Book excerpt: It is the '70s, a time of cosmic, sometimes alarming, optimism, which could justify all manner of scientific, and not so scientific, investigations. In such a transcendent spirit, Peter Tompkins surprises both his wife and son by introducing into the household a second mate, a Manhattan socialite named Betty. And, in 1974, he moves to Bimini, with Ptolemy in tow, to search for the lost continent of Atlantis.

Book excerpt: Island Fever chronicles a lifetime of adventure from a casual South Florida of the early 1930s to a Bahamian Island retirement almost eighty years later, with exciting and amusing stops along the way. Charlie Pfluger describes his life journey, including his stint in the US Air Force in the Philippines and North Africa during the Korean War. After his tour of duty, he assumed station manager duties for Pan American Airways in the Caribbean and South America, moved on to hotel management in the Bahamian Out Islands, and had other assorted misadventures, professional and otherwise. He was blessed with a caring mother, and he had the good fortune, through no special thought or planning, to have three talented sons-Tom, an architect; Paul, an orthopedic surgeon; and Chris, a real estate manager. They are all educated and married with wonderful wives, and have provided Charlie with several lovely grandchildren. Good fortune also smiled with three wonderful step-daughters and their families, who he cherishes as his own. His has been an incredible life. Sometimes it was fun; sometimes it was disappointing-but all in all, it was an amazing ride!

Book excerpt: Once again Nicole Jordan thrills and enchants with this fabulously seductive Regency romance, the next installment in the Paradise series. She is the woman of his dreams . . . and he will pay any price to possess her. From the moment he met the lovely Lady Eve, soldier of fortune Alex Ryder set his sights on winning the spirited beauty. But fate intervened, making Eve another man’s wife then a widow. Now, despite Eve’s ardent vow never to marry again, Ryder aims to use every seductive weapon in his arsenal to woo her. A renowned matchmaker for the ton, Eve defies Ryder’s wicked allure but cannot resist his challenge to find him a suitable bride–never dreaming that she is the only woman he will ever desire for his bride, or that his breathtaking sensuality will awaken her to soul-searing passion. But as their delicious mating dance begins, an assailant threatens Eve’s life. Now Ryder must protect Eve while striving to convince his beloved that he alone is her perfect match in the tantalizing game of love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "While representing the best of human endeavor, works of art have become ordinary features of our lives, familiar and reliably present," writes Richard Teleky. "They are, however, extraordinary. So extraordinary, in fact, that in themselves they are a kind of paradise." In Ordinary Paradise, acclaimed author, critic and editor Richard Teleky considers a variety of artistic forms—from novels and poems to paintings and sculptures to movies and musical compositions—in celebration of the creative achievements that surround us and affect our daily lives. He examines, as well, some of the challenges and tensions in any artist’s life. The essays in Ordinary Paradise challenge conventional wisdom and exemplify a dynamic and lively critical approach, pointing out troubling trends in contemporary appreciation of art and culture. They reveal the rewarding complexities of the demanding art of translation, the nostalgic power of re-reading in provoking self-assessment, and the fraught connection between language, silence and identity as they relate to marginalized voices. Teleky immerses himself into ideas of truth, beauty and humanity, and in so doing, provides a compelling exemplar for engaging with contemporary culture and learning the innumerable lessons that artistic accomplishments have to teach us.
