Book Description

"Bodies in the Bay" is a fictionalized account of the most gruesome crime to engulf Florida's twin cities of Tampa-St. Petersburg. Ramsey has molded this story into a riveting, suspense filled book, bringing together never before published details. For the Canadians, Florida meant a great escape from Canada's chill, an exciting adventure in the sun. For Ohio farm wife Victoria Ryan, Florida meant a break from the chores, a chance for quality time with daughters Kelly and Cheryl. Most of all, Victoria hoped it would be a time of healing for the rightfully troubled Cheryl. In the end it was every woman's worst nightmare.

Book Description

Life in Bodega Bay on the rugged, foggy coast of northern California has been pretty quiet since Alfred Hitchcock filmed The Birds there. But antiques dealer Toby Sandler learns that his new business partner Charlie has been found dead on an abandoned boat in the harbor. When the local sheriff discovers that Charlie’s newly acquired Hitchcock artifacts and a painting of an angel are missing, he enlists Toby and his wife, Nora Barnes, an art historian, in the investigation. Local tales about Hitchcock’s famous film, and some digging into the region’s past as a Russian outpost, provide Toby and Nora with clues to the existence of a lost masterpiece. Convinced that this forgotten work may hold the key to the murder, Nora and Toby set out to find it. When Nora’s trouble-prone sister Angie arrives, events take a surprising turn, leading to the uncanny realm of angel reading and putting Nora and her family in danger. As Nora and Toby investigate matters both criminal and otherworldly, Nora realizes that some mysteries in life may be too deep to solve.

Book Description

Author Dotty Holcomb Doherty's quietly heroic tale of two women's voyages through disease and dying, interwoven with voyages upon Chesapeake creeks that offer comfort and grace. Janet, a young mother, had months to live, doctors said in 1989. She and her husband would overcome staggering odds for 20 more years. Author Dotty Holcomb Doherty, afflicted by MS in 2002, became kayak buddy, confidante and biographer to Janet, her account both unsparing and loving. With a naturalist's eye, she frames their struggles with portraits of Chesapeake seasons, rhythms of migration and tide, the charms of water's edge. As their bodies betrayed them, the Bay buoyed them as they buoyed one another.-Tom Horton, Chesapeake Bay-based author and filmmaker.

Book Description

" [An] endlessly fascinating and frankly addictive masterpiece of safety-pin journalism." -- Austin Chronicle An oral history of the modern punk-revival's West Coast Birthplace Outside of New York and London, California?s Bay Area claims the oldest continuous punk-rock scene in the world. Gimme Something Better brings this outrageous and influential punk scene to life, from the notorious final performance of the Sex Pistols, to Jello Biafra?s bid for mayor, the rise of Maximum RocknRoll magazine, and the East Bay pop-punk sound that sold millions around the globe. Throngs of punks, including members of the Dead Kennedys, Avengers, Flipper, MDC, Green Day, Rancid, NOFX, and AFI, tell their own stories in this definitive account, from the innovative art-damage of San Francisco?s Fab Mab in North Beach, to the still vibrant all-ages DIY ethos of Berkeley?s Gilman Street. Compiled by longtime Bay Area journalists Jack Boulware and Silke Tudor, Gimme Something Better chronicles more than two decades of punk music, progressive politics, social consciousness, and divine decadence, told by the people who made it happen.

For years, Dr. Charlotte Adams has been concentrating on her career and trying to make up for her past by helping out pregnant teenagers. Taking care of Annie’s baby has gone a long way in healing old wounds and Charlotte realizes she needs to think about what she wants for her future and if Andrew Schilling, a high school romance gone wrong, or Joe Silveira, the hot divorced police chief, have any part in it.
