Welcome to the Front Door of Christian Writer, Author and Poet Douglas J. Archambault and Poet
Joan M. Archambault
About the Author
Douglas Archambault started writing after he retired. He wrote "Two Stepped Out For
Him" in 2005 about a spiritual call that led his wife Joan and him on a five-year quest, filled with unexpected surprises,
trials and friendships.
He wrote "The Darkness before the Dawn/-In My Footsteps Poems to Inspire" in 2006 about how he overcame colon cancer
and a host of other issues when he thought he was healthy. During this time, he remained positive and kept his
humor. IHe started writing poems during his convalescence. The poem "The Hospital Room" inspired him to write
"The Darkness before the Dawn."
Douglas has his first children’s book which is also his first fiction book coming out in 2008. Entitled,
"The Adventures of Little Buddy and Grizz," This book brings to life the adventures of a 10-year old boy who becomes
lost in Yellowstone National Park and meets a gigantic grizzly that can talk. This story takes a modern day setting and a
writing style that goes back in time before Yogi Bear and Charlotte’s Web to the time of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys.
Simplistic in nature but full of adventure and humor the story spans 12 years of the boy’s life.
Douglas likes to use what he calls “easy words.” Part of his reasoning, is that he does
not want the reader to have to stop to take out a dictionary, which would take away from the experience. However, he
also likes to joke that he has a history of using simple words. Doug says “I think I was the worst speller
in the class back in the days I was in school.”
Douglas and his wife Joan have a book of poems coming out hopefully this year titled "Poems from Our House to Your
House." Joan uses a more rhymes poetry, while Doug uses more of an imagery poetry.
Douglas and his wife Joan live in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire.
Reviews
Two Stepped Out for Him
Doug’s first book is better than the site indicates. A new author he writes from his heart and experience not from
what he thinks a reader wants to hear in the message or on the page. October 2005
Two Stepped Out for Him
Douglas’ first book brings to life a story of faith, courage, and an unrelenting desire not to compromise with the
worldly of today, but remaining steadfast, caring, and sensitive to what God has allowed them to see and do. November 2005

Doug is an excellent writer. He writes from the heart. He and Joan combine to make an up and coming successful author.
His first books when read makes you feel like you could have been along with them experiencing all of the things that happen
as they are told. The second book is very will done also and Joan contributed poems as well. It is an incentive to all who
are cancer survivors. Look for his new children’s novel coming out some time before Christmas It is well done and very
entertaining . You won't be able to wait to see what happens next. September 2007

WHY SICK AND HEALTHY PEOPLE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK.
IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU, IT MAY BE HAPPENING NOW.
Two silent killers if left untreated.
Colon cancer in it’s early stages manifests no symptoms. I do not need to tell you about the problems with cancer.
But, did you know sleep apnea is as common as adult diabetes and affects twelve million Americans. Untreated, sleep apnea
can cause high blood pressure and other cardiovascular diseases, memory problems, weight gain, impotency, headaches, and may
be responsible for job impairment and motor vehicle crashes.
IF THIS BOOK DOES NOT PEAK YOUR INTEREST IT SHOULD.
The Darkness Before The Dawn
I had just been examined for my yearly physical and my medical examiner and I thought I was healthy. Two days later I started
to go into shock and was rushed to a hospital. I had a viral infection, urine infection,
blood infection, high blood pressure, and I was anemic. I was leaking blood internally and when I stood up my pulse would
race. It was determined through test that I had colon cancer, bph (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and sleep apnea. This book explains step by step the surgery and many tests I had to overcome while I continued to keep my faith, good
humor and a positive attitude.
