Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mystery/Romance: Stacey Christian unexpectedly runs into her ex-boyfriend, Peter Mansfield, while touring Ireland. They join forces to help solve the puzzles surrounding Faoilenn Màrrach, or Gull Castle. Stacy travels to County Mayo -- to Belderrig, a little fishing village on the coast. Peter joins her, and together they confront Peter's formidable great-aunt Katherine O'Flannery, a reclusive woman feared by the locals. Finding herself implacably installed in Aunt Katherine's eerie fortress, Stacey becomes obsessed with the castle's disturbing legends. Peter is put to work in his capacity as banker, sorting out the financial records for his aunt. This leaves Stacey to follow her own leads to solving the mystery of the ghost that walks the halls of Gull Castle. Having to parry the attentions of the castle's handsome but disturbing horse handler, Liam Glenshaw, avoid the dark jealousy of Glenshaw's scorned girlfriend, Margaret, and side-step the frightening old gate-keeper, Jimmy, Stacy soon finds herself in over her head. With help from locals, and especially a young boy named Danny, she uncovers a tangle of intrigue that goes deeper, and into much more dangerous territory, than she'd expected. Faced with murder and betrayal, both Stacy and Peter suddenly find themselves in a predicament that neither could have imagined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Return of the Birds - Terror from the sky! What if I told you all the beautiful birds that we love and feed suddenly changed and began to feed on us?It happened once in a sleepy resort town in Northern California called Bodega Bay. Now more than 55 years later, it begins again. But it is far worse this time. Species of birds including not just crows and sea gulls, but hawks, eagles and vultures have joined the invasion.What caused this? Why is it happening? Tory McKnight, a student of ornithology from UCSD becomes swept up in a nightmare from her beloved birds, and must try to solve the mystery before the whole town gets killed and a nationwide pandemic ensues. This Hitchcock-style suspense thriller was inspired by the movie “The Birds,” and the short story from Daphne du Maurier. Return of the Birds will have you searching the skies, and both scared to read more but unable to put it down. Hurry, enjoy this before they gather again. Look for the sequel Revenge of the Birds Interview with the author: Return of the Birds and Revenge of the Birds are very distinctive from your other books, why did you write them? I was always intrigued by the movie “The Birds” but felt too many questions were left unanswered. It niggled at me all my life, especially every time I watched the movie. I had to write the next chapters to the original story. Do you answer all the questions from the movie “The Birds?” Most of the questions get addressed, but in so doing more questions and concerns arise. There remains a good deal of suspense throughout the book and beyond. It resulted in me writing the sequel, Revenge of the Birds. Why do readers enjoy these books? If they love a classic cliffhanger or good thrillers they enjoy these books. They are longer than the short stories they were inspired by, but then both novels have extra twists and turns that add to the storyline and keep the suspense flowing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eagerly awaited guide offers the most comprehensive treatment ever published on the gulls of Europe, Asia and North America. A total of 43 species is treated, and every species is described in considerable detail, with a full description of each plumage and racial variation. Gulls are intelligent, versatile, opportunistic, and ecological generalists. As such, they exploit a variety of habitats, both coastal and inland, take a wide range of food, and are often extremely abundant. They are also great wanderers, with several American species regularly appearing in Western Europe and vice versa. As well as identification criteria, this book includes an up-to-date assessment of the range and status of every species, together with information on patterns of vagrancy. This important guide is published at a critical time in the development of dull taxonomy. The large, white-headed forms occurring in the region comprise a superspecies complex, with the precise relationships between the various components still under considerable debate. A thorough illustrative and textual treatment of the group is much needed, and this book provided the most complete overview of the complex. The text is complemented not only by superb colour paintings by Hans Larrson, but also by a large selection of colour photographs, sourced from some of the finest bird photographers in the world. This is the essential reference to a fascinating and endlessly challenging group of birds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roxanne Schinas has always had a passion for wildlife. Long before she was old enough to read of Gerald Durrell's adventures she was emulating them, with pets ranging from rabbits and half-tame hedgehogs to toads, sticklebacks, locusts, and a crayfish. In the spring of 2008, while her family were cruising in southern Spain, Roxanne decided to make a survey of the seagull colony on an uninhabited island. The project began with a hand-drawn map on which the nests were plotted. Phase two was to have consisted in the study of the young birds growing up on the island, but when a local nature warden told her that most of the chicks would die, Roxanne found that she had a perfect excuse for "rescuing" two and bringing them home. Mother was not impressed... but the deed was done, and now the young naturalist had the opportunity to study, intimately, the development of Larus Cachinanns, the yellow-legged gull. Two Gulls and a Girl is Roxanne's record of events in the seagull colony and amongst her two hand-reared birds. Contains 92 black-and-white photos and illustrations. Foreword by Richard Williamson.

Book excerpt: The term "Boston Brahmins" refers to a class of wealthy, educated, elite members of Boston society. In this world one does what one is expected to do, and for one certain young woman, who has thus far fulfilled every one of the requirements expected of her, there remains the most important requirement marriage. Rebecca Peabody Cunningham is a tall beauty -- wealthy, educated, talented and a Boston Brahim of the first order; Becky Cunningham is the it girl. Rebeccas life is on a course that this socially elite world expects her to take without question. But Beckys internal thoughts and desires cause her life to veer off that course like an errant rocket! Shes making all the wrong moves or is she? The gorgeous and virginal Rebecca Cunningham is in the midst of planning her wedding to fellow Brahmin, Derek Sanderson. Derek is handsome and desirable and the perfect match; marrying Derek will fulfill all the goals that both of their upper crust families have for the two of them, and is set to be the social event of the season. But Becky has a dream in her heart that she is unable to shake. It centers on a sensual and mysterious man she has seen only occasionally in her life, whom she names Chandler. He has stolen her heart and invaded her wildest sexual fantasies. For the first time in her life, confident and steady Rebecca Peabody Cunningham is at odds with Becky, and has a life decision to make -- will she follow her expected plan of marriage to Derek Sanderson, or follow her shaky heart and unrelenting desires? The day of the wedding has arrived; the social elite are in the pews the pressure is on for Becky. Will fate step in and change the course of her life or is it all about a well-laid plan hatched by one free-spirited Ms. Jane Potter, the very best friend a girl can have? The marriage is scuttled and the powerful family patriarch Eliot Sanderson declares, You have publicly insulted and embarrassed this entire family, and that, young lady, is something we will neither forgive nor forget. The decision that Becky Cunningham makes on this fateful day leads her on an unforgettable adventure. We travel with her, experiencing a tumultuous journey of twists and turns -- as money, power and intrigue lead to a chain of events that change her life forever, leading her to a most unexpected and wonderful life and leaving us with a valuable lesson to always follow your heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although they are familiar and amusing characters, gulls are frequently dismissed as common "parking lot" birds or because their diverse species can be hard to identify. Both assumptions disregard the beauty and grace of gulls, which are among the most approachable of North America's birds. This photographic field guide provides a user-friendly introduction to the plumages of 27 North American gull species in different stages of maturity. Ranging in size from the dove-like Little Gull to the eagle-like Great Black-backed Gull, their behavior and habitats are equally varied. With more than 500 color photos, detailed captions, and fold-out comparison guides, this book allows readers to better appreciate these charismatic birds by learning shortcuts for easy identification in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early years of this century a Scottish doctor speculated on the evolutionary origin of human tears. It seemed to him that with the increase in brain size and cognitive powers of our early ancestors many events in the struggle for existence would be just too distressing to observe. How comforting then, for the mother, distraught by the sight of her child being devoured by a lion, to cloud her vision with a flood of tears! Just so, though if the good doctor had pondered further, the following picture might have occurred to him, comfortable in his speculative armchair, and given him some pause for thought. ' ~ . . . . ~ . . ~ ~ . . •. . u" . . , ~- . ' _ . . . . . . . vii viii SERIES EDITOR'S FOREWORD These stories do not, of course, get us very far in understanding the evolution of tears or anything else, but they do remind us how far the study of behavioural adaptation has come this century. This is, in fact, an exciting time for students of behaviour. The last twenty years have seen a great advance in the theoretical armoury for tackling questions of behavioural evolution and adaptation, and a parallel expansion in empirical studies, particularly in the field. The concepts of inclusive fitness and the evolutionarily stable strategy, for example, have helped to explain major features of social behaviour and have generated entirely new questions and predictions for the field worker to examine.
