Book Description
Every legend begins with a little lie, but it needs some truth if it's gonna' fly. The chase is on for the American Dream and everyone is looking for a big pay day. Billy and his sailboat race crew are chasing the breeze and a boat load of silver. Their M.F.O. is smuggling home the green grass of Jamaica, and the 'gas and go' Albanians are hoping to fill up on cash. Here comes the D.A., as always, chasing the chasers. What could go wrong? "Can't Sail In Jail!" is a fun romp of misadventures on wisps of wind and weed in a wacky world around Mystic, Connecticut with no room for innocence, where wrong decisions can help you grow up. If you want to. The cast of characters will charm you, offend you, make you laugh and make you cry. Each seeks the Dream, taking different paths to avoid the inevitable nightmare. Remember - It's okay to fail, just stay out of jail! All of Greg Gilmartin's novels are locally based from Coney Island to Block Island with forays to San Francisco and Colombia.

Book Description
This is a life-changing true story of drugs-running across the Pacific. A young girl with a passion for sailing gets approached to transport an illegal cargo from Colombia to the US. She battles with storms, snakes, and interminable days at sea, before finally being intercepted by a Mexican gunboat. Her subsequent incarceration in Mexico's most infamous prison, La Mesa, is almost more surprising: the treatment she receives and the people she meets become a transformative experience, as she recounts in this totally compelling personal journey.

Book Description
In 1890, the year after first reaching Samoa but before he had properly settled there, Stevenson and his stepson planned and began what they intended to be a huge novel, a black, ugly, trampling, violent story, full of strange scenes and striking characters. It took them until 1893 to finish the story. It seems to be that Stevenson realized he had taken his spade too deep in the black depths of human nature. His metier had mostly been the dark primitive passions of the race, but not even the conception of pure evil in Mr. Hyde is more repulsive than the trio of villainy in The Ebb Tide, where it is heightened against the dazzling beauty of the Pacific seas and beaches.
