Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tahoe: Or Life in California; A Romance Lake Tahoe and Sierran Villa. "Oh, sweet indeed the rest upon the mountains, This blessed strength from the eternal hills, This draught of life from the purest upland fountains, This sight of heaven that all my vision fills!" Twenty-two miles from the sage-brush capital of the Silver State, far away, 'neath Western skies, in the crown-shaped tops of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, just upon the border line of California, resting in cloudless quiet, lies a lake of surpassing beauty. The scene is lovely "beyond compare." The Western waves of ebbing day, play upon the surface of the calm, smooth, glass-like waters, 'till the eye, tired and dimmed by the reflected brightness, is forced to close and turn away. Fairy haunts have been painted; but where is the artist, whose skillful pencil can picture this scene in all its gorgeous beauty - can give shading to the shining tints of the glistening waters below, or with his brush, paint the colorings of the terraced clouds above? Atmospheric in clearness, dazzling in brightness, and so motionless on this spring evening, as to remind one as he looks upon the bosom of the lake, of the description given of the ice-clad Arctic, by travellers who have ventured far toward the Northern Pole, and stolen a glimpse of chose distant regions. But all ideas of cold, bleak and desolate lands are dissipated, on glancing up. Here tropical verdure greets the eye on every side, and the tall pines of the forest, contrast strangely with the low, richly colored matted ferns and mosses, that border the water, and are reflected from its surface.

Book excerpt: Pregnant and alone, Sarah Ladina wants to regain her independence and do what’s best for her soon-to-be-born baby, but buying a run-down Victorian for an inn wasn’t her brightest idea. An inability to cook or fix a leaky faucet will make the job even harder. When a friendly golden retriever, disabled vet, and potential cook show up on the first day, she knows her life is going to get a lot more complicated. When her ex tries to get back into her life and her doctor orders modified bed rest, Sarah wonders if she’ll ever be able to stand on her own.

Finding a job has been tough and housing doesn’t come cheap in Costanoa, the town that he loves most on the California coast. His prosthetic leg allows him to run, but keeps him from his childhood passion, surfing. With a low-level job and a transient motel for a home, Hunter isn’t sure life is worth living. But spring is coming in Costanoa and love is in the air. With the help of good friends, Sarah and Hunter may be able to get beyond the painful past and complicated present to find the love and respect they want and deserve.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Voices From Tahoe" is a fictional mystery inspired by author Barbara Welnetz's early life living at Lake Tahoe. The story revolves around a middle-aged woman who moves to Lake Tahoe, California after her divorce. Finding herself immersed in nature for the first time, she develops a love of the mountains and the beauty of Lake Tahoe. While managing a small grocery on the west shore of the Lake, the story describes the joys and challenges of life as a single woman in her 40s. Yearning to make this new life permanent, three men come into her life. One for love, one from a different century and one who schemes to enact revenge on her. How she manages to grow and survive amidst these three provides readers with mystery, romance, and terror. The novel is a first-person account of Tess McCarthy, who moves to Lake Tahoe, and her success as the eventual owner of the local mercantile. Living in a small cabin in the woods, she becomes entranced with nature as never before, both on her bicycle and through surprise interactions with local wildlife. The story also describes the funny and serious side of the grocery business. There is joy, sorrow and fear found in her interaction with three quite different men whom she meets in her first year at the Lake. Michael is the lonely man whom she stumbles upon in Blackwood Canyon's trails on the west shore of the Lake. He has suffered since a childhood fire left him scarred and alone in the world. Thomas is a spirit whom she discovers through an elderly widower who comes to find out if the spirit world really exists, and if Thomas is still inhabiting the upper floors of the old store that Tess is about to purchase. Jonathan is a troubled employee whom she suspects is stealing from the store. The termination of his employment results in a pattern of harassment he unleashes on her. Just when she believes he has left the lake, a terrifying confrontation ensues resulting in his attempt on her life.

Download or read book California Romantic and Resourceful written by John Francis Davis and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[...] California Romantic and Resourceful One of the most important acts of the Grand Parlor of the Native Sons of the Golden West which met at Lake Tahoe in 1910 was the appropriation of approximately fifteen hundred dollars for the creation of a traveling fellowship in Pacific Coast history at the State University. In pursuance of the resolution adopted, a committee of five was appointed by the head of the order to confer with the authorities of the university in the matter of this fellowship. The university authorities were duly notified, both of the appropriation for the creation of the fellowship and of the appointment of the committee, and the plan was put into practical operation. In 1911 this action was reaffirmed, and a resident fellowship was also created, making an appropriation of three thousand dollars, which has been repeated each year since. Henry Morse Stephens, Sather Professor of History, and Herbert E. Bolton, Professor of American History, and their able assistants in the history department of the university have hailed with delight this public-spirited movement on the part of that organization. The object and design of these fellowships is to aid in the collection, preservation and publication of information and material relating to the history of the Pacific Coast. Archives at Queretaro and Mexico City, in Mexico, at Seville, Simancas and Madrid, in Spain, and in Paris, London and St. Petersburg are veritable treasure mines of information concerning our early Pacific Coast history, and the correspondence of many an old family and the living memory of many an individual pioneer can still furnish priceless records of a later period. Professor Stephens has elaborated a practical scheme for making available all these sources of historical information through the providence of these fellowships, as far as they reach. The perpetuation of these traditions, the preservation of this history, is of the highest importance. Five years ago, at Monterey, upon the celebration of the anniversary of Admission Day, I took occasion to urge this view, and I have not ceased to urge it ever since. If we take any pride in our State, if the tendrils of affection sink into the soil where our fathers wrought, and where we ourselves abide and shall leave sons and daughters after us, if we know and feel any appreciation of local color, or take any interest in the drama of life that is being enacted on these Western shores, then the preservation of every shred of it is of vital importance to us-at least as Californians. The early history of this coast came as an offshoot of a civilization whose antiquity was already respectable. "A hundred years before John Smith saw the spot on which was planted Jamestown," says Hubert H. Bancroft, "thousands from Spain had crossed the high seas, achieving mighty conquests, seizing large portions of the two Americas and placing under tribute their peoples." The past of California possesses a wealth of romantic interest, a variety of contrast, a novelty of resourcefulness and an intrinsic importance that enthralls the imagination. I shall not attempt to speak of the hardship and high endeavor of the splendid band of navigators, beginning with Cabrillo in 1542, who discovered, explored and reported on its bays, outlets, rivers and coast line; whose exploits were as heroic as anything accomplished by the Norsemen in Iceland, or the[...].""

Book excerpt: Starting over will have to wait. Reporter Andrea Davidson isn't running from her mistakes. There's no escaping the career-ending mess she fell into back home. But she is moving forward, and is halfway to a new life in California when someone breaks into her motel room. She's lost her computer and her dignity, but that's only the beginning of her newest problem: local news editor Graham Bradley. Graham Bradley doesn't know a thing about the newspaper business. A widower with a promise to keep, he's got more than just his own personal welfare riding on this small-town paper. The last thing he needs is a pushy woman with a secret in her past and a vicious red pen throwing all his mistakes and insecurities front and center on his desk. Faced with an impossible choice, Graham hires Andi, but hopes she's not just the last-and maybe worst-in a long line of bad decisions. Saving the small-town Gazette is the second chance both Andi and Graham need. But with bill collectors calling, Andi's past catching up fast, and the chemistry between them making work next to impossible, will Andi and Graham get the second chance they both desperately need? Or will their demise be the next big headline?
