A HURRICANE BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER Heiress Patricia Cargill was out to prove she was more than just a big bank account. Running Texas Rescue and Relief gives her the greatest satisfaction she could imagine. Until she meets volunteer Luke Waterson. He's a little younger, a little brasher and a lot more dangerous than anyone she's dated. He could be everything she needs. A STORM OF EMOTIONS COULD TEAR THEM APART An unexpected change of fortune, however, reveals Luke is more than just a nomadic cowboy. Falling for a millionaire rancher, especially one who keeps secrets, was not in her plans. But committing to a man who sees her as a desirable woman, not dollar signs, could be worth making an exception to this rule.

With surprising tales of vicious mutineers, imperial riches, and high-seas intrigue, Black Flags, Blue Waters is “rumbustious enough for the adventure-hungry” (Peter Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle). Set against the backdrop of the Age of Exploration, Black Flags, Blue Waters reveals the surprising history of American piracy’s “Golden Age” - spanning the late 1600s through the early 1700s - when lawless pirates plied the coastal waters of North America and beyond. “Deftly blending scholarship and drama” (Richard Zacks), best-selling author Eric Jay Dolin illustrates how American colonists at first supported these outrageous pirates in an early display of solidarity against the Crown, and then violently opposed them. Through engrossing episodes of roguish glamour and extreme brutality, Dolin depicts the star pirates of this period, among them the towering Blackbeard, the ill-fated Captain Kidd, and sadistic Edward Low, who delighted in torturing his prey. Upending popular misconceptions and cartoonish stereotypes, Black Flags, Blue Waters is a “tour de force history” (Michael Pierce, Midwestern Rewind) of the seafaring outlaws whose raids reflect the precarious nature of American colonial life.

Parallel worlds, unsolved family secrets, evil spirits, alien matter, witchcraft and magic, cursed places, visions beyond the human mind – Lovecraft's world of fiction is not only filled with Cthulhu myths. His universe is inhabited by other unknown and unfathomable creatures that come from the depths of forests, impassable swamps, deep caves, mysterious dungeons and even other times and dimensions, which can be accidentally entered by opening a window in the attic. Lovecraft wrote one of his first stories, "The Beast in the Cave," when he was only 14 years old. Short story "The Color Out of Space" the author considered one of his best works. The original plots of Lovecraft's mystical stories became the basis for popular songs, movies, and computer games. The famous writer Stephen King considers Howard Lovecraft his inspiration. "The Colour Out of Space" appeared in the September 1927 edition of Hugo Gernsback's science fiction magazine Amazing Stories. The story revolves around the area known as the "blasted heath" near the fictional town of Arkham, Massachusetts. Many years ago a meteorite crashed there, poisoning every living being nearby; vegetation grows large but foul-tasting, animals are driven mad and deformed into grotesque shapes, and the people go insane or die one by one.
