Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book Money is not the root to all evil, no. It's the love of money that is deep-rooted in an unsuspecting, tormented soul. Beth Harrison, the heroine in Beyond the Whitecaps, is very old and is dying. Her entire life had been clouded with sad desire, tragic wealth, and contaminated fame. In and out of consciousness, Beth drifts back to when tragedy, greed, and murder took hold of her family, the wealthiest family in the world. While vacationing in England, a horrific accident took the lives of a Harrison grandchild and a daughter-in-law. Being the wealthiest family in the world, and having strangulated ties to the royal family, the accident would change the course of world history, and it would sadly chase the Harrisons forever. Greed and social concepts of royal blood, blueblood, and the ill-bred come together in unwarranted sex, violent sex, and painfully needed sex, with homosexuality more welcomed than the natural state of lubrication. The love of money sharing the love of power is much more than beyond evil; it's beyond the whitecaps. About the Author Retired schoolteacher Abelina P. Kraus and her daughter, Jane Moxley, a quality assurance specialist for Becton Dickinson, are co-authors of Beyond the Whitecaps. The mother-daughter team shares a love for writing. Beyond the Whitecaps, their third book, took a little over ten years to write. Krausville, a children's book, and Mausoleum, a thriller, are their first two published books. Sadly, Abelina passed in 2016, leaving behind nine children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when she has no job and no prospects, Christy Ogden receives an invitation to join an old friend on a sailing trip around the Channel Islands off the coast of Southern California. It is 1939 and the world is on the brink of war, but Christy needs a break. She knows little about sailing and does not know Jean Dryden very well, but she is determined to take the opportunity to get away from home. Her mother died a year before, but her father has not recovered from it. He has been laid off from work even though the Depression is supposed to be over. Christy feels guilty, but at least her father will not have to worry about feeding and clothing her for two weeks. It is a fateful decision. In Santa Barbara, Christy meets Jean and they take off in her beautiful sailing yawl, called the Queen, to sail to Santa Cruz Island almost immediately. For several days, Jean teaches Christy to sail, they anchor in several coves and get to know each other. Christy notices that Jean has many ways to avoid direct questions. Christy wonders why Jean asked her, a very slight acquaintance, to come along on this trip. Slowly, it comes out that Jean has a mission. She thinks that the Japanese are about to invade the mainland of the United States. As proof, she mentions a number of transmission she has heard on the marine band radio. When she hears another, she will discuss it with Christy. Meanwhile, they meet a number of men and women on other boats and are invited to dinner on a yacht, picnic on a beach and to the boat of a man that Christy instinctively dislikes. Al Melrose is traveling with Matt Price, whom Christy likes immediately and cannot understand why he is with Al, the crude boor. Discovering that Al is a Harvard graduate and an expert in International relations, makes him more curious, but no more likable. While Jean is still away from the boat at a picnic, Christy discovers a book on the shelf in the boat's salon. Called Riddle of the Sands and published in 1903, she begins to read this fascinating story. It does not take her long to realize that the plot is similar to the trek Jean and Christy have been living. In light of the evasions and half-truths Jean has told her, Christy does not mention the book yet. Jean finally reveals that the broadcasts she has heard are in Japanese and Christy is the only one she knows who is familiar with the language. When Jean asks why Christy learned the language, Christy tells her the story of her own great grandmother who came from Japan. When she finally hears a message, she is puzzled by the fact that it is spoken in stiff, poor Japanese. Their boat is searched one night when they are asleep and they leave the next morning to sail east to Catalina Island. Jean is sure that an old flame of hers, whom they met their first night out, is behind it all. Christy is not so sure. After a day at the west end of the island, they decided to go to Avalon, the only town on the island. It is on the east end and they sail along the south shore to get there. Soon they discover that their engine does not work and they are nearly smashed on the rocks at Little Harbor. Jean's superior knowledge of sailing techniques saves them. The next day they set out again to sail to Avalon. In the meantime, there has been another broadcast and Christy tries to translate it. Christy asks Jean if she has deliberately created this trip and this danger to follow the plot of the Riddle of the Sands, the book she found in the Queen,. Jean denies it vehemently. As they round the east end of Catalina, they are nearly knocked down by a Santa Ana wind blowing forty knots from the east. Again Jean's knowledge saves them and they are able to sail up to a dock without mishap, watched by a gaggle of tourists and locals on the dock. They hire a local mechanic to work on the engine and he reveals that it has been deliberately sabotaged. Just as they should be trying to find out who has done this, Jean

Book excerpt: That little voice in your head ...your conscience. We all hear it, in our own ways. It's been portrayed as an angel in one ear and a devil in the other, but it's really all in your head. Isn't it? Ariel Parisi leads a carefree, charmed life...until a random act of charity reveals those angels and devils and sends him in search of hope. SOUL AFFLICTED is a godless man's journey, following the voices in his head and signs from God, seeking the angel who'll save him from the sins afflicting him. But is Ariel afflicted, or has he lost his grip on reality as his charmed life falls to pieces? This book explores spirituality through fiction, traveling from Colorado through the deserts of the American Southwest, to L.A. and on to Hawaii. It weaves basic tenets of western religions and Buddhism with elements of mystery and the paranormal. It doesn't preach or espouse any religion, only one man's questions about faith.

Book excerpt: A founding father of the American conservative movement, Russell Kirk (1918–94) was also a renowned and bestselling writer of fiction. Kirk’s focus was the ghost story, or “ghostly tale” – a “decayed art” of which he considered himself a “last remaining master.” Old House of Fear, Kirk’s first novel, revealed this mastery at work. Its 1961 publication was a sensation, outselling all of Kirk’s other books combined, including The Conservative Mind, his iconic study of American conservative thought. A native of Michigan, Kirk set Old House of Fear in the haunted isles of the Outer Hebrides, drawing on his time in Scotland as the first American to earn a doctorate of letters from the University of St. Andrews. The story concerns Hugh Logan, an attorney sent by an aging American industrialist to Carnglass to purchase his ancestral island and its castle called the Old House of Fear. On the island, Logan meets Mary MacAskival, a red-haired ingénue and love interest, and the two face off against Dr. Edmund Jackman, a mystic who has the island under his own mysterious control. This new edition features an introduction by James Panero, Executive Editor of The New Criterion.

Book excerpt: Dermot Sparhawk, a former all-American football star at Boston College, returns in Beyond the Bridge, the prequel to Tom MacDonald's award-winning debut novel, The Charlestown Connection. In Beyond the Bridge, Sparhawk, a struggling alcoholic, agrees to help find the killer of an accused pedophile priest. When two more priests are slain in Boston's Charlestown neighborhood, it becomes evident that it is the work of a sadistic serial killer who crucifies his prey after killing them. Sparhawk blazes an unconventional trail to the killer that puts him at odds with the very people he is trying to help and initiates a turf war with law enforcement. He gathers a cadre of unlikely allies, including a parish priest, a police lab criminalist, the district attorney, and a state police lieutenant who help to rebuff attempts to derail him from the case. Then, with the help of his Micmac Indian cousin and his paraplegic tenant and former Boston College teammate, Sparhawk bulldozes his way to the truth, while putting his own life at risk.
