Morgan knew she didn't want to go out to sea...now she knew why. The simple act of a surprise birthday party brings trouble from the depths off Pearl Island, and Morgan is forced to solve a murder and confront the threat to the island. It's her destiny to protect Pearl Island and it's residence, just as it's Cora's destiny to try and destroy Morgan. The sea witch is full of trickery and malice as she tries to lure a group of ocean salvage divers with the promise of gifts from the sea. But Morgan, with the help of her friends Gabe Holleran and the Colbright sisters, plans her own slight-of-hand. Who will win this battle? As Morgan tries to find the murderer, she also finds more about the history of Pearl Island and the roles the Seaver Family has played in the battles against the tricks and deceptions of the sea witch.

The Story Continues... Christmas on Pearl Island brings more than Santa. Pirates threaten the safety of the island, and when tragedy stricks, Morgan reminds the sea witch, Cora, of a long-ago promise. Now that Morgan is assured of her personal safety, she must plan to destroy the modern-day pirates terrorizing the waters of the island and ensure the safe return of their hostages.

Carter attempts to reconstruct the "classical" reading of renga (linked verse) using extant rulebooks from the time, approximating in every way possible the manner in which it was read in its own time and place. The result is a rare glimpse into the literary conssciousness of the medieval Japanese that seems paradoxically modern in its insistence on the final indeterminancy of poetic meaning.Includes a full translation of the 1501 rulebook along with an annotated translation of a solo renga sequence composed in 1492 by Shōhaku's teacher and mentor, Sōgi.

What happens when you add one part James Bond, one part David Copperfield, and stir in the expertise of a mission impossible force? You get Jonathan Barrow, master illusionist and his team who are part of an organization known as M.A.G.I.C. or Military Assisted Global Intelligence Command. World famous master magician Jonathan Barrow is not just an illusionist. His code name is Wizard. Jonathan’s team is made up of a former CIA operative, a magician apprentice, a former Navy Seal, a member of MI-6 on loan from the United Kingdom, a Hollywood make-up artist, and a stunt specialist from the film industry. Dirty Secrets begins with the theft of Plutonium 238, from light houses decommissioned by the Russian government as part of a NATO agreement. A group called Rising Sun has acquired the radioactive material with the intent of detonating three dirty bombs in three highly populated locations, all on the same day at the same time. The terrorist group has chosen three high profile targets making it a logistical nightmare for Jonathan and his team. Using movie magic, illusion, misdirection, and a cunning crew they attempt to avert a national catastrophe along the eastern seaboard of the United States. The exciting conclusion ends with Jonathan fighting the lead terrorist seconds before detonation and the rest of the team dealing with other threats using skills any spy agency would love to have. Soon to be declassified will be the next mission for the M.A.G.I.C team.

Dont let the title mislead. This book is about surfing and the people who lived the surfing experience in Australia in the 1970s and, through flashbacks, to as early as the 1950s. The title refers to the dilemma of the lead character, Alexander Scott. He is trapped by family circumstances in a place that can never satisfy his needs. He loses his father at a young age and is brought unwillingly out of a very sheltered upbringing. Though his stepfather cares for him, he is unable to provide the father figure Alex needs. Surfing provides the escape, but it also puts him in conflict with his family. When his mother passes away, his stepfather remarries, and Alex is left with two stepparents and a family to whom he cannot relate emotionally. His stepsister provides a partial bridge, but in reality, they are worlds apart. She is a product of the wealthy Sydney society while Alex prefers his surfing companions. When Alex meets Julianne Cameron, there is an instant rapport. She becomes the love of his life, and he sees a way to find the emotional peace he seeks. But Julianne is cruelly taken from him in an accident that leaves Alex with injuries from which he can never recover.
