Peter Alexander

Mubu The Little Animal Doctor™ series creator and author, Peter Alexander, has been writing about animals since he was twelve years old. His first book was called Striped Chipmunk. He took his book to Thornton W. Burgess, the famed author of the Old Mother West Wind series, which included Peter Rabbit Jimmy Skunk, Sammy Jay, Bobby Raccoon, Little Joe Otter, Grandfather Frog, and other beloved animals. Mr Burgess encouraged Peter to keep writing about animals. After he graduated from Boston University, Peter wrote and directed the famous documentary film called The Animals are Crying, which told the story of unwanted cats and dogs in the United States. His movie won first prizes at three film festivals. In Thailand, Peter became concerned about the plight of elephants in that country. He wrote a screenplay entitled The Earth Trembled that dramatized the problems of those great animals. His research led him to Lek Chailert, founder of the Elephant Nature Park, who told him the story of Goldie, her first elephant. Today, Peter lives in Thailand and America, and continues to write about Mubu The Little Animal DoctorTM, and to help abused and homeless animals wherever he goes.

Prepare for 2012 with Peter Alexander's Beneath...

Beneath is a novel that transcends the usual apocalyptic scenario. Though most of the planet is destroyed in 2013 by cataclysms entailing massive earth change- earthquakes, volcanoes, tornados, flooding- at least two people survive to play roles on the restored planet that emerges for human habitation in 2018.

Dennis Quant, a 47-year-old author and survivalist and his teenage niece, Aggie, take shelter in a sanctuary Dennis has built beneath the earth in New Hampshire.

Precisely at that same time Dennis hooked a trout from a stream. He was surprised by the sudden appearance of a stream of wild animals- deer, rabbits, foxes - running out of the forest in a panic and making their way across the brook, disappearing in confusion downstream.

Momentarily, Dennis was bewildered. Then a mountain lion darted past him.

Suddenly realizing something, Dennis dropped his rod and dashed across the stream, heading in the direction of his shelter. Behind him came a roar from inside the earth moving in his direction. The ground began to break apart, now carving a new valley.

Though Beneath is sure to thrill readers, with its gritty storyline, the author is currently better known for his unrelenting concern for animal welfare. Peter's compelling documentary, "The Animals are Crying" was endorsed by the Humane Society of United States and distributed by Columbia Pictures. The half hour documentary was so effective that HSUS noted a decline of 300,000 deaths of homeless cats and dogs in the two years that followed the release of Peter’s film, which was seen by thousands of school children.

“It was my objective,” he explained, “for the film to inspire children to talk to their parents about the problem, and help change adult behavior regarding the overpopulation of cats and dogs.”

Peter has spent his life writing about the relationships between humans, our environment, and animals. The creator and author of the popular "Mubu The Little Animal Doctor (tm)" children's book series stated that Beneath has a lot of twists and turns, and will take you on the journey of a lifetime.

"There is a lot reality in Beneath. “I’ve spent years researching the possibilities facing us during the 2012-2013 period. With increasing volcanoes and earthquake activity now occurring around the world, the situation depicted in Beneath could face us very soon."

“Many people around the world today are building homes beneath the earth. Dennis doesn’t know how many people may have survived the cataclysm of 2013. He just knows that the towns and cities where he had lived in New Hampshire have been devastated. He has planned ahead for his survival. In his dreams he is visited by an entity who suggests that within five years the planet will be repaired, and life will be much different.

“Meanwhile, he has to teach his teenage niece how to become a survivor as they live in a forest with a growing number of predatory animals. In the end, it is Aggie who must save her uncle.”
