Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continue the Stranded in Getaway Bay Romance series by USA Today bestseller Elana Johnson! THE SAND BAR MISSTEP features a billionaire cowboy hero who put out an Internet ad for a date and the woman who answers him. When a storm disables his yacht, they're stuck on a tiny wisp of sand together...There's steamy-sweet kisses, clean romance, and plenty of room for you inside this found family of sisters! Read today! Tired of the dating scene, a cowboy billionaire puts up an Internet ad to find a woman to come out to a deserted island with him to see if they can make a love connection... Mason Martin has sold his cattle ranch in Texas for just over a billion dollars and traded it for Long Bar Island, a remote island a few hours away from Getaway Bay. Frustrated with the dating scene in the more populated areas of Hawaii, he puts up an ad, asking for volunteers to come live with him on his deserted island for three months. The goal? See if they can fall in love. Ivy McLaughlin has seen all three of her sisters fall in love during stressful, tragic times on deserted islands. When she hears about Mason's ad, she's intrigued. Spurred on by her real-life Legally Blonde moment, where her boyfriend breaks up with her instead of proposing, she contacts Mason. And she's the only one who does—at least Mason thinks so. He doesn't know his servers went down, only allowing Ivy's message to get through. They set out for Long Bar Island after an altercation on the dock which leaves a bad taste in Ivy's mouth. Has she just signed up for the worst three months of her life? As she and Mason live on the island, she begins to see the softer side of the tough cowboy billionaire. Maybe the next three months will be the most romantic of her life—and end in that proposal she so desperately wants. But when a storm hits their slim patch of sand in the vast ocean, their shelter is rendered roofless and the yacht they sailed out on is lifeless in the water. Will Ivy and Mason make the love connection they both want? Or will the forces of nature—and a faulty server—pull them apart?

He can successfully throw a precision pass, but he's dead in the water in matters of the heart... Quarterback Maine Fitzgerald has struck out with more women than he'd like to admit—and he doesn't even play baseball. Armed with a plan to get out of his comfort zone onboard a singles cruise, he joins the very first event: a mix and mingle. Too bad he's almost completely deaf in one ear and doesn't hear the beautiful blonde tell him her name. Orchid Stone doesn't want to be on the singles cruise. She has an eight-year-old daughter to tend to, and a job to do, and a husband to mourn. But her sisters think eight years is long enough to mourn, and she promises them she'll at least try to meet someone on the cruise. She can't help it if the meathead quarterback isn't interested. When a tsunami strikes their ship, she's forced overboard with Maine and a security guard, and they make their way to a deserted island. Desperate to get back to her daughter, Orchid will do anything to survive. She climbs rock walls, escapes from wild boars, and plucks chickens. She knows she's lucky to be washed up on an old World War II outpost, complete with an overgrown garden and a herd of wild chickens, but she needs to get home. Maine does too—but he's scared of the man he'll have to be once he leaves the island. He's sure Orchid won't want to be with him once he has to go back to the public persona of Perfect Quarterback Maine Fitzgerald. Can Orchid and Maine make things work between them when they're so different? Or will their time stranded together be all they get?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever asked yourself what is the purpose of the created universe? As we traverse field, woods, pond, creek, lake, and woods, our surroundings call out to us about the meaning of the universe. The stars, clouds, sun, trees, scrubs, ponds, lakes, seas, bays, creeks, rivers, and grasses overwhelm our senses as they were created to do. We see ourselves as infinitely small in relation to the universe. It puts us in our place as it was created to do. We feel overwhelmed with the scope of nature that surrounds us. It makes us insignificant. That is our place in creation. It pushes, points, and calls us to look beyond the creature we are and the creation in which we live. There is a huge learning curve in becoming an effective hunter, fisherman, conservationist, or water-fowler. The time it takes to learn the game sought, habitat, instinctual behavior, seasons, and movement requires much time afield. Imagine the creator of the universe is pursing you; he knows your every move, he knows where you are going to go, and what you are going to do before you do it. He purses you to love you! Psalm 8:3 says, "When I view and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon, and the stars, which you have ordained and establish. What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of earthborn man that you care for him?" This planet earth cries out every day what this universe it about: the glory and greatness of God. It is not crying out the significance of man. All of creation cries out wise, beautiful, masterful, powerful, unfathomable God. The scope and depth and breadth and height of creation is the understatement of God. It demands us to take humble ourselves before the creator and redeemer of humanity. Our place is not as God of the universe but to recognize and glorify the creator and our redeemer.

This book was released on 2012-03-04 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quicklets: Your Reading Sidekick! ABOUT THE BOOK Published in 1970, Islands in the Stream is the first of Ernest Hemingways posthumous novels. The novel was lightly edited by his widow, Mary Hemingway, and his publisher, Charles Scribner, Jr. Mary carefully points out in a note that opens the book, Beyond the routine chores of correcting spelling and punctuation, we made some cuts in the manuscript, feeling that Ernest would have surely made them himself. Hemingway began work on this massive project in 1945. The pages he wrote from then until his death in 1961 became several different novels, some posthumous, some published before his death. All are loosely connected in that they were worked on concurrently, and at times, part of the same work. Pieces were cut here and there to provide material for other books, and when finished, he produced enough text for four novels: Old Man, Islands, Across the River and into the Trees, and The Garden of Eden. MEET THE AUTHOR Ben Mitchell-Lewis is a resident of New Hampshire, but tries to spend as much time as possible traveling around New England, the country, and the world. He is a graduate of Colby College and is slowly cracking into the freelance writing game. Ben likes to get outside in any capacity (but especially to rock climb or ski), and travel/adventure writing is his favorite genre, though classic American novels are hard to beat. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK The novels protagonist is Thomas Hudson, a world famous painter. As the book opens with Part I: Bimini, the reader is introduced to Hudson and his house set on a hill in Bimini, an island in the Bahamas. The house is as much a character as Hudson, and the whole of Part I revolves around the house, with brief interludes at bars, docks, and aboard a cabin cruiser equipped for lengthy days of fishing and exploring. After an initial introduction to Hudson, the reader is familiarized with his habits, his daily life, his routines, and his staff, especially Eddy a constant companion, a good fisherman, and very attentive to Hudsons needsl. Hudson has several others always at hand to cook, clean, and mix drinks, the same people that accompany him fishing and help take care of his children. For Bimini is really about Hudsons relationship with his children the three boys, Tom, David, and Andrew, arrive in Bimini for a vacation with their father shortly after the books opening. Before they arrive, Roger Davis is brought in. He is an old, dear friend of Hudsons, a fellow expatriate, and plays a pivotal role in the rest of Part I. While Hudson and Davis drink and carouse in the days before the boys visit, Roger gets into a heated fight with a wealthy man from New York on the docks. The events of that evening are quite trying for Davis and Hudson, and they retreat to the hilltop house to sleep it off and wait for the boys. Buy a copy to keep reading!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every so often, our practical, science-dominated world is gifted with a mystic; a spirit-based, spirit-directed person. The world doesn't know how to deal with these people. They are disrespected at the very least, often bullied, sometimes drugged into submission and even institutionalized. Without recognition and support, the mystic believes there is something wrong with them. Unhealed, these individuals may abuse themselves. . . to the point that they might even consider killing themselves. . . and do so. This book chronicles the author's 40-year journey of healing and personal growth; learning to accept himself as a gifted, hypersensitive, gay mystic. Mismatched to the norms and demands of his family, home religion, peers, and society, the author was a depressed, immature, and fearful recluse for 26 years of his life. Contemplating suicide at age 21, he heard a Voice. Learning to listen and follow that Voice, the author employed a range of traditional—and untraditional—religious and spiritual thought systems. The span of "technologies" include western and eastern religions, Quakerism, Twelve Step programs, the Course in Miracles, Men's work, past life regression, and channeling (automatic writing). In a Vision, this nontheist, birthright Jew realized to his surprise that The Voice guiding him on his journey was Jesus. Hineni is an intensely personal and frank autobiography; an ethical will of how the author became a whole, human being, and what he learned and is still learning on his journey. This book can start a reader thinking about places s/he have been spiritually, as well as the places s/he might go. Hineni clearly shows that life is a journey; not a destination. That the tools and guides on that journey are personal integrity and inner guidance. And that any time or effort spent learning in any community or spiritual discipline is never a waste, because any and all efforts and understanding get incorporated in who that person is becoming. . . and we are all "becoming" until we leave the planet. The reader is encouraged—and challenged—to ask what s/he knows and believes on the basic questions of being human. . . being a spiritual being having a human experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fate of the American Revolution had yet to be decided when a remarkable 21-year-old Frenchman arrived in America. Louis-François-Bertrand, the Count of Lauberdière, belonged to an old noble family that traced its heritage back to the Crusades. His father, François-Charles-Mathieu, was musketeer of the guard of King Louis XV. More important, his uncle was General Rochambeau, the commander of all French forces in America. The Count of Lauberdière kept one of the most remarkable diaries of the entire war, and it is published here for the first time as The Road to Yorktown: The French Campaigns in the American Revolution, 1780-1783, by Louis-François-Bertrand du Pont d’Aubevoye, comte de Lauberdière, translated and edited by Norman Desmarais. Serving as aide-de-camp on General Rochambeau’s staff, the young and well-educated Lauberdière enjoyed a unique perspective of the war. He rubbed shoulders with some of the Revolution’s most important personalities (including George Washington and Lafayette), and was in the epicenter of many of the war’s momentous events. His journal covers a host of topics in remarkable detail, including descriptions of the French army’s camp in Newport, Rhode Island, the long march to Yorktown, the siege, and capture, and a fascinating examination of the people and their distinctive colonial culture. His keen eye and sharp descriptions of the Army’s daily activities and movements provide a wealth of information for inquisitive readers and historians—details found only in this diary. For example, nearly all French diaries mention the army’s arrival and landing at Newport, but only Lauberdière’s identifies exactly where it occurred. Anti-French prejudices were common, and the nephew recorded how Rochambeau dispelled them and won over the locals. Culture fascinated the young Count, who keenly observed how the colonials attempted to imitate European manners and styles, marveling at how Philadelphia adopted Parisian fashions in the brief time between his visits there. He even visited Washington’s home at Mount Vernon and made pointed comments about his wife, Martha. With its expertly crafted footnotes, maps, and illustrations, The Road to Yorktown offers a fresh and invigorating firsthand account that will satisfy even the most demanding student of the American Revolution.
