Rags Bertram is a man with a past. But he isn’t one to boast about it. A former soldier in the U.S. special forces, Rags came to the island and bought an old marina to stay off the grid and out of trouble. He’s living the good life— working on the water by day and playing on it by night, often while holding a cold beer in his hand. No one on Hideaway Isle knows about Rags’ former life until trouble suddenly finds him. Enemies with an ax to grind wish to settle a score, and they don’t care who they hurt in the process. As the danger escalates and Rags is forced to face it head on, he must use his training to save his friends and neighbors, before it’s too late. Will Rags realize the seriousness of the threat in time? Will he have the courage to turn back to his old way of doing things? And who will become a casualty and take the fall? The Man at Nimbus Marina is a gorgeously gripping, deep and suspense-filled novel that explores the measures of responsibility, the gift of heroism, and the weight of honor.

"Marina Warner begins with the gospels, noting the slight allusions to Mary, and the curious confusions between the two women of that name. She points out the falsities, fables and manifest fabrications that have shaped mariolatry. This intriguing and intelligent book is an attempt to explain the origins, growth, appeal and persistence of the Virgin's cult. The narrative is a rich, allusive tapestry set in a framework of theological commentary." -New Society

Both of these men and their comrades will have to seek the truth while combating the machinations of a secret elite who will stop at nothing to achieve their malevolent goals.

For many Nova Scotians the name Jerome is synonymous with Maritime mystery, much like Oak Island, the Marie Celeste, or the Shag Harbour UFO crash. Jerome was the name given to the nearly dead, legless stranger who washed up on a Digby Neck beach in 1863. During the next fifty years, Jerome spoke only a few words and never revealed his identity. Author Fraser Mooney Jr. embarked on a ten-year investigation to find the remarkable truth about Jerome. Using newspaper articles, historic documents, and interviews, Mooney explores and dispels the myths that have long been associated with Jerome and provides amazing detail about his life on Digby Neck. He takes us through Jerome's life-from his appearance on the beach, through the time he spent living with a number of families in the region, to his death. Most importantly, Mooney discovers the truth behind the identity of the anonymous, mutilated man who took his secret to the grave. Including photos of Jerome, the beach where he was discovered, and those who knew him, Jerome is an incredibly well researched, intriguing book that will appeal to readers who enjoy Maritime mysteries and historical non-fiction.

The story is an imaginative and spirited narrative embracing both diversity and universality. Set in small-town America, the novel's main characters, six Russian newcomers, provide a fresh perspective on a close-knit college community. Two couples, one child, and a single woman make up the core group. The story follows them and offers to the reader the unique opportunity to explore not only the surface differences between Russian and American lifestyles, but the more profound similarities. Uncertainty, infidelity, and betrayal plague both the immigrants and their fellow townsfolk, but such universal redeemers as love, family, and friendship are the fundamental ties that bind. Narrowed to a specific fourteen-month time frame, but enhanced with flashbacks and epilogue, the novel shows everyday life in both countries. Jealousies, lusts, and misdemeanors (and even organized crime!) have their place, as do finer passions for truth, learning, love, and simple neighborliness. The novel is, by turns, tragic and heart-warming, passionate and instructive, but always, and ultimately, hope-filled.

Annie Langley moved south for a slower pace and warmer weather that would sooth her New York bones. Little did she know just how intensely the island would take hold of her. Inadvertently caught up in a neighbor’s drama shortly after moving into her new home, Annie finds herself in the right place at the right time to stop a murder from happening. But she soon learns the harrowing event isn’t the only such save that’s expected. When the sparking Florida sea begins to reliably predict Annie’s days— delivering tiny pieces of polished seaglass in reds when she’ll be angry or frustrated, blues when she’ll be sad, and greens when she’ll be joyous— she’s made to take notice and to reckon with whatever force has her in its grips. Will Annie find the courage to remain open to unexpected experiences and opportunities? Will the past she’d hoped to escape resurface? And will her own life change beyond recognition in the process?
