Book excerpt: Chosen as a Book of the Year by Sebastian Barry, Martina Devlin and Peter Cunningham Winner of the Prix Gens de Mer, 2022 Hector and Bolivar set sail from their South American fishing village on what they believe to be a routine expedition. But then a devastating storm casts them adrift in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. With no means of contacting the outside world and no sign of rescue, their only hope lies with one another. Both men must confront the truth about themselves, and the regrets that they have spent a lifetime trying to forget, if they are to survive. Part gripping story of resilience, part fearless existential parable, Beyond the Sea is a meditation on what it means to be human, in a world that pushes us to the brink.

Book excerpt: A comprehensive selection of poems and essays spanning the career of one of China's most celebrated 20th-century poets."You can write poetry and then again you can't. It comes into this world of its own accord, not by the will of the poet."Gu Cheng Gu Cheng (1956-1993) is one of China's most celebrated contemporary poets. His early death ended a literary career that was influenced by the Cultural Revolution and that reawakened the lyricism of Chinese poets during the 1980s. Offering a unique blend of brooding imagism and political innuendo, Gu Cheng's poetry traces complex changes in the poet's lifefamilial, psychological, culturaland also radiates an innocence and a touching melancholy. His poetry began on the farms in Shandong province where his parents were exiled during the Cultural Revolution, and ended on a small island in New Zealand where he took up a Thoreau-like existence before his tragic suicide. His poem "One Generation" became emblematic for the generation coming of age in China in the '60s and '70s. Here for the first time is poetry based on the poet's own personal selections from his work, Sea Basket Blue. There are also prose works, including excerpts of Gu Cheng's novel Ying'er, plus a selection of his essays.

Book excerpt: Two hot guys. One desert island. Troy Tanner walks out on his boy band’s world tour rather than watching his little brother snort his life away. Screw it. He’ll take a private jet home and figure out his life away from the spotlight. But Troy doesn’t make it home. The plane crashes on a jungle island in the South Pacific. Forget dodging the paparazzi—now Troy’s desperate for food and water. The turquoise ocean and white sand beach looks like paradise, but danger lurks everywhere. Thank God the pilot survived too. At least Troy’s not alone. He has Brian. Brian’s smart and brave and strong. He doesn’t care that Troy’s famous. Brian’s real. As days turn into weeks with no sign of rescue, Troy and Brian rely on each other. They make each other laugh despite being stranded. They go from strangers to friends. What happens when they want more? Although he and Brian both identify as straight, their growing desire burns hotter than the tropical sun. If they explore their sexuality a thousand miles from anything or anyone, can their newfound love survive in the real world if they're finally rescued? This slow-burn LGBT romance from Keira Andrews features bisexual awakening, scorching m/m first times, an age gap, and of course a happy ending.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Ty McCormick, winner of the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, an epic and timeless story of a family in search of safety, security, and a place to call home. When Asad Hussein was growing up in the world’s largest refugee camp, nearly every aspect of life revolved around getting to America—a distant land where anything was possible. Thousands of displaced families like his were whisked away to the United States in the mid-2000s, leaving the dusty encampment in northeastern Kenya for new lives in suburban America. When Asad was nine, his older sister Maryan was resettled in Arizona, but Asad, his parents, and his other siblings were left behind. In the years they waited to join her, Asad found refuge in dog-eared novels donated by American charities, many of them written by immigrants who had come to the United States from poor and war-torn countries. Maryan nourished his dreams of someday writing such novels, but it would be another fourteen years before he set foot in America. The story of Asad, Maryan, and their family’s escape from Dadaab refugee camp is one of perseverance in the face of overwhelming adversity. It is also a story of happenstance, of long odds and impossibly good luck, and of uncommon generosity. In a world where too many young men are forced to make dangerous sea crossings in search of work, are recruited into extremist groups, and die at the hands of brutal security forces, Asad not only made it to the United States to join Maryan, but won a scholarship to study literature at Princeton—the first person born in Dadaab ever admitted to the prestigious university. Beyond the Sand and Sea is an extraordinary and inspiring book for anyone searching for pinpricks of light in the darkness. Meticulously reported over three years, it reveals the strength of a family of Somali refugees who never lost faith in America—and exposes the broken refugee resettlement system that kept that family trapped for more than two decades and has turned millions into permanent exiles.

Book excerpt: "The Sea Dreams It Is the Sky is moving and memorable, one of the novellas of the year." -- Locus Magazine They had escaped their country, but they couldn’t escape the past Having lost both her home and family to a brutal dictatorship, Isabel has fled to Spain, where she watches young, bronzed beauties and tries to forget the horrors that lie in her homeland. Shadowing her always, attired in rumpled linen suits and an eyepatch, is “The Eye,” a fellow ex-pat and poet with a notorious reputation. An unlikely friendship blossoms, a kinship of shared grief. Then The Eye receives a mysterious note and suddenly returns home, his fate uncertain. Left with the keys to The Eye’s apartment, Isabel finds two of his secret manuscripts: a halting translation of an ancient, profane work, and an evocative testament of his capture during the revolution. Both texts bear disturbing images of blood and torture, and the more Isabel reads the more she feels the inexplicable compulsion to go home. It means a journey deep into a country torn by war, still ruled by a violent regime, but the idea of finding The Eye becomes ineluctable. Isabel feels the manuscripts pushing her to go. Her country is lost, and now her only friend is lost, too. What must she give to get them back? In the end, she has only herself left to sacrifice. THE SEA DREAMS IT IS THE SKY asks: How does someone simply give up their home...especially when their home won’t let them?

Book excerpt: What the Wild West was for America in the 19th century, Outremer - Beyond the Sea - was to Europe in the 12th: the wild east, land of opportunity, of warlike adventure, and of terror. The Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem lasted from 1100 to 1187. In that time European noblemen and women came here to do penance in war against the "infidels", to escape the law in their homeland, mostly to seek their fortune. Among the immigrants were also paupers. Niall, a young fugitive from England, was one of those. Our story tells of his rise from destitution to nobility: a major baron in the Kingdom. Niall's sons, Guillaume and Enguerrand, carry the story to its end through rivalry to reconciliation on the eve of the fateful Battle of Hattin, against turmoil, war and intrigue in the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

Book excerpt: Reduced to a state of grief and loss of direction, Annie Harrison is offered an opportunity to board her grandfather's lavish sailing vessel, the Porto Banus, in Marbella, Spain, and begin an international adventure to restore her confidence and sense of balance. Along the way, Annie encounters two dashing suitors, a brave and romantic Spanish matador and a mesmerizing and generous Moroccan businessman. Her gifted ability to mesh architectural style with layers of historical elements is enhanced by the places she visits, and her inner horizons are expanded by the new friends she makes. However, intrigue surfaces with the reappearance of her father, serving in the British secret service, after two years missing, and Annie questions who she can trust to save her father. And to find true happiness, Annie must learn to conquer her fear. The story is so fabulous, found myself crying and laughing during various points in the story! It's so awesome to be able to see pictures of the actual people who were written about in the story! Nina, keep them coming! -Craig Williams I highly recommend this book. I was privileged to be one of the first to read this book when it was in it infancy. Only getting a few chapters at a time as they were being written all I could say was more, more, more... I was so caught up in the travel, the culture, romance and mystery. I felt like I was on the journey experiencing each country, food, and fashion with Annie. Now that it has all come together it is an amazing book filled with inspiration. Can't wait to have the finished book in hand and a sequel! -Bonnie Lins "Beyond the Sea" by Nina Purtee is a must read! It is a novel full of travel, adventure, friendship, romance and choices! I was amazed by the beautiful places Annie travels to, the friends she makes along her journey and the many different cultures she experiences. Nina's writing is influenced by her own love of travel and adventure. Her writing style is so descriptive I felt like I was right there with Annie enjoying a fabulous dinner, sightseeing or giggling with her while shopping in Paris! I found myself swept away in the excitement of Annie's journey and I can't wait for the sequel so I can find out what happens next! -Lisa Dunn Nina Purtee's novel "Beyond the Sea" is written in such a manner and style of descriptiveness and detail that it makes the reader feel as if they're actually right there experiencing it and not just reading it. You'll find many twists and turns as you turn the pages, all of which will keep you captivated that you will not want interruptions that would delay you from finding out what is next going to happen. I'm truly hoping Nina will write a sequel to this novel and look forward to reading all of her books in the future. -Michele Ryder Nina Purtee's passion for travel is what makes her novel so moving. It is a captivating blend of romance, travel, personal growth, intrigue and more. I'm excited to see its official publication in February 2023. -Ana Hernandez "Beyond the Sea" is such a wonderful adventure, so beautifully written by Nina Purtee. As I read along, I feel like I am traveling with Annie to exotic destinations and joining her in her love of life and adventure. The mix of new destinations, friends, beautiful scenery and history, love of sailing, and the excitement, with such fun characters make us feel we are part of her journey. Looking forward for the adventure to continue and for more books to enjoy. -Mickie Schuerger The book is exciting, heart wrenching, action packed, and adventurous. It makes you have empathy and fall in love with the characters from the start. It is vividly descriptive creating imagery awakening all your senses while reading. I would love to follow Annie's path of travels even though I felt like I was there. -Charlotte Kennedy

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A performer who rivaled Sinatra, Bobby Darin rose from dire poverty to become one of the biggest stars of his generation. Dogged by chronic illness, he knew that time was not on his side, and so, in a career full of dizzying twists and turns, he did it all, moving from teen idol to Vegas song-and-dance man, from hipster to folkie and back. In Roman Candle, David Evanier offers a multilayered portrait of this brash, gifted artist, including the dark side of his celebrated marriage to America's sweetheart, Sandra Dee, and the incredible family secret that tore him apart at the end. "Compelling and revealing ... Roman Candle gives us the many lives of one of the great entertainers of all time, whose flame was extinguished way too soon." — Kevin Spacey "Informed by scores of interviews with Darin's friends and associates and written in no-nonsense, just-the-facts prose, Evanier's book paints a picture of a ruthlessly ambitious musician.... Sinatra may have had the bragging rights to 'My Way,' but Darin lived out the lyrics." — Publishers Weekly "This biography percolates with cool.... [Evanier has] written a book so charged with intimacy, so heartbreakingly ebullient with life, that you feel that any moment the pages are about to snap their fingers and break into song." — Caroline Leavitt, The Boston Globe "Darin has been the subject of several books; most notable is this new examination of the singer's life and work by David Evanier.... Evanier's portrait, true to its title, is one of a bright talent that soared quickly and erupted in a flash of glory." — David Hajdu, The Atlantic Monthly "Music fans are liable to be surprised by the Bobby Darin mania sparked by Kevin Spacey's sunny new film biography. For the slightly darker look at Darin, hole up for the holidays with Roman Candle, the latest book about Darin's rollercoaster life." — Janet Maslin, "Top Ten list of Books for Gifts" (2004), The New York Times
