Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swiimming in Circles Is Better Than Drowning chronicles the story of a less-than graceful, tragicomic transformation from privileged daughter of her "perfect" 1950's family to middle-aged wife, mother and daughter. This book will engage you from the beginning by revealing rmemories. from childhood and adolescence,wriitten about in "Fitting In," "My 15 Minutes of Fame" and "The Train Station." The author's marriage and family life is portrayed in "None Other Than Motherhood" and "The Other Side of the Waiting Room". Midlife substance abuse interrupts the good life where the works turn intense and deeply emotional with "Circling the Drain" and "To and Fro." Our heroine begins her recomvery from her desolation with a lot of help, hence the poem, "Celebration." More of her humerous side is shown in a witty, tongue-in-cheek observation, "The Virgin Commute." Regained spirit and hope are evident in final chapters with "Increasing Fits of Happiness" and her ending, "My Obit." This book can offer solace and hope to some who have suffered or are still suffering from alcohol abuse and/or depression. Anyone who has lived with or has known the pain of watching one who lives an abusive lifestyle will relate to this story. They may also gain a better understanding of how we think and survive by planning every move around our addictions. In an imaginative memoir style, the mingling of light and serious essays along with a few poems provokes reflections, a few chuckles and maybe a few fond memories for the reader. Lee says, " I have dogpaddled through the deep end of life, but now I know it doesn't matter if don't get points for style. I am happy I am able to keep finally swim to shore and remain on solid ground--most of the time!"

Book excerpt: “A fast, fun read for fans of Foster’s fantastic alien worlds . . . Driven by political intrigue and wilderness adventure, this is SF of noble vintage.”—Booklist Fluva, the Drowning World, is a rain-drenched planet on the fringes of the Commonwealth whose indigenous species, the warlike Sakuntala, and its immigrant species, the hardworking Deyzara, stand on the brink of civil war. The wettest place on Fluva is Viisiiviisii, an immense jungle thriving with exotic plants and deadly predators. Endless rains have made the jungle a treasure trove of rare and valuable botanicals. A man can get rich there. Or die trying. Bio-prospector Shadrach Hasselemoga has come to seek his fortune—if he survives the terrain once his sabotaged ship goes down. When a Sakuntala and a Deyzara are dispatched to rescue the unfortunate soul, their ship crashes, too. Now, in order to survive, the three unlikely allies must do something that no one has ever done before: escape the Viisiiviisii before it consumes them. . . . “[A] rousing SF adventure packed with action, intriguing human and alien characters, and a message of strength through diversity.”—Library Journal “Surefire entertainment . . . The author’s mastery of his exotic setting cannot be denied.”—Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: Arthur Upfield is known internationally for his crime novels featuring Bony, the Aboriginal Detective. In these thirteen stories written for Walkabout magazine between 1934 and 1949 and published in book form for the first time, readers will travel well beyond the cities, aided by maps and original photographs - through Cooper's Creek, visiting Lake Frome in South Australia, patrol the rabbit-proof fence in the West, pearling in Broome or go angling for Swordfish at Bermagui. Many of these stories give colour and detail to his more celebrated novels using the same settings as his crime novels. Another describes the Australian Geographical Society's 5000 mile venture from Perth to the Kimberleys and back, which was led by Upfield in 1948. Truly a book to remind us of the "walkabout" - a journey (originally on foot) undertaken by the Australian Aboriginal in order to live in the traditional manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Olivia Duncan lives a boring, ordinary life. She is home-schooled along with her best friend Conner. Her social activities are limited to Conner, and his grandmother, Gerdie- who just happens to be their teacher. Her father died before she even got to know him. Her single mother, Ann Marie, is the local doctor and has no desire to have a life outside of the clinic. Her worst fears come to light, when she hears screams and wails that wake her from her sleep. When she goes to investigate the noises, she comes across a fishing boat at the source of the sounds. Poachers are thick in this area of the bay, and she doesn't have to guess what these men are up to out here, in the middle of the night. Olivia and her best friend, Conner, come across a bloody scene the next day while out for a walk. She knows where the blood came from, and as she describes the scene to him, a fear bubbles up inside of her. Olivia doesn't ask the question that's been burning in her mind. Conner and his family have been in the fishing business for over three generations. They supply fresh sea food to the local restaurants in town, but they also kill larger game for profit. When an abandoned beluga appears while Olivia is sitting on the dock, they both find a friendship worth fighting for. The friendship that they share over the next three years is filled with laughter, fun, amazement and danger. When Olivia is forced to move, she must leave all hope behind of ever seeing the beluga again. Never, in her wildest dreams did she think that the beluga could find her once more. When the beluga appears with her new pod, Olivia realizes that this is her second chance. She calls in a specialist to help her as she fights to keep them all safe and alive. Olivia Duncan is an ordinary girl, who lives an ordinary life, but finds the chance to save an extraordinary gift.
