Download or read book Pirate Moon written by June Marie Saxton and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wind blew silence, rolling heavy and thick from the oceans chilly deep, and it settled around us. I stared at a puddle of blood and shuddered. I glanced toward the ocean. The moon peeked through tattered clouds and it was eerie and sad. I called it a pirate moon, yet for melancholy reasons this time. The shady acts of men and devils were often aided by the light of such dim telestial glow. Pirate Moon is a stand-alone, must-read novel, yet it subtly culminates Saxtons other books, Dancing with the Moon, Beckon, and Into the Second Springtime. It is written in typical Saxton style, evoking sorrow, pain, radiant laughter, joy, tender romance, and quiet reflection. Pirate Moon is both the darkest and lightest of Saxtons books; cleverly combining danger and spirituality like the two were friends.

Download or read book Flip Flop Fantasy written by Christina Laflamme and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a hot and humid July day in 2016, I set out from my home in the heart of Toronto on a three-hundred dollar bicycle, alone, forty-one years old, with next-to-no camping or long-distance cycling experience. My destination: more than two thousand kilometers away, the Cabot Trail. I had no idea what I was doing or why I was doing it. All I knew was I was scared as hell. Single, no children, and perhaps feeling a little lost, I was unsure of so many things about my life. However, this bike ride I was entirely sure about. It was the only thing that felt right; so perhaps the journey would give me the reason? But would my girlish gumption be enough to see me through camping alone in the deep, dark woods, riding across thousands of kilometers, and climbing the many mountains of the Cabot Trail? Would going it alone and placing my faith in my fellow humans prove well-founded? Every moment was like a wild and wonderful wager. I knew in my heart that women are strong and that people are good. And this summer, I basically bet my life on it.
