Alterations

Many of these stories hark back more than fifty years, unwritten stories that lived in me the way stories do, as a bit of memory–a certain smell, the turn of a head, or the particular sound of a voice. Or, in the case of "Love, Mona," in a quilted dime-store night table and a sleeping Mexican painted on a cupboard door.

Decades later, they called to me, the memory of them morphing, changing, altering, becoming characters that were and were not them. And I kept writing about the loving and sometimes mysterious bonds of family. I dressed my characters, gave them habits and a particular way to speak, and put them down on the pages, wanting things they could not have, remembering things they wanted to forget.

An Inexplicable Attraction: My Fifty Years of Ocean Sailing

by Eric B. Forsyth

Sailing well into his eighties, Captain Eric Forsyth shows that age need not be a barrier to an adventurous retirement. His love of ocean sailing was ignited in 1964 when he crossed the Atlantic with his wife, Edith, crewing aboard a friend's 46-foot boat. For more than fifty years, mostly aboard his sturdy cutter, Fiona, Forsyth has cruised the oceans of the world, making voyages that included two circumnavigations of the globe, cruises through the Northwest Passage and to the Baltic, and several excursions to both the Artic and Antarctic. His stories will appeal to all sailors, whether active or armchair, and to travel buffs with a penchant for remote places and their histories.

On a more serious side, Forsyth has seen many countries that he visited over the decades change from languorous oligarchies to developing democracies with a thriving middle class. Like the U.S., they have a profligate appetite for fossil fuel, which is not a sustainable resource in the long run. He suggests ways of bringing attention to this global problem.

ANIMUS

by Phil Keith

Fictional terror attack on the Hamptons. An Al Qaeda cell emerges from an abandoned military base in Montauk, New York, ready for another violent act of sabotage, this time aimed at the fabulously wealthy Hamptons. The terrorists have been hired by an unstable billionaire who has hatched a plot to wipe out his business competition and effectively ruin the local economy.

Against a backdrop of glitz and glamour hurricanes of violence bear down on the totally clueless. Suicide bombers descend on a synagogue packed with worshippers; terrorists infiltrate a holiday party of local luminaries; and, hostages are taken at a private school for children of the rich and famous.

"Animus" races forward with murders, kidnappings, betrayals, and the arrival of a secret team from Delta Force. A wild chase across the wind-swept rocks around the Montauk Lighthouse will provide a slam-bang climax to the tale.
