Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Roving Life, 1895, Vol. 2: A Diary of Travels and Adventures by Sea and Land, During Peace and War This account of the roving portion of my life is the result of a desire on the part of each of my children to possess a copy of my diaries kept during my wanderings. When I concluded at the age of sixty-six years to put my diary into type I thought I would preface it with a few pages of my ancestral record. That record, after three years of search, filled nearly two-hundred pages, which I put into a separate work on "The Duncan Stuart Family; Our Branch and Its Connections." In that I gave a short account of other portions of my life, reserving to these volume an account of my roamings. The typography and press-work have been my own work (except the press-work of the half-tones, as my little 4x6 press had not the requisite strength for a halftone impression.) Now that the work is finished I am past seventy years old, and I trust that the typography will meet Jenient criticism from the reader on that score. Trusting that my mistakes in life may be avoided by my descendants I present this record to them with my love.

He went on shore and got some milk for him, and bought some pieces of linen; and, as he had little to do, he spent his time in making them into shirts. He also made a little bed, and filled it with soft feathers. Now, I have said before that Bill was a rough sailor. He had a hand almost as hard as flint, and a voice that sounded as rough as a tin horn. But his hard hand never was rough to the little creature that he had in charge; and his voice, when he spoke to it, was softened into kindness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Land and Sea Tales Amongst the most active officers who had served in the Parliamentary army in the first instance, and who afterwards became a firm and attached follower of Cromwell during the Commonwealth, was Major Phillips, a man eminently suited for the times in which he lived.

Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller An uproarious tale of romance, heartbreak, and tentacled mayhem inspired by the classic Jane Austen novel—from the publisher of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters expands the original text of the beloved Jane Austen novel with all-new scenes of giant lobsters, rampaging octopi, two-headed sea serpents, and other biological monstrosities. As our story opens, the Dashwood sisters are evicted from their childhood home and sent to live on a mysterious island full of savage creatures and dark secrets. While sensible Elinor falls in love with Edward Ferrars, her romantic sister Marianne is courted by both the handsome Willoughby and the hideous man-monster Colonel Brandon. Can the Dashwood sisters triumph over meddlesome matriarchs and unscrupulous rogues to find true love? Or will they fall prey to the tentacles that are forever snapping at their heels? This masterful portrait of Regency England blends Jane Austen’s biting social commentary with ultraviolent depictions of sea monsters biting. It’s survival of the fittest—and only the swiftest swimmers will find true love!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Discovery of America At a very early age Columbus evinced a decided inclination for the sea; his education, therefore, was mainly directed to fit him for maritime life, but was as general as the narrow means of his father would permit. Besides the ordinary branches of reading, writing, grammar, and arithmetic, he was instructed in the Latin tongue, and made some proficiency in drawing and design. For a Short time, also, he was sent to the university of Pavia, where he studied geometry, geography, astronomy, and navigation. He then returned to Genoa, where, according to a contemporary historian, he assisted his father in his trade of wool-combing. He could not, however, have remained long in this employment, as, according to his own account, he entered upon a nautical life when but fourteen years of age. The nautical propensity evinced by Columbus in early life is common to boys of enterprising Spirit and lively imagination brought up in maritime cities; to whom the sea is the road to adventure and the region of romance. Walled in and straitened on the land Side by rugge yielded but little scope for enterprise on Shore, while and widely extended commerce, visiting every country, an roving marine, battling in every sea, naturally led forth children upon the waves, as their propitious element.
