Book excerpt: Other than black and white TV, the baby boomer boys growing up in the little oak hammock east of South Florida’s everglades don’t have much to entertain them. Personal computers and the Internet are still decades away. Organized youth sports are all but non-existent in their environs. Rock and roll is king but exists only on an AM radio station and a stack of black vinyl disks.So how does a brotherhood of youngsters come of age while manufacturing adventure from an otherwise uneventful existence in the early ’60s? How do they spend their summers when girls are still mysterious, undiscovered creatures and the bicycle is the only mode of transportation? And how do they face life’s unanswered questions while anticipating their once-in-a-lifetime trip to the New York World’s Fair? Tales from the Oak Hammock chronicles the amusing answers to these questions as it recounts the misadventures—and misdemeanors—of boys who sometimes catch a glimpse of life’s meaning—but more often merely observe its puzzling complexities. They are the first generation raised by TV so they surely don’t have all the answers—but this one thing they know: Life isn’t always fair, but it’s almost always in black and white!

Book excerpt: Based on the Port St. Lucie Legend Back in the 1970s, a series of bizarre incidents occurred at what has since been known as "The Devil Tree." Beneath this ancient denizen, evil was wrought by a sick serial killer, calling upon forces most evil and dark. People were hung there ... and bodies buried there ... exhumed by the police. Overcome by superstition, some tried to cut down the tree, to no avail. Since then, it has stood in a remote section of a local park—left to its own devices—quiet in its eerie repose—until now! Bestselling psychological-thriller author Keith Rommel has imagined the whole tale anew. He's brought the tree to life and retold the tale with gory detail only possible in a fiction novel. Action-packed, with spine-tingling detail, this thriller is beyond parallel in the ground it uncovers ... one author's explanation of what may have really been said—what may have really happened—under Port St. Lucie's "Devil Tree."

Book excerpt: A surprise attack on American soil and a holy war waged under the guise of an ancient religion . . . A nation of zealots indoctrinated to hate Western Civilization and a culture ignoring reason in favor of mindless violence . . . A cabal of militarists conditioned to elect suicide as a battle strategy and celebrate death for divine reward! Headlines from today's war on terrorism? No--these were the themes of America's war with twentieth-century Japan. Joining the Navy to face these fearsome enemies, seventeen-year-old Charlie misses the action in World War II by mere days. Then, directed to occupy the former foe's homeland instead, he remains behind when the war's heroes have all returned to a welcoming nation. Working and enduring through the months, Charlie records his daily thoughts while growing to respect the Japanese people--and does his best to find adventure along the way!

This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hike for every interest and ability! Florida’s landscape is a marvel of diversity, and Central Florida is its pinnacle. Footpaths range through salt marshes, river floodplains, and along coastal dunes and beaches. Trails pass through desert-like scrub islands, jungle-like hydric hammocks, and deep, dark bayous. There’s no better way to take in this natural world than by walking it. Ranging from 1 to 43 miles in length, each hike includes mile-by-mile directions, a topographic map, and information on hike duration, mileage, and trail conditions. This new edition includes 20 new places to explore, from hidden urban gems like the Circle Bar B Ranch in Lakeland and Ponce Preserve in Daytona Beach to the quiet rural landscapes of Catfish Creek State Park and Chinsegut Hill. Old standards like Tenoroc, Disney Wilderness Preserve, and Silver River State Park have been revisited and updated to keep you informed of changes in their trail systems.

Book excerpt: It was an amiable but deceitful afternoon in the third week of December. Snow fell heavily in the windows of confectioners' shops, and Father Christmas smiled in Keats's Bazaar the fawning smile of a myth who knows himself to be exploded; but beyond these and similar efforts to remedy the forgetfulness of a careless climate, there was no sign anywhere in the Five Towns, and especially in Bursley, of the immediate approach of the season of peace, goodwill, and gluttony on earth.

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2018 JOHN BURROUGHS MEDAL FOR OUTSTANDING NATURAL HISTORY WRITING “Both a love song to trees, an exploration of their biology, and a wonderfully philosophical analysis of their role they play in human history and in modern culture.” —Science Friday The author of Sounds Wild and Broken and the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Forest Unseen visits with nature’s most magnificent networkers — trees David Haskell has won acclaim for eloquent writing and deep engagement with the natural world. Now, he brings his powers of observation to the biological networks that surround all species, including humans. Haskell repeatedly visits a dozen trees, exploring connections with people, microbes, fungi, and other plants and animals. He takes us to trees in cities (from Manhattan to Jerusalem), forests (Amazonian, North American, and boreal) and areas on the front lines of environmental change (eroding coastlines, burned mountainsides, and war zones.) In each place he shows how human history, ecology, and well-being are intimately intertwined with the lives of trees. Scientific, lyrical, and contemplative, Haskell reveals the biological connections that underpin all life. In a world beset by barriers, he reminds us that life’s substance and beauty emerge from relationship and interdependence.

Book excerpt: Jenny Salter is a sixteen-year-old girl on her way home from school one day, excited to share some good news with her grandmother, when she notices something strange: her grandmother’s house is locked and the curtains drawn. Inside, she encounters a strange and violent scene, and her grandmother—Grace Salter—is nowhere to be seen. Little does she know that her entire world is about to be turned upside-down by Vancouver’s most notorious—and elusive—psychopathic criminal: Jake Lazeer. Jake Lazeer is a thirty-five-year-old man who kills with ease and only has two things on his mind: money and the thrill of the crime. We first find him with his criminal partner, Harry, who have both forced Grace from her home, trying to get her to divulge the location of the key to her safety deposit box. When they return to her house, chaos ensues: a helpful neighbour is brutally murdered, and Jenny is also kidnapped. Jake then leads the two women on a nightmarish ride through BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, using them as hostages in order to cheat and plunder, leaving a trail of death and destruction along the way. The Vancouver City Police and Homicide Unit are hot on his trail, but no matter what happens, Jake always seems to find a way to evade and outsmart them. Will the police at last be able to detain this criminal and hold him accountable for his heinous crimes? Or will his psychopathic behaviour allow him to slip out from under the hand of justice?
