  A Floating City is a fascinating travel narrative by Charles Dickens that captures the excitement, novelty, and social diversity of transatlantic travel in the nineteenth century. Based on Dickens's own journey to America, the book offers a lively and observant account of life aboard a large ocean steamship—an entire world in motion upon the sea.
  
  Through vivid description and sharp commentary, Dickens portrays the ship as a "floating city," populated by passengers from all walks of life. As the voyage unfolds, he records the routines, conversations, tensions, and entertainments that shape daily life at sea, along with the awe and danger of crossing the vast Atlantic Ocean. His keen eye for human behavior transforms ordinary moments into engaging social observations.
  
  Beyond travelogue, A Floating City reflects Dickens's broader interest in modern progress, technology, and human adaptability. The steamship becomes a symbol of industrial advancement and global connection, while also revealing how social hierarchies and personal habits persist even in confined and unfamiliar surroundings.
  
  Informative, witty, and richly atmospheric, A Floating City offers readers a unique glimpse into nineteenth-century travel and Dickens's talent as a nonfiction storyteller. The work stands as an engaging blend of observation, reflection, and historical insight—bringing to life a remarkable journey across the open sea.

  Do you embrace your life and how you came to be who you are today? While that can sometimes be painful, it could be the most powerful thing you ever do. Witness this power through the legacy of Victor Mycynek (1943-2004). 
  Victor-an engineer, craftsman, and forestry enthusiast-was not a politician, celebrity, CEO, or business owner. He wasn't an artist or in the military. He didn't live through the era of social media influencers. Still, just by being himself, he inspired the richest and fullest life possible for many who knew him. It would be an understatement to say he used his time well. 
  Victor's son, Steven, proves through stories about his father, some happy or sad, some funny or just plain odd, that accepting who you are and where you came from, quirks and all, can unleash an awesome force to impact the world around you for the better. Following Victor's example, we all can learn to use our time well.

  The next clever, witty, and touching installment in the Edgar award-winning Stewart Hoag mystery series finds the beloved ghostwriter-sleuth and his faithful neurotic basset hound, Lulu, back in 1990’s New York City, investigating a bestselling author’s stolen manuscript and three murders linked to the crime. 
  Washed-up celebrity ghostwriter Stewart “Hoagy” Hoag has finally rediscovered his voice and is making progress on what he hopes will be his long-awaited second novel. Burrowed up in his less-than-luxurious, sweltering fifth floor walk-up, he tries not to think of the disparities between himself and his ex-wife, celebrity actress Merilee Nash, who is sifting through film offers—and also her fickle feelings for Hoagy—from her elegant eight-room apartment looking over Central Park. When Merilee offers her home for Hoagy’s use while she’s shooting on location, hope blossoms that he might finally get some real work done… and solidify their rekindling romance. 
  Then Hoagy receives a call from his literary agent asking if he can meet with publishing’s most ruthless and reviled editor, Sylvia James, for a drink at the Algonquin Hotel. After disclosing that aging literary genius Addison James—also Sylvia’s father and main client—has not in fact written his last two bestselling historical sagas, Sylvia reveals her suspicions that Addison’s assistant Tommy O’Brien—the true author—has run away with their most recent manuscript and is holding it for ransom. Tempted by Sylvia’s offer to bid a hefty advance for his novel-in-progress, Hoagy agrees to help unearth Tommy’s sudden disappearance. If only he’d known exactly what he was getting himself into, he might’ve saved himself from the ensuing grief that follows in his hot pursuit of Tommy. But then, that wouldn’t be a normal day in the life of Hoagy. 
  With clattering claims of a mugging, a stolen manuscript, and three murders, now it’s up to Hoagy and his short-legged sidekick Lulu to unravel this baffling, bizarre case.
