Book Description
Keep Australia on Your Left is a story of friendship forged--and sustained--under demanding circumstances. It is also the personal portrait of Eric Stiller's journey around a continent...and into himself. "You mad bastards. You mad bloody bastards." The challenge? Paddle a kayak around Australia. As Eric Stiller and Tony Brown would discover, the attempt would be a fascinating, frustrating, maddening, and at times hilarious crawl around what many consider the most beautiful but treacherous coastline in the world. Swamped by high waves and rain, hampered by faulty technology, blown off course, baked by a broiling sun or chilled by sub-zero temperatures, battling loneliness and exhaustion--and sometimes each other--it would be the most demanding emotional and physical challenge either had ever attempted. In short, it was the adventure of a lifetime! At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Description
Clay Pennell delights in, at last, riding the famous RAGBRAI, Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, a goal achieved. Since childhood, cycling assumed an important place in Clay's life, both as recreation and conditioning. In addition, it was on his bike that he sifted through any issues that he confronted. At the conclusion of his ride across Iowa, Clay left more in the small Iowa town of Packwood than just memories. However, his life went on with only fleeting moments of reflection on that night in Packwood's Friendship Park. Ten years later Clay faces a serious interruption in a life that has included a successful career in the cycling world and a successful marriage to a beautiful executive in a thriving electronics firm located in suburban Minneapolis. An accident on his bike has clouded his future as a cyclist, confronted him with the need to discover just who was responsible for his potentially fatal encounter with a white pickup, and added mistrust to his marriage. Ultimately, Clay confronts a crisis that extends far beyond mere cycling. His decision could have a profound influence on a child's life.

Some public servants provide shelter for the homeless, others food for the hungry. Me, I run over cyclists with my car. If not me, then who? Over three dozen to date, and the number keeps growing. I don’t want fame or money for my deeds, but a plate of nachos every now and then would be nice.

Book Description
“Emotional and sexy…I loved it!” —Miranda Kenneally, bestselling author of Catching Jordan “Dessa is a winning and resilient heroine.” —Elizabeth Wein, New York Times bestselling author of Code Name Verity “A journey I would happily take over and over again.” —Dahlia Adler, author of Just Visiting “The fantastic, feminist novel I wish I’d had as a teen.” —Jessica Spotswood, author of the Cahill Witch Chronicles “A heartfelt—and at times, heartbreaking—exploration of finding yourself.” —Stacey Kade, author of Finding Felicity “An emotional, aesthetic, and hopeful journey to self-discovery.” —Kirkus Reviews “[T]he message of maintaining persistence, courage, and creativity is a worthy and welcome one for teen readers.” —Booklist Seventeen-year-old Dessa Rhodes is torn between leaving her modern nomadic life and pursuing her dreams of becoming an artist in this fun, contemporary debut novel that’s “perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen and Morgan Matson” (Ashley Poston, author of Geekarella). Dessa Rhodes is a modern day nomad. Her family travels in an RV, their lives defined by state lines, exit signs, and the small communal caravan they call home. Among them is Cyrus, her best friend and long-time crush, whom she knows she can never be with. When your families are perpetually linked, it’s too dangerous to take a risk on romance. Instead, Dessa looks to the future. She wants to be a real artist and going to art school is her ticket to success and a new life. There’s just one problem: she hasn’t been accepted…anywhere. Suddenly her future is wide open, and it looks like she’s going to be stuck traveling forever. Then an unexpected opportunity presents itself: an internship working with a local artist in Santa Fe. Dessa struggles to prove to her boss—and herself—that she belongs there, but just as she finally hits her stride, her family suffers an unexpected blow. Faced with losing everything that she has worked for, Dessa has a difficult decision to make. Will she say goodbye to her nomadic lifestyle and the boy she loves? Or will she choose to never stop moving?
