Download or read book Sex Salvage Secrets Must Be Pr written by Reef Perkins and published by AbsolutelyAmazingebooks.com. This book was released on 2022-03-23 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the year 1620, when the Mayflower washed up on the beach at Plymouth Rock, there has been a Perkins on the loose in this country. This is the story of one such Perkins. Born when he was very young Perkins came to fruition in the rural cow pastures and swollen swamps of southern Michigan. From volunteering to be buried in the mud on the bottom of the Potomac River to casually leaping out of helicopters and into the slippery Tongue of the Ocean, Perkins takes the reader through a life of adventure, bad licks, bold naiveté and random happenings. Time spent in Vietnam destroying other people's property, life as an experimental diver, smuggler, prisoner, Key West salvage captain and several marriages have only served to further confuse the young Perkins. Driven by series of absurd experiences to the strangest calling of all, an author, Perkins now makes that sincere confusion available to the public in this mildew-resistant, soft-bound, edible edition. Written by ear, Sex, Salvage and Secrets (sub-titled Must Be Present to Win) is the rapid-fire journey of a young man thrust into premature adulthood and forced to pretend he understands what is happening and, even more befuddling—why. Colorful characters and dubious language mix with unanswered questions and cutting edge punctuation to bring to life the tropical meanderings of a man, who with great enthusiasm and limited intellect, ended up being here and-Present to Win.

Book excerpt: From the Booker Prize-longlisted author of Love and Other Thought Experiments comes a masterful and gripping thriller about truth, silence, and the weight of the past. Isobel lives an isolated life in North London, where she works at a nearby library. She feels safe, so long as she keeps to her routines and doesn’t let her thoughts stray too far into the past. But a newspaper photograph of a missing local schoolgirl and a letter from her old teacher send her spiraling and bring back the trauma of what happened years ago, when she was a pupil at The Schoolhouse. The Schoolhouse was a 1970s experimental school where the usual rules did not apply. Life there was a dark interplay of freedom and adventure, violence and fear. It was here that Isobel learned that some truths should never be revealed. But try as she might, the truth is coming for Isobel, and everything and everyone she has tried to protect are now at risk.

St. Johns, the oldest continuously occupied county in America celebrated its 450th birthday on September 4, 2015. More like a European enclave than an urban landscape, it is a place of cannon fire, street parties, historical reenactments, concerts, and more. From admiring replicas of fine art at Ripley’s Believe or Not, to hunting haunts in restaurants and museums, to eating ice cream from a recipe originated by World War II bombardiers, St. Augustine has it all from beaches, gourmet dining, festivals, and attractions. A young and vibrant business community coexists with a rich history from the Spanish conquistadors, the British aristocracy, antebellum Americans, and Civil Rights leaders. There are stories behind the forts, old Spanish houses, a slave market, civil rights landmarks, museums, hotels, art galleries, a college that was once a luxury hotel, and more. These places all have secrets to tell and, since it’s St. Augustine, one or two ghost stories as well. Once you come to St. Augustine, you keep coming back. St. Augustine is one place, despite its status as the oldest city, whose secrets never get old.
