Book excerpt: Luna Park emerged on the north end of Alki Beach during the golden age of American amusement parks. Billed as "the Nation's Greatest Playground on the Pacific Coast," the park introduced the city to a host of novel attractions. Pleasure-seekers rode shimmering horses, thundered down the roller coaster, and marveled at daredevils and sideshows. There were games to be played, prizes to be won. Thousands swam in the waters of its natatorium and twirled across the floor of its dance hall. The park's glittering nighttime display shone across the bay and arrested the attention of the city. Though open only briefly, Luna Park remains a vibrant piece of Seattle's history.

Book excerpt: Luna Park: Season I -- this is where the mystery begins. If you live or ever have lived in the greater Seattle area, this novel will captivate you and make you want to see it on the screen. Most of the novel is set in Seattle and other places in the Pacific Northwest -- Mount Rainier, Lake Tapps, the Des Moines Marina, Mercer Island, Green Lake, Alki Beach, the Tacoma Tide Flats, and of course -- Luna Park. The novel's characters either live in the Seattle area or are drawn to the Seattle area by the events in the book. More than that, however, and this is where you come in -- the characters in this novel will not be fulfilled until the reader joins them and helps them unravel the mystery of Luna Park. So jump into the book and hang around in Seattle for a while -- get to know these people! After all -- they can't live without you.

Book excerpt: When Luna Park in Coney Island, New York, opened in 1903, outdoor entertainment was dramatically changed in America & in the world. In 1905, another Luna Park opened on Cleveland's east side to rival Euclid Beach, which began operation ten years earlier. Like its east coast namesake, Luna Park, "Cleveland's Fairyland of Pleasure," dazzled visitors with a fantastic display of electric illumination & eclectic architecture.

The details of the times, mood & people associated with Luna Park are graphically captured by means of careful research, generous illustration, & good humor.
