Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silver Medal Florida Book Awards NonfictionIn the early 20th century, Bertha Palmer was one of the best-known and wealthiest women in America. She was an art collector, women's rights advocate, businesswoman, owner of Chicago's Palmer House Hotel, and had elegant homes in Chicago, Paris, and London. In 1910 she traveled to the small and rough settlement called Sarasota on the west coast of Florida. For some reason, she decided to spend much of each year for the rest of her life on one of America's last frontiers, investing in cattle and farming, creating communities out of marshlands, pine forests, and tropical jungles. The society queen and social reform advocate excelled as a frontier entrepreneur, just as she had in every other endeavor in her life. She managed to make a good deal of money and to change Sarasota forever.

Book excerpt: Praise for Patrick Quinlan: “A shocking, violent read, jam-packed with action and a cast of incredible characters” -- Independent Weekly (Australia) “A superb debut. A great crime novel. Brilliant is the word” -- Independent on Sunday * * * Susan Jones is dead, and yet alive. Susan is a former robotics scientist for Suncoast Cybernetics, who was murdered by the company. Her awareness is inside Number Nine, the incredible ninth generation prototype of Suncoast’s immensely successful Sexbot line of robotic companions - which Susan herself invented. Number Nine is on the run with Mr. Blue, the corporate assassin who killed Susan Jones. After a blood-soaked confrontation with militarized Suncoast security forces on the docks in Key West, Blue and Nine escape to Cuba. Suncoast CEO Howard Neale believes mind downloading confers immortality, and will be worth hundreds of billions of dollars to the company. Meanwhile company Chairman James Walsh is dying of cancer and wants to use the technology to save himself. They both need Number Nine to come back, and will stop at nothing to make her do so - including kidnapping her mother. Suncoast scientist Ravi Kapoor has invented the ultimate artificially intelligent home companion - a device he calls God. Howard wants Ravi to take over the mind downloading project in Susan’s absence - rushing straight to human trials with violent convicts at a secret maximum security prison in the remote scrub desert of southwest Texas. Ravi just wants to spend his time developing God. But God has other plans. Mr. Blue and Number Nine are on a collision course with Howard, Suncoast Cybernetics and now Eris - a Sexbot with the downloaded mind of a white supremacist previously on Death Row. A high-tech corporation becoming a law unto itself. Killer robots designed to look and act like small children. A sociopathic artificial intelligence who believes the time of humans is reaching its end. And a Sexbot harboring the awareness of an amoral killer set loose to run amok. Nine Lives is the sequel to Sexbot, by Patrick Quinlan. It’s a fast-paced, sexy, dystopian adventure, with twists, turns and shocking surprises. * * * Praise for Patrick Quinlan: “A turbo-charged tour de force.” -- Port City Life “A fast-paced thriller...the story moves at warp speed, capped by a cinematic chase...before ending in spectacular fashion.” -- Los Angeles Times “Tightly plotted, confidently written and very hip” -- Sunday Observer
