Three mischievous Santa Barbara sailors embark on a journey to Ensenada, Mexico to take delivery of a sail boat. But before they can leave, Tom, who is captain of the vessel becomes involved in a traffic accident with the Prince of Pop Jeremy Princeton. Concerned for Tom's well being, Jeremy insists Tom accompany him to his Santa Ynez estate Tierra Bella to consult with his in-house physician. While Visiting there, Jeremy's art consultant Peter Harrison shows him two paintings, a Renoir and a Rembrandt, which have been stolen from the Swedish National Museum and which were shipped to Jeremy anonymously in a shipment of musical instruments. Also in Jeremy's possession is a mystical sphere called the Black Piper which is a mysterious and supernatural relic that at first is a godsend but later becomes a curse to the person who possesses it. Enter Joy Heather Kensington, an Interpol agent and Lynne Northland, an FBI paranormal psychologist who are assigned the Swedish National Museum case. The duo team up with a Swedish cop and a CIA agent to solve the mystery. The clues lead the group on an amazing and harrowing journey from Beirut to Stockholm to CAdiz to Ensenada where they uncover along the way some ancient mystical writings called the Emerald Tablets of Troth, a monk who knows how to save the world from Armageddon, a demon called Wegreog, and a malevolent smuggling scheme led by one of the most powerful persons in the U.S. government. Escape from Ensenada is a light-hearted tongue-in-cheek fictional adventure about three rogue sailors on a lark whose mischievous inclinations lead them into a labyrinth of extreme danger and mystical intrigue amidst the backdrop of today's contemporary political world scene.

This collection of art spans the period from 1950 to 2020. It consists of oil and water paintings; pencil, charcoal, and ink drawings and lithographs; photographs; and sculptures. There are omissions. One was the loss of some oil paintings when I moved from Chicago to Maine in 1965. They were inadvertently left in a basement storage room of our apartment building. The other time was when two or so multilithographs were given to an art retail store in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, on consignment but were never checked on again.

Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism Winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize Acclaimed for its frank and fascinating investigation of racial identity, and reissued on its ten-year anniversary, Notes from No Man’s Land begins with a series of lynchings, ends with a list of apologies, and in an unsettling new coda revisits a litany of murders that no one seems capable of solving. Eula Biss explores race in America through the experiences chronicled in these essays—teaching in a Harlem school on the morning of 9/11, reporting from an African American newspaper in San Diego, watching the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina from a college town in Iowa, and rereading Laura Ingalls Wilder in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago. What she reveals is how families, schools, communities, and our country participate in preserving white privilege. Notes from No Man’s Land is an essential portrait of America that established Biss as one of the most distinctive and inventive essayists of our time.
