Across Three Oceans
The Pioneering Circumnavigation of the World in a Small Yacht, South of the Great Capes, 1923-1925 "Mr. 0 Brien's plain seamanlike account is so modestly written that a casual reader might miss its full significance.

Timeless Love
The Magic Charm It was a lovely silver necklace with a strange antique charm -- an early sixteenth birthday present from her parents. But now Samantha clutched the charm, desperate to disappear when her father discovered she'd wrecked his BMW....Suddenly she was standing in the bedchamber of Edward VI, the young king of England in 1553....

But Edward protected her -- especially as the ailing young king grew healthy, and rumors of marriage began. She thought she was safe -- until a handsome young stranger stole her heart and swept her into the middle of deadly sixteenth-century court intrigue....Could she ever go home again?

When they had finished, the king wondered whether it might not be better for all of them to live under the law of his Viking ancestors; the English, however, protested that they preferred to live by their own preco...
