"It's a Buddy's World" is a collection of Gilham's short stories, essays and articles, many of which have been published in newspapers and magazines. Writing articles on specific topics led him to draw from his personal experiences for inspiration, and he added his own details, along with those of other people he knew, to create material that all readers can relate to. Gilham has divided "It's a Buddy's World" into two halves. The first half contains stories and articles that deal with relationships, family and love. The material is optimistic and hopeful. "The running theme is to laugh as often as you can, and worry as little as possible," Gilham says. The second half's subject matter is more dark and complicated, detailing various traumatic life events, their impact and their consequences. Gilham writes about the loss of a loved one, aging, depression and suicidal thoughts. "The message is, you will survive even though at times it seems you will not," Gilham says of the second half of "It's a Buddy's World." Bud Gilham was born in the small coastal community of Powell River in western Canada. As a young man he joined the Canadian Armed Forces and then worked in the forest industry. After completing his university education, he worked several jobs including counseling, teaching and sales. He currently lives in Vancouver, British Columbia and teaches English as a second language. - www.authorhouse.com
