people simply take the abuse. BUT SOME PEOPLE FIGHT. My real life observations in rhyme: are an account of those two extremes. I have journeyed the world over for almost six centuries. I have seen that when people fight the bully's...be they Were-Creatures or normal humans and animals...the bullies usually back down and the brave win the day. As you read these stories in rhyme keep this in mind. In the 1400's, to fight, often meant that you had to be good at wielding a sharp edged weapon. There were bullies who were Were-Creatures (Were-Pire's)...but just as likely they were plain old evil people masquerading as "Nobles" - Lords, Knights, Princes, and Kings. Were-Creatures or plain bad people...they all want to take something that belongs to YOU. Adults are bullied just as often as children. But these accounts deal mostly with the Were-Creatures favorite prey...children. Ancient times were not kind to anyone. Even today, the children suffer the most when adults go to war or do not allow free access to clean water. Good people must fight. People who are bullied today...have at their fingertips a cell phone to call for help. Or people to go to for help: parents, family, friends, police, clergy, doctors, 1st responders, school authorities, etc. A whole panoply of people willing to help you live and thrive! In the meantime...beware of things that go "arrgghhh" in the night! It's probably a Were-Creature coming for your life! Grab a silver pin...or a silver knife! Do NOT go quietly...fight, Fight, FIGHT!
