Book Description
It has been said by many anglers-'The worst day fishing is better than the best day working'. In fact, I have used the phrase a time or two myself when the waters of Alaska were beckoning. However, after a recent family fishing trip that nearly reduced the male population of my family by six members, work has taken on a sage and comfortable appeal. By profession, I am a rescue pilot in the state of Alaska, regularly saving people in peril. This line of work has never fallen into the catagories of safe and comfortable so as you might guess, this fishing trip story demands to be told.[From back cover].

Listen to the Land
Author: Dennis Boyer
Publisher: Terrace Books
ISBN: 0299225631
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
Inspired by years of talking with farmers, foragers, loggers, tribal activists, seed savers, fishers, railroaders, and nature lovers of all stripes, Dennis Boyer has created in Listen to the Land a fascinating communal conversation that invites readers to ponder their own roles in grassroots environmentalism. The nearly fifty voices that Boyer recreates here cross genders, generations, and geography. They include an Ojibwe leader contemplating nuclear waste, a houseboat dweller, a woman sharing her skills in gathering edible plants, a caboose-tender, a Milwaukeean fighting urban blight—even a recluse who shoots out streetlights. Each of the extraordinarily varied perspectives that Boyer recreates here considers the question, How do I interact with the Earth? Each has something important to say that expands our understanding of conservation and environmentalism. Listen to the Land encourages you to read a conversation or two and then go outside and start one of your own.

This Guy's The Limit
Author: Michael E. Petrie
Publisher: DORUS MOR BOOKS
ISBN: 1647048451
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
“In the pulse-pounding thriller This Guy’s the Limit, author Michael E. Petrie weaves a tangled web of lust, greed, and murder among the tropical paradise and seedy underbelly of California and Hawaii beach communities.” —The Daily “This Guy’s the Limit is a must-read for fans of page-turning drama. Petrie delivers a cast of complex characters and a nuanced examination of the lengths people will go to satisfy their deepest desire.” —South Bay Review By all appearances, Connie Cantu-Gambil would seem to have the perfect life: living aboard a yacht in Honolulu and married to a man who is both loving and rich. But Connie has been spending a good amount of time fantasizing about becoming a wealthy widow and now intends to make that a reality. Eddy Emsch, owner of a bucolic California vineyard, also appears to be living the perfect life. But Eddy has a secret. A kinky dark side he cannot rein in. When his fingerprints are found at a murder scene on Oahu, he becomes the subject of a police investigation—one that ultimately extends to California, connecting his winery to a drug smuggling operation. Handsome, charismatic criminal defense lawyer Vincent Scatucci—known for a clientele of drug lords and high-priced madams—is hired to represent the vineyard owner now accused of drug smuggling, but quickly finds himself in over his head when the crimes escalate to blackmail and murder. Ben Harding—a California lawyer who abandoned his career to become an aging beach bum—experiences a reality check that changes the direction of his life forever, sending him hurtling through a tormentous underworld littered with heartbreak and death. Book Two of the Ben Harding Mystery series, This Guy’s The Limit, set in Hawaii and California, is a story of intrigue, murder, drugs, and sexual blackmail drawn from the author’s experiences and observations over a thirty-year legal career. This story will keep readers turning pages to the very end.
