Book excerpt: Awarded ?Best Book? by the Graphic Arts Technical Foundation for the Printing Industries of Virginia?s 2002 Best in Print awards, this collection of more than 100 stunning Outer Banks photographs is possibly the definitive volume of its kind. Photographer Steve Alterman shares three decades? worth of static images offering fresh perspectives of both familiar and out-of-the-way scenes from Corolla through Ocracoke. As Alterman writes, ?Like the colors and patterns of a kaleidoscope, the Outer Banks assaults the senses. The smell of salt air, the pounding of the surf, the colors of the sky, and the presence of the local people, plants and animals all combine to give these barrier islands their ever-changing moods.? His attempt to capture these elements on film has become an obsession, and we?re the fortunate recipients of his talent. This coffee table book makes a perfect gift item ? but be sure to keep one for yourself, for once you leaf through its pages, you won?t want to part with it.

Book excerpt: Along North Carolina's Outer Banks, the beach and the infrastructure supporting it continue to be the area's economic engine, however, the region's other physical characteristics are often overlooked. Over the years of its rich history, natural and human forces have shaped the Outer Banks in a manner that has left a legacy of incredible beauty. Outer Banks Edge captures this beauty in an unstructured journey from Corolla to Ocracoke, concentrating on the shapes and colors that make the Outer Banks special. The book makes no attempt to be all things to all people. The photographs themselves drove the book, not vice versa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Outer Banks National Scenic Byway received its designation in 2009, an act that stands as a testament to the historical and cultural importance of the communities linked along the North Carolina coast from Whalebone Junction across to Hatteras and Ocracoke Island and down to the small villages of the Core Sound region. This rich heritage guide introduces readers to the places and people that have made the route and the region a national treasure. Welcoming visitors on a journey across sounds and inlets into villages and through two national seashores, Barbara Garrity-Blake and Karen Willis Amspacher share the stories of people who have shaped their lives out of saltwater and sand. The book considers how the Outer Banks residents have stood their ground and maintained a vibrant way of life while adapting to constant change that is fundamental to life where water meets the land. Heavily illustrated with color and black-and-white photographs, Living at the Water's Edge will lead readers to the proverbial porch of the Outer Banks locals, extending a warm welcome to visitors while encouraging them to understand what many never see or hear: the stories, feelings, and meanings that offer a cultural dimension to the byway experience and deepen the visitor's understanding of life on the tideline.

Drawn from the vast collections of the Outer Banks History Center and from locals mourning the forever changed character of the area, these vintage images reflect the hotels, stores, restaurants and bandstands that appeared in the boom time following World War II but have since been lost to progress. An honorary native, Downing has preserved the Pirate's Ball at Nags Head Casino, Doc Watson playing at the Sound Side on Kitty Hawk Bay and grits at the El Gay in this collection of hangouts and haunts of yesterday's summer.

Book excerpt: Can love survive at the edge of humanity? It's Dillon McCallister's grim duty to track down alien-infected humans-aka "Haunts"-and quarantine them on the Outer Banks for their protection. His job disgusts him, but he continues because if he can get to them before the other hunters, at least they'll be treated with respect. But now he has a new client with a different mission: to get a pharmaceutical executive's daughter out of the Outer Banks, because she may hold the key to a cure. Dr. Emery Mitchell hates what she's become, but she knows she may be the only hope for three hundred thousand detainees isolated on the North Carolina barrier islands-including herself. Dillon is the only man who seems to be able to see the woman behind the black eyes and cool skin, and as she slowly begins to trust him, she starts to see herself as he sees her. A human woman with a human heart. Yet as society begins to unravel, the pressure is on to find a cure-before the hate groups calling for eradication can no longer be drowned out. Warning: This book contains a good man in an impossible situation, a brilliant doctor desperate to feel human again, and a few insect-like aliens for good measure.

Book excerpt: “Captures the richness and complication of female friendships in a way few writers have done. . . incredibly rich characterizations and a profound sense of place.” — Cosmopolitan In her magnificent classic Outer Banks, acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Anne Rivers Siddons brilliantly recalls a lost time of hope and dreams—of comradeship, love, secrets, and betrayal—and creates characters brimming with life who will live in the heart forever. In the uncertain ‘60s, four young women came together as sorority sisters on a Southern campus: elegant Kate; sensitive, sensible Cecie; sexy, vibrant and richer-than-sin Ginger; and poor, hopeless, brilliant Fig. At Nag’s Head, North Carolina, over the course of two idyllic spring breaks, their bonds of friendship were strengthened into something rare and powerfully binding. Now, thirty years later, they are returning to the isolated strip of barrier islands, hoping to recapture what has been lost—the love, the enthusiasm, the passion—and to finally understand what pulled them apart and cast them adrift.
