Book excerpt: About Junkins’ novel Orchards of Almonds: “Don Junkins’ semi-autobiographical novel, Orchards of Almonds, blossoms with a Camelot-studded cast of characters that includes Kennedys alive and dead, LBJ and company, Reagan, and dozens of California politicos, academics, Viet Nam protesters and movie stars. . . . Junkins—as much the poet in design as in language—has achieved another triumph of deftness, irony and grace.” Allen Josephs (On Hemingway and Spain) “I was bowled over by Puss. I have never read, in any other literary work, such a profoundly pure and honest and dead-on rendering of the young girl. And that coupled with her extraordinary father/daughter relationship, it moved me deeply. He did for that relationship what Hemingway did for father and son in ‘Indian Camp.’” Linda Miller (Letters from the Lost Generation: Gerald and Sara Murphy and Friends)

Book excerpt: A PASSIONATE, FLAMBOYANT DUCHESS AND A CRUEL TWIST OF FATE... Jane Maxwell, the Fourth Duchess of Gordon, was one of the most influential women of her time-a patroness of poet Robert Burns, advisor to King George III and friend to Queen Charlotte, the mastermind behind her husband's political success, and a rival of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. Rich in historical detail, passion, and intrigue, Ciji Ware's Island of the Swans paints a fascinating portrait of one of the most celebrated and controversial beauties of the eighteenth century England. Spirited and charming, Jane captured the heart of her childhood sweetheart, Thomas Fraser, while her beauty caught the eye of his rival, Alexander, Duke of Gordon. Torn between duty and love, Jane is thrust into a lifelong love triangle that would threaten to destroy all she holds dear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Swans Island Buoys and Other Lines, an award-winning poet shares his compilation of poetry spanning forty years and providing a colorful glimpse into life on a small working island in Blue Hill Bay in the Downeast Maine coastal waters. Donald Junkins, a former professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and Director of the Master of Fine Arts program in English, offers seventy-five poems presented in a lyrical, resonant voice. Junkins includes original poetry and works previously published in such journals as The New Yorker, The Virginia Quarterly Review, and the two-volume anthology Contemporary New England Poetry. With a polished style, Junkins illustrates daily life for the 350 year-round inhabitants who orchestrate their lives around the tides, nightly winds, lobstering, fog, and late summer rains. In a world where the natural ebb and flow of nature dictates everyday life, Junkins offers an exquisite collection of poetry reminiscent of a time gone by. On this late morning in late June two yellow butterflies traverse the beach peas where the seawall begins. Mourning doves sound in the air.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Swan's Island, Maine Upon the very threshold of this historical sketch I found myself quite destitute of early public records. For over half a century from the settlement of this island until its organization as a plantation no municipal records were kept. But I have been fortunate in bringing to light many private family records, old deeds showing what lots were occupied by the pioneer settlers; and written mutual agreements, which seem to have been often the result of arbitration on any disputed point where different claims to land conflicted with one another. A great deal of the information which I have received concerning the early settlers was obtained from the oldest inhabitants of the island, many of whom were children of the first settlers, and in a few instances the latter of the pioneer settlers themselves. In this part, which I have obtained from the memory of aged people, some errors may appear, but in the main it will be found correct, as a great deal of pains has been taken to verify these records.
