Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A winter wedding in the Adirondack Mountains, how romantic! Until a blizzard descends, dumping more than seven feet of snow, marooning Ellen and Vic in their remote Adirondack camp. Snowbound with a man who is a twelve on a scale of one to ten? Every woman's dream except, there's no water, electricity and scant food supplies. To make matters worse, mysterious tracks appear in the snow, ghostly apparitions wearing ski hats haunt the woods and guests arrive, uninvited, on dog sled. Throw in a speakeasy from the 1920s and the recipe is perfect for a batch of Christmas mayhem that only klutz-Ellen can whip up. The weather outside is frightful but Ellen and her friends, Twinkie and Adele, spin the perfect Christmas tale of holiday cheer, sleigh rides, ice skating, snow angels and of course, Santa too. Join Ellen and Vic as they sort and dig out the Christmas havoc Santa delivered this year in the fourth book of the Audacity Series. It's that most wonderful time of the year to settle in next to the fire and read, Audacity of an Adirondack Christmas, the perfect pairing with a cup of eggnog under the mistletoe. Merry Christmas, fa, la, la, la, la!

Book excerpt: It starts with balsam-scented forests, paddling down a quiet stream or hiking up a mountain peak...it's an Adirondack state of mind. But not so for Ellen McCauley Rienz, armed with a summer checklist, she has a wedding to plan and all 46 of the Adirondack High Peaks to hike...by Labor Day. Unfortunately, life has a way of interfering with even the best of plans. Something strange is going on at Camp, threatening letters, uninvited neighbors showing up at the most inconvenient times and ghostly apparitions. Add a few mysterious trespassers camping on the lake with glow-in-the dark hula-hoops and summer holds more surprises then Ellen anticipated. When her husband, Vic returns from an extended work trip...different, very different, Ellen is perplexed. Undaunted by the troublesome irritations, she forges on and learns hiking the High Peaks, while rewarding...is really hard. And resentments, thought forgotten and long buried have a way of resurrecting themselves. Award winning author, L.R. Smolarek brings love, laughter, mystery and a hint of sizzle to the splendor of the Adirondack Mountains. Audacity of An Adirondack Summer is the perfect pairing with a glass of chardonnay and an Adirondack chair.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The repackaged trade paperback of Cory Doctorow's miraculous novel of family history, Internet connectivity, and magical secrets—now with a new cover! Alan is a middle-aged entrepeneur who moves to a bohemian neighborhood of Toronto. Living next door is a young woman who reveals to him that she has wings—which grow back after each attempt to cut them off. Alan understands. He himself has a secret or two. His father is a mountain, his mother is a washing machine, and among his brothers are sets of Russian nesting dolls. Now two of the three dolls are on his doorstep, starving, because their innermost member has vanished. It appears that Davey, another brother who Alan and his siblings killed years ago, may have returned, bent on revenge. Under the circumstances it seems only reasonable for Alan to join a scheme to blanket Toronto with free wireless Internet, spearheaded by a brilliant technopunk who builds miracles from scavenged parts. But Alan's past won't leave him alone—and Davey isn't the only one gunning for him and his friends. Whipsawing between the preposterous, the amazing, and the deeply felt, Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town is unlike any novel you have ever read.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A shining portrait of a presciently modern political genius maneuvering in a gilded age of wealth, optimism, excess and American global ascension.”—San Francisco Chronicle WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR BIOGRAPHY • “[Theodore Rex] is one of the great histories of the American presidency, worthy of being on a shelf alongside Henry Adams’s volumes on Jefferson and Madison.”—Times Literary Supplement Theodore Rex is the story—never fully told before—of Theodore Roosevelt’s two world-changing terms as President of the United States. A hundred years before the catastrophe of September 11, 2001, “TR” succeeded to power in the aftermath of an act of terrorism. Youngest of all our chief executives, he rallied a stricken nation with his superhuman energy, charm, and political skills. He proceeded to combat the problems of race and labor relations and trust control while making the Panama Canal possible and winning the Nobel Peace Prize. But his most historic achievement remains his creation of a national conservation policy, and his monument millions of acres of protected parks and forest. Theodore Rex ends with TR leaving office, still only fifty years old, his future reputation secure as one of our greatest presidents.

Download or read book Open Season written by Daren Worcester and published by Down East Books. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Woods Cop: True Stories of the Maine Warden Service is a collection of 21 stories from two former colonels, two lieutenants, two sergeants, four district wardens, a warden pilot, and one currently active duty corporal. Altogether, their cumulative experiences account for more than 300 years of warden experience. Before reality TV cameras, GPS devices, and dashboard computers, these wardens presided over a coming of age era for the Maine Warden Service. It was a time when a compass, map, and their wits were what mattered most in the field. Every day offered the potential for an exciting new adventure, many of which endangered the wardens themselves. This book recreates the full warden experience. In addition to hair-raising, life-and-death scenarios, the collection covers moments such as a child innocently outing his parents as “looking for deer” at night, the doldrums of a stakeout, and the grief of tragedy. The stories have been written in a third person, narrative format to ensure consistency in style and to help readers feel the excitement of a twig snapped in the dark, the frustration of second guessing yourself when lives are at stake, and the duty to do what’s right, even if it means breaking the law.
