Join me on a journey through the U.S. National Parks, California, and the South Pacific as my tours' adventures yield valuable insights. This is the first in a series of books chronicling the challenges I confronted and the revela- tions that transformed me during my six-year global odyssey. If misadventure is the best teacher, these vignettes instruct with wit, wisdom, and humor. The calamities that befell my first tour, and my progress during the next seven tours form the basis for this memoir.

<p>Robert F. (Bob) Wearley served as Chief Pilot of Howard Hughes' personal fleet of aircraft, in addition to his long and distinguished flying career in military, corporate, and commercial aviation. In his book he gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at the often strange, always eccentric inner workings of the Hughes Empire. Bob also details the connection between the Hughes organization and the Nixon White House and reveals the real reason why Nixon ordered the Watergate break-in that ultimately forced his resignation. Along the way, he was exposed to challenges that compromised his integrity, resulting in the title of Prodigal Pilot he chose for the book.</p>

Biographies & Memoirs

Joanna Bruckner finds her parents insensitive, dull and hopelessly small-minded.  It's 1969, and arguments about the Vietnam War, drugs, sex and who her friends are have pushed the family to the breaking point.  She's unhappy with the way she looks, and feels lonely and adrift.  But a chance encounter with a seductive Frenchman in the summer before she leaves for college changes everything, triggering an obsessive love affair and one misadventure after another.  Joanna searches for meaning  in the Zen teachings of an unorthodox Biology professor, a hallucinogenic trip through the streets of Boston, risky encounters, hair-raising road trips and finally, a pilgrimage to France.  With the war and  the free-loving 1960's as backdrop, "One Fine Day" will take readers back to that era of turmoil, angst and self-seeking.  Caught in a dangerous spiral,  Joanna's life spins out of control until a shocking tragedy forces her to re-examine who she is and what the bonds of family truly mean.

Suzanne Schiffman

A novel for dog lovers. This is a three-part mythical tale. In Part One, Adar's Bargain follows a prime wolf, from prehistoric times, who makes a deal to save his pack from starvation and an archenemy half-wolf by surrendering them to humans, thus leading to domestication and the birth to dogs. In Part Two, Odin's Bounty, contemporary dogs, led by Fargo, a Border Collie, must re-learn the ways of a wolf pack to survive the elements and a stalking enemy, while alone on a deserted island. In Part Three, Fargo's Legacy, the parent wolves and Fargo's pack join forces in a hereafter, called The Meadow, to protect their eternal lives in epic battle with the ancient half-wolf pack from Book One, that returns with a vengeance.

Against the Law

Dr. Salk looked up from his papers as the first guard walked through the door with his hands clasped on top of his head. "What-?" Salk started to ask as the other two guards followed, their eyes straight ahead. But Kirk came in behind them, his gun pointed at their backs, looked over at the doctor, and in a polite, businesslike way, said, "Just keep on doing what you're doing, Doctor. " Kirk instructed the guards to kneel on the floor, keeping their hands on their heads. He removed their guns. Terrified, Salk's mind raced. What should he do when the shots began to ring out? What had Kirk done with Mary Evans? Then Mary walked in. Kirk crossed to his young lawyer. "You watch that man over there," he said, indicating the doctor. He placed a gun in Mary's hand. It was the last day of March 1983, one day before April Fools' Day.
