2017 Maine Literary Award, Children's Finalist It's bedtime for Bob. But, oh no, he sees a pair of eyes in the dark! Who is it? With a flashlight, Bob discovers it's a friendly creature wishing him goodnight. Goodnight, Bob! Then more eyes appear. Who is it now?
Goodnight, Bob is a blending of two stories; it spans 51 years and chronicles a love affair between a 15-year-old girl and a 21-year-old young man, who elope on a dare from a friend. The book describes the struggles and successes of a woman who became a wife and mother, while still a child herself. Bob was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in 2002. ALS is a debilitating, neurodegenerative illness that slowly leads to paralysis and death. Goodnight, Bob speaks of the inevitable difficulties and relentless stress we experienced as our relationship slowly evolved from that of husband and wife to that of patient and caregiver. Our story is written honestly and bluntly, with all struggles, mistakes, and pain revealed, along with the humorous, vulnerable, and loving times. Goodnight, Bob was written with the hope that those who are living with a debilitating illness will know they are not alone.
Carter USM were a duo, trio and eventually sextet formed by South London friends Jim Morrison (aka Jim Bob) and Les Carter (aka Fruitbat), who made their name with a mix of social commentary, puns, loud guitars and electronic pop music. They had 14 top 40 singles in the UK and released seven studio albums, one of which reached #1 in the UK charts. During their ten year career Carter USM played nearly 800 live gigs all over the world. Ten years of riots, strip searches, murder accusations and more. This is their fascinating story.
