Book excerpt: From critically acclaimed author and multiple award-winning filmmaker, D?v Kaufman comes an inspirational saga of one man's defiance against a mob of corrupt and lethal poachers that threatened the complete annihilation of the crittically endangered Olive Ridley sea turtle.Based on a series of actual events that occurred on a protected Olive Ridley nesting beach in northwestern Costa Rica, Elysium Coast tells the heroic tale of South African born Dana Dupont, who, born with a sliver spoon in his mouth, was later raised in a Zulu village in abject poverty where he learned about the ways of the natural world from his adoptive mother, Mabee. After earning his doctorate at the University of Miami, Dana met his wife, Juliana, and moved with her to Costa Rica to implement laws that would protect one of the most important sea turtle nesting beaches in the world; a place that had long been plagued by poachers and their unrelenting murder of the turtles all for the price of their eggs. Harmony existed for years on the beach after their laws allowed for a legal and controlled harvest of eggs, but the sickness of human greed would soon turn paradise into a nightmare. Elysium Coast offers an inspirational saga of one man's struggle to save an entire species which now depends on the sacrifices he must make, but is he willing to offer his own extinction to save the turtles from theirs?

Book excerpt: LIVING IN PARADISE-AND SWIMMING IN THE RIPTIDES Stories of beauty and danger on the Southern California Coast A much-admired lifeguard has lost his athletic daughter to the sea and is changed forever. A young man trains in Vegas to be a thug for the mob, gives it up and returns to the coast to live a moral life wasted on drugs. A gay party animal at Isla Vista becomes a brilliant businessman until he dies of AIDS. An accident-prone professional salvage diver succumbs to a life of risk and poverty. A teenaged surfer girl has an affair with her enabling mother's druggy boyfriend. A once successful homeless man holds onto his dignity by living in his last possession, his boat. These brief descriptions are a few of the springboards from which Terry Dressler builds haunting stories of love and loss in his debut collection. These stories are honest portraits of men and women who relate to one another and to the ocean that beckons them to danger and adventure. Although the stories in this collection are not afraid of the dark, the book also makes us joyfully aware of the beauty and attraction of the coastal life. The author gives us the glory of the surf at Hollister Ranch, the thrill of boating around the Channel Islands, the vibrant hustle of Santa Barbara's State Street, and the panoramic beauty of the churning ocean. He also reminds us, in every story, that life is made up of close relationships between and among people. Oil and Water: Stories From the Windward Shore is a well-painted, inviting portrait of the California coastal scene.

But when the Emperor sends his chief science advisor to rendezvous with the vessel, their expedition comes to a stand-still. Literally. While their ship quietly orbits the planet Elysium, May has no cause to suspect that her Captain has become an unwilling participant in a crime that would shake the Republic to its core if it were ever revealed. But then she discovers the truth, and has to choose between doing the right thing or following the Emperor's direct orders. Her decision will have far-reaching consequences, and she doesn't have time to consider her options. Set before the events in the highly-acclaimed novel 'Elysium's Shadow', this novella reveals the secret of what actually happened on the far-flung world of Elysium when it was first discovered. The Republic is determined to stand - but when Elysium awakens, justice will be sought.
