Book Description
Elisha Spencer had spent the last ten years of her life balancing school and preparing for the Miss USA Pageant. Nothing could stop her from taking the crown, until disaster walked into her life. Elisha's coach, Clarence Yates fell to his knees during Elisha's rehearsal. It seemed as though his years of fast-paced pageantry work had finally caught up with him. Distraught, Elisha turns to her best friend and fellow pageant contestant, Luciana for support, only to find that Luciana has been taking prescription sleeping pills to deal with the stress of the pageant and school. Weeks before the pageant, Luciana finds out she didn't get into Juilliard as her parents planned. Unable to handle the pressure, Luciana overdoses on sleeping pills and won't come out of a coma. As Elisha searches for strength, she finds comfort in one of her professors, Eric Turner. Eric steps right in, happily comforting Elisha and even acting as her coach. The relationship quickly grows into a smothering romance. Elisha works to keep it all together, but becomes suspicious of those closest to her. She begins to wonder if Luciana's death was suicide or the perfect crime. And could it have been related to Clarence's death? In this twisted story, A Late Summer's Breeze, Elisha learns some people will do anything for love.

Book Description
Suicide Poetry is a short novel exploring the dark side, the tragic side, of desperately passionate people with vices in a bankrupt city in a country selling sanitized love and hustling their own people for money; like Atlantic City-- the money never hits the streets; the wheel never really stops turning; and even once you've won, you'll have to spin again. Jake, like a small percentage of late adolescents or new adults, finds himself acting rather strangely, under pressure and new stresses, and he breaks, having a psychotic episode and feeling as though he has ruined his reputation, lost the love of his life (young people are stupid), and find himself with no friends to speak of or to. He finds himself taking the last of his money and escaping, right into a desperate love with a woman leading a drinking life struggling to keep herself together in Atlantic City.

Book Description
The path of true love never did run smooth...did it? Kelsey Anderson is stuck in a rut so big, she’ll need a 4-wheel drive to get out. She’s just been made redundant from her dead-end job, and boyfriend Fran is so busy climbing up the career ladder that he’s forgotten how to have fun. She needs to change her life – and fast. Stumbling across an advert for tour guides in Stratford-Upon-Avon seems like the perfect way to bring the sunshine back. In an impulsive move, she moves from her small Scottish village to Shakespeare’s birthplace, armed only with a suitcase and her battered copy of Shakespeare’s Sonnets. Kelsey quickly falls in love with the place, her job as a tourist guide allowing her to explore every inch of the picture-perfect town, from cosy cafes to the picturesque banks of the river. But it’s not just the town that captures her heart, as she finds herself torn between the actors Will and Jonathan who both vie for her affections. But will beautiful Peony, the lead actress at the Oklahoma theatre company where Jonathan is playing Oberon in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, play a role in keeping Kelsey and Jonathan apart? Or will flirtatious, charming Will, the fellow tour guide who has set his sights on Kelsey, keep the star-crossed lovers from finding their happy ending?

Book Description
It was a quest that was considered by many to be impossible, stupid, and risky. But avid bicyclist and author Doug Freedline was determined to succeed on this planned bike trip that would take him around the Great Lakes, across Canada, down the Pacific Coast, across the Rockies, to the tip of Florida, and back to Pennsylvania. This memoir chronicles Freedline’s more than 9,000-mile, four-and-a-half-month road trip that began and ended in Indiana, Pennsylvania, in the summer of 1977. It was a journey that took him across a continent replete with natural wonders, quaint towns, and unforgettable people. Freedline not only discovered that he had the inner resources to overcome the past and complete any endeavor he started, but he found that the cold, cruel world that others professed to see did not actually exist. Much more than a travelogue, Summer of 1977 demonstrates how one man’s dream served as the impetus for finding the courage to attend college, earn a degree, and motivate others to improve their lives.
