Book Description
Take in the wild beauty of Santa Catalina Island with tour guide and eclectic gift shop owner Whitney Dagner. On the itinerary: dramatic Pacific coastlines, diverse marine life, and murder! Since returning home from mainland California and finding her groove with the family tourism business, Whitney Dagner’s daily routine has become a wonderfully chaotic adventure. She and her nimble kitty, Whiskers, often find themselves at the center of the action on Catalina, from staged treasure hunts to gossipy birdwatchers. But before Whit can get too comfortable in the place where she grew up, a gift shop order leads to a stunning discovery—someone’s dead body . . . One of Whit’s best boat tour client’s, Leo Franklin was young and newly engaged when he unceremoniously took his own life. Only it doesn’t seem like that’s what really happened—not after the suspicious activity displayed by his family’s old rivals at the scene of his death. As a bitter, generations-long feud between Leo’s kin and the local Ahern clan comes to a head, Whit and her police diver not-so-ex-boyfriend must lead a dangerous investigation into years of scandal and bad blood to figure out who’s innocent . . . and who’s covering a killer’s tracks. Praise for Much Ado About Nauticaling “Colorful characters determined to weigh into Whit’s private life promise much fun ahead. Cozy fans will be charmed.” —Publishers Weekly

When fate offers a second chance, can she free herself from the past? Or has she misread too many novels? CATHRYN McNEIL wants to believe in happily-ever-after, Jane Austen style.

She's resigned to her secluded life in a small prairie town with her animals and fictional heroes until she meets polo player Jack Stone at a funeral. They're drawn together by a mutual love of horses and the land, but his hot and cold behavior-and a family secret involving another woman-cause her to question if he can be the hero she seeks. With her heart still buried in a graveyard of loss, is it too late for adventure—or love? The powerful weather and sweeping vistas of the northern plains and the Rocky Mountain foothills set the mood. Nature throws challenges at the ensemble cast, challenging life, loyalty, and friendships as they each come to terms with love and loss, and reinvent their own roles in the circle of life. A story of seasoned romance, friendship, horseback adventure, and family drama rolled into one life-changing journey.

Shark

ISBN: 1461747929
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
“The sharks, ancient or modern, real or imaginary, have always been with us, and will probably remain with us forever. They appear not only in movies and literature, but in countless permutations of size, shape, and materials, permeating our daily lives with their silent menace. In a sense, humans live in a world replete with sharks, not vice-versa.” Thus Richard Ellis sets about chronicling and debunking the myths of sharks throughout history. From 18th century art to the phenomena of JAWS, “the shark” has remained the indomitable aggressor of the deep, the last demon of humankind. The image of the shark and the fear it inspires infiltrates our daily lives with its mythical power and strength. But it is not man who should fear the shark. Our need to dominate these predators is destroying them and their habitat. Through hundreds of full-color images Ellis proves the necessity of preserving these majestic creatures. As curator of the Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Art’s exhibition entitled “Shark”, debuting May 2012, Ellis adeptly turns these sleek, efficient hunters from monsters of the deep into rare, beautiful forces of nature.
