Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you interested in a minimalist lifestyle? Do you long to give up the rat race and truly live? Do you long for the open sea, but are daunted by the prospect of buying a boat and just going? If you answered 'Yes' to any question, then this book is for you. With real world examples, 'Sell Up and Sail Away' will lead you through the ups and downs of living your dream, giving it up, and then spending the next two decades trying to recapture it. Along the way important questions are asked: What is it that draws us to the ocean? What are the emotional and psychological drivers for those afflicted with the cruising bug? And how the hell do you tie a bowline? Take a journey with the author as he finally learns to balance the needs of family, career and society against his dream of the sea.

Book excerpt: A mother and her three children struggle to survive on the most shocking vacation of their lives. James Patterson, America's #1 bestselling thriller writer, presents his most suspenseful, explosive tale ever. Only an hour out of port, the Dunne family's summer getaway to paradise is already turning into the trip from hell. The three children are miserable, and not shy about showing it. Katherine Dunne had hoped this vacation would bring back the togetherness they'd lost when her husband died four years earlier. Maybe if her new husband had joined them it would all have been okay. Suddenly, a disaster hits-and it's perfect. Faced with this real threat, the Dunnes rediscover the meaning of family. But this catastrophe is just a tiny taste of the true danger that lurks ahead: somewhere out there, someone wants to make sure that the Dunne family never leaves paradise alive.
