Book excerpt: The Boy Who Saved a Cape Cod Town presents fourteen swashbuckling tales from Cape Cod history--all highly dramatic and all completely true. Starting with English explorer Bartholomew Gosnold's attempt to found a colony on Cuttyhunk Island in 1602, the book concludes with the story of the sinking of the huge liner Stockholm in 1958, which Cape Cod aerial photographer, Bill Quinn, was the first to report on TV. The stories appeal especially to young people since many characters are young, including the brave boy who saved a Cape Cod town during the War of 1812. Brilliantly illustrated by 25 black-and-white pictures by the talented artist Dick Fraser, Admont Clark's selections are certain to enrich anyone's understanding of the history of life on this precious peninsula. A favorite story is that in which two little girls aboard ship ride in a cart made for them by the crew and pulled by a pig, the pig later becoming their Sunday dinner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Village By: Karl Schumacher Set in one village, the brief yet passionate experiences of its citizens serve to show how humanity is shaped by common struggles, romances, and reveries. From the ancient to the futuristic, The Village creates a historical microcosm of the evolution of humanity. Told through the experiences of the young, the old, and the unborn, each character is created to feel timeless in their common intensities of life. The Village is used as a stage, community, and a link to its residents across generations. It is where we all came from, and people have been brave, quirky, doubtful, and persistent since its very beginning. “Schumacher’s foray into historical fiction could not be more timely as acknowledgment of the Pilgrim’s New World 400 years later is under examination and commemoration across the region. His inventive imagery and historic tone transport you to a time when the world was new and possibilities were endless. A remarkable tribute to the history upon which the Cape and the country as a whole have been built.” - Brian Shortsleeve, Publisher of Cape Cod LIFE “The Village, Karl Schumacher’s boldly imagined book of stories, does what collections are meant to do – provoke you to think. It also happens to be very well written, funny where it needs to be, and always clever. But it is the book’s premise that leaps out – one bit of earth, a village, is seen through the arc of time, from the landing of the first English settlers on Cape Cod to a not too distant future. We see repeated patterns of love, frailty, greed, intelligence, and stupidity unfold on an unchanging spit of land, telling us, in a very gentle way, that as much as things change, they stay the same. ” - Paul Vidich, acclaimed author of The Coldest Warrior, An Honorable Man, The Good Assassin and works of non-fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its rocky coast and treacherous shoals, shipwrecks were a common occurrence in nineteenth-century Massachusetts. Few claimed as many lives as the City of Columbus. The night was clear and the route familiar for Captain Schuyler Wright and his experienced crew as they sailed a ship equipped with the latest technology. Yet with all this, the City of Columbus went down with 103 souls. Over a century later, Eric Takakjian and the Quest Marine Services team located the wreckage of the City of Columbus on the north ledge of the Devil's Bridge, off the southern tip of Gay Head. Historian Thomas Dresser takes us into the icy waters of the Atlantic as he recounts the terrible chain of events that led to disaster on that fateful night.

The glittering, exalted world of art auctioning hides love, hate, and murder in a wealthy and socially prominent family when the forgery of an anonymous Cape Cod painting threatens to destroy them all.

Book excerpt: The true crime story of a notorious arsonist and murderer who kept a Cape Cod town in fear thanks to crooked cops. The Cape Cod beach town of Falmouth seemed like a lovely place to visit. But those who lived there year-round knew its other, darker side… Local businessman and infamous bully Melvin Reine had started setting the homes of his so-called enemies on fire. Few of his victims—or even the police—ever dared to implicate him. Because those who did would pay the price… Mysterious events kept creeping up in Falmouth. The disappearance of Melvin’s wife, a dead man found in a cranberry bog, a teenager slated to testify against Melvin who boarded a ferry, never to be seen again—was Melvin somehow responsible? Only one police officer, John Busby, had the guts to press him for answers. One day he found himself on the wrong end of a sawed-off shotgun…but managed to survive the attack. This is the shocking true story about what can happen to an all-American town when evil rules.
