Thunder McCloud, a divorced woman whose life is in turmoil, faces additional challenges when she discovers someone has broken into her Neo-classic house to clean it. She keeps her handsome significant other baffled and bewildered after she gives him a six-week evaluation on being a friend, lover, and potential husband. He tells her, "Wasn't it just last month that you hosted a black-tie dinner at two thousand dollars a plate, in my honor, and presented me with the Brave Badge of Courage Award?" Thunder carries with her emotional baggage that has had her nametag on it since childhood -- baggage that is never lost! Her problems escalate when a psychiatrist takes her to a secluded cabin to convince her that her lover is a figment of her imagination, that he and she are married, and that she is recovering from a nervous breakdown. A subplot takes the reader on a wild journey with a country gentleman from Thunder's past. Now, a serial killer, they are destined to meet again.

There are moments when we forget how fortunate we are to have the California coast. The state is home to 1,100 miles of uninterrupted coastline defined by long stretches of beach and jagged rocky cliffs. Coastal Sage chronicles the career and accomplishments of Peter Douglas, the longest-serving executive director of the California Coastal Commission. For nearly three decades, Douglas fought to keep the California coast public, prevent overdevelopment, and safeguard habitat. In doing so, Douglas emerged as a leading figure in the contemporary American environmental movement and influenced public conservation efforts across the country. He coauthored California’s foundational laws pertaining to shoreline management and conservation: Proposition 20 and the California Coastal Act. Many of the political battles to save the coast from overdevelopment and secure public access are revealed for the first time in this study of the leader who was at once a visionary, warrior, and coastal sage.
