DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe heroine of Kristin Gore's bestselling inside-the-beltway romp Sammy's Hill returns, and this time the laughs are richer and the stakes are higher--at home and in the house (the White House, that is). Samantha Joyce is many things: Health care policy wonk. Hypochondriac. Lover of Japanese Fighting Fish (and of Charlie Lawton, her Washington Post reporter boyfriend). Jumper-to-conclusions. And when all these identities collide--as they do most days--the results are always unpredictable. Sammy's role as an advisor to Vice President Robert Gary (RG for short) has led her down some exciting professional paths, like when she accompanies RG on a trip to India to help open pharmaceutical supply lines, and some troubling ones--like when the president secretly asks her to plumb those lines to acquire as yet unapproved drugs for his own personal use. Her job interferes with her love life, too, after Charlie is transferred to New York for a huge story just when she's expecting a proposal, and they find that distance combines poorly with Sammy's dedication to her work and her overactive imagination. And then there's the surprising--though ego-pleasing--series of passes thrown Sammy's way, culminating in a highly embarrassing photo of a Hollywood hotshot's hand where it doesn't belong, published in the pages of Us Weekly. . . . As the dual crises in Sammy's personal and professional lives come to a head, and her ideals are put to the ultimate test, readers will be flipping pages madly, wondering what might come next. Because in Sammy's house, anything is possible.

He chronicles his story in seventy-one essays and poems which are frank and at times outrageous. His eventful and unusual romps through six continents and eighty one countries, the diversity of his career and the characters he met are amply described in this rich narrative. He talks about: Losing his virginity in a whore house in pre-Castro Havana Barely avoiding a mid-air collision when another airplane flew through his four plane formation. An atheist says a jewish prayer for the dead with his hand on one of the one hundred skulls wall mounted in a Cambodian prison. The very first piece of art work he ever did-a 24' X 6' sand cast mural for a major department store. This enticing memoir is a journey through the exciting highs and memorable adventures encountered in one hell of a lifetime.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMinister Nicodemus Dungy is learning the hard way that the life of a church fixer means there are no days off. Following the dramatic events of his last assignment, Nic has decided to take a much-needed vacation. Instead of resolving potential faith-shattering church scandals, he is spending his days on the beach enjoying a good book and an occasional swim in the ocean. He spends his nights with an elderly couple he has befriended, looking up at the stars and praying that one day Victory, a potential love interest, will join him. His vacation is cut short when a prominent pastor comes up dead at an international church conference. Despite his reluctance, Nic is offered a king's ransom to find information that can lead to the murderer. Against his better judgment, he accepts the assignment and thus sojourns into a deadly world of crime and corruption. The more he investigates the circumstances surrounding the pastor's murder, the more Nic will realize that he is in over his head. Set in a remote island in the Bahamas, No Sin in Paradise is a beautiful but deadly odyssey. Nic will encounter a secret society, a business tycoon, a drug dealer, and a voodoo priestess on his quest to uncover the truth, but will the truth come at a price that is too steep for Nic to pay?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKElinor De Wire has been writing about lighthouses and their keepers since 1972. During that time she found that hundreds of lighthouse animals wandered into her research notes and photo collection. This book is the story of all these cold-nosed, whiskered, wooly, hoofed, horned, slithery, buzzing, feathered, and finned keepers of the lights. Where else would a dog learn to ring a fogbell, a cat go swimming and catch a fish for its supper, or a parrot cuss the storm winds rattling its cage? Who other than a lightkeeper would swim a cow home, tame a baby seal, adopt an orphan alligator, send messages via carrier pigeons, or imagine mermaids coming to visit? The Lightkeepers' Menagerie gathers together animal stories from lighthouses all around the world, tales of happiness and sadness, courage and cowardice, tragedy and comedy, even absurdity. Sometimes, fur, feathers, and fins tell the best tales.
