The Liveaboards
Ever dream of having your own boat and living aboard? Just cutting your ties to the humdrum existence, the "same old, same old" that land dwelling represents? The Liveaboards is a contemporary fiction romance about people who are adventuresome or persistent or desperate enough to be genuine liveaboards, people who float endlessly with no home on land. But even liveaboards must have a place to access water and power and fuel. And that place is a marina. At Sunset Marina on Lake Guntersville in northern Alabama, the boating neighborhood is intimate and yet ever changing. Sunset Marina offers sanctuary to an eclectic mix of people who live there for myriad reasons in all sorts of crafts. Locally grown Southerners tolerate living inches from "damn Yankees" (those who won't go home) all for the love of boats. Although they are not completely isolated from the problems of the greater society, such as crystal methamphetamine, they can escape them for days into isolated coves. And love? Well, love is the same on land or on water. Or maybe not. Some liveaboards think they can create their very own "Love Boat." Who knows?
Love at Sunset
For my friend who was considering moving aboard, The Liveaboards was the perfect gift. The novel presents a true picture of this lifestyle. Heartland Boating Magazine 2008 was a humdinger, economically, politically, and emotionally. People who live on boats at Sunset Marina didnt escape the turmoil of the stock market taking a dive, $5 a gallon fuel at marina pumps, and a black American becoming President. Love at Sunset is a contemporary romance that continues the lives of liveaboards on Lake Guntersville in northern Alabama during this volatile time. Genuine liveaboards are people who own no land-based property. At Sunset Marina, they are homogeneous in feeling aff ection for their own boa...
1994 A Novel Of Rwanda
1994 is a story of courage, hope, and perseverance in the face of genocide. It is the story of Straton Mulinga, a subsistence farmer of Butare Prefecture in southern Rwanda, who, when caught up in the insanity of the genocide, is separated from his family and forced to fl ee Rwanda and search for them in the squalor of the refugee camps in Tanzania. His young wife, Chantal, lives with the slender hope that Straton will somehow fi nd her and their three children. From the people they meet along the way they learn details of the horrors of the genocide. It is also the story of some evil men: Innocent Bagosora, Fabien Mukama, Evariste Gatera. And of Prosper Bugande, a Hutu, member of the Rwanda...
Sunset Marina
Genuine liveaboards own no land-based property, no escape to firm ground when life gets rough, and so they depend upon a marina home for water, electricity, fuel, and safety. Sunset Marina is a contemporary fiction romance/mystery about people who are genuine liveaboards on Lake Guntersville in northern Alabama. Many dream about living on a boat, cutting some of those ties to land and simplifying their lives. Some are just water people by nature and feel best when they are afloat. Some think this would be a great way to spend their retirement years. But few people really do it, and fewer still may be able to in the future. Marinas and marina dwellers everywhere are under attack as shoreline property goes the way of millionaire mansions and high-rise condos, hurricanes drive up insurance rates, energy costs rise, and more and more restrictions impact the liveaboard way of life. When one of the Sunset Marina owners drowns under suspicious circumstances, several lives change dramatically, and as diverse as they are culturally, educationally and economically, the liveaboards work together to help the most helpless. And is justice done at the end? It's a mystery.
Reflections at Sunset
The tornado outbreak in northern Alabama on April 27, 2011, messed up life for thousands of people in and around the little town of Guntersville. The devastation was so great that some of them never fully recovered. Liveaboards and others just visiting their boats at fictional Sunset Marina on Lake Guntersville - those lucky enough to stay afloat - find themselves cut off from the outside world for several days. After her house is destroyed, reclusive Jenna Schultz becomes a reluctant liveaboard on her deceased husband's boat. She keeps a "Grief Journal" in an attempt to come to terms with her loss. Jenna may be smart and beautiful, but she knows nothing about boats, and in this unusual environment, realizes that she also knows very little about herself. A two-time loser in marriage, Aiden McCord, on the other hand, thinks he knows himself well enough to be frightened of what he feels for Jenna. REFLECTIONS AT SUNSET is a love story. Everyone loves a good love story, especially if it includes water and boats.
