Pete Chaytor's new book, 'Black Winter', is the enthralling tale of a grotesque brute of a man who embraces an exiled young girl facing the dangers of the wild
Aug 4, 2021
Pete Chaytor, a Canadian-born husband and father of two who loves docile wildlife, has completed his new book, "Black Winter": a gripping tale of an outcasted man and an exiled girl who comes to depend on him.
Chaytor details Vidar's beginnings with Freya, saying, "I walked with the little one under my skins and in the curve of my arm for a very long time. My mind had been preoccupied, and I had not kept track of the steps, so I did not have an accurate measure of how far we had traveled. When I felt the little one began to stir, I knew she would soon find her way back from her deep sleep and awaken, so it was time for me to look for a shelter for us to temporarily take refuge. There was nothing around here in this flat land but forest, so I would have to construct something. At that moment, a fine, majestic old pine tree presented itself in front of me. It was tall and very broad on the bottom with large drooping limbs touching the ground. I used my blade to chop limbs from nearby pines to weave into those of the old pine's lower branches to create a cover. It was difficult work using only one arm, and the chopping of limbs grossly dulled the edges of my blade."
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Pete Chaytor's enthralling tale pulls on the heartstrings and ignites empathy for these two unlikely misfit friends.
Voluntarily taking on the responsibility of caring for this young girl, Vidar faces the challenge of finding food, warmth and shelter for his small charge. Chaytor explains, "The brute is willing to stand before man, the beasts of the wild, and the relentless Black Winter's bitter cold and storms that rage for days to protect his charge. Despite having never experienced any compassion during his wretched life, Vidar is a good and decent man, and his love of this girl fuels his resolve. He willingly faces every adversity and adversary with a ferocity that is tempered only by the knowledge she will not survive without him."
Readers who wish to experience this captivating work can purchase "Black Winter" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.

Smart Green Village breaks ground as Rwanda advances conservation-led tourism
Rwanda marked the 21st edition of Kwita Izina with the ground-breaking of the Smart Green Village, part of the Volcanoes Community Resilience Project and Rwanda’s long-term vision for the restoration and expansion of Volcanoes National Park. The initiative is designed to ensure communities surrounding Rwanda’s national parks benefit directly from conservation and tourism-driven growth. The wider programme includes plans to expand Volcanoes National Park by approximately 3,740 hectares and establish around 6,620 hectares of buffer zones, creating additional habitat for Rwanda’s growing mountain gorilla population. The project is expected to improve livelihoods for more than 17,000 people across approximately 3,400 households while reducing human-wildlife conflict by 80 per cent. Rwanda also celebrated 21 years of Kwita Izina in 2026, with 22 baby mountain gorillas named during the annual conservation ceremony. Read the Rwanda Development Board announcement.
