Patriot Hearts
When John Furlong and his family emigrated from Ireland in 1974, the customs officer greeted them with "Welcome to Canada. Make us better," an imperative that has defined Furlong's life ever since. A passionate athlete with a track record of community service, he was roped into acting as spokesperson for Vancouver's incipient Olympic bid movement back in 1996, and then spent the next fourteen years living and breathing the Olympics. Furlong and his organizing team, including some 25,000 volunteers, orchestrated a remarkable Winter Games. Patriot Hearts is the story of how they did it.
Valiant Dreamers
In the 17th and 18th centuries the great powers of the world were concentrating energy, wealth, and ingenuity on the expansion of their empires far beyond the historical examples of Rome, Greece and Egypt. The Empire of Russia, expanding her borders under Peter the Great and Catherine the Great, was pressing toward the development of a Russian North America in the reign of Tsar Alexander. His weapon, unlike the military conquests of Spain, Portugal, France and England, was trade and commerce like the Dutch. Along with the giants of the North, Pribylov, Bering, Golikov and Shelikhov, Count Nikolai Rezànov earned fame and fortune as an intrepid explorer of the 18th Century. This is his story, and the story of the valiant men and women who adopted his dream of an Empire stretching from St. Petersburg to San Francisco.

Incidents at Whiterock and Other Stories
Book Description: In the northwest corner of Nevada, the high desert has laid its claim on people of the land since long before the native Americans who made their home around Pyramid Lake. Legends and myths surround the Black Rock country as vaguely as the winter mists creeping in from the mountains. It is a land of cattle and mining and sheep. In the middle of the twentieth century horses gave way to Toyota Land Cruisers and war surplus Jeeps, and the Basque and Portuguese shepherds moved great flocks of sheep for hundreds of miles. The dogs who were both labor and companions got used to the sound of engines. There were few towns and many lonely ranches. This is a story about one such town and the events which reshaped its life. Author Bio: Jack Poole pursues writing as a second career. He was raised in Michigan, graduated from DePauw University in Indiana, and enjoyed a 31 year engineering administration career in California. Mr. Poole lives and works in Nine Mile Falls, Washington, where his cat, Charlie, is a constant critic.
