  The author of the New York Times bestselling novel The Gates of the Alamo, the sweeping Texas history Big Wonderful Thing, and decades of incisive journalism, Stephen Harrigan is an adept writer skilled in crafting memorable characters. From this singular voice now comes a collection of essays tackling the most personal, and yet most expansive, themes of all: identity, memory, and time itself. 
   
  An Anchor in the Sea of Time unfolds individual stories but also a larger narrative about the development and distortions of history. In one essay, a painting on his grandparents' wall is seared in Harrigan's young mind. In another, a group trip to Vietnam stirs up a sobering confrontation with class privilege among Americans who fought there and others, like Harrigan, who did their best not to. The award-winning essay "Off Course" reflects on the father Harrigan never met. And Harrigan’s reporting about the Karankawas, an Indigenous group from the Texas coast once thought to be extinct, takes listeners deep into the recesses of collective forgetting and offers glimpses of the possibility of recovery. A vivid encounter with lost selves, vanished worlds, and futures yet unrealized, An Anchor in the Sea of Time is perhaps the most personal book yet from this beloved writer.

  ‘A witty, sometimes heart-stopping, and always engrossing path from “boy pilot” to elite aviator.’ – Jaundiced Eye columnist, William Saunderson-Meyer 
  Robert Schapiro always wanted to fly. Challenging anti-Semitic bullying, mockery and fierce rivalry, he realised his dream by earning his wings in the South African Air Force and going on to command C-47 Dakotas in the Border War. 
  He joined South African Airways (SAA) in 1979, soon learning it was a time when SAA crews were dominated by the ‘Royal Family’ – captains who thought themselves above the rules and who spent time overseas on drinking binges or coaxing air hostesses to be their ‘airline wives’. 
  When sanctions forced SAA to cut back on its routes, he was seconded to Japan’s Nippon Cargo Airlines, routinely flying between New York and Tokyo and grappling with often-hilarious cultural misunderstandings as he adapted to a Japanese style of operations. Schapiro is disarmingly frank about life as an international pilot. He divulges near misses, emergency landings, navigation errors, passenger shenanigans (seat sex, anyone?), how pilots control rowdy travellers and absorbing detail about the technique of flying different aircraft types. 
  Uplifting and humorous, his memoir offers a rare slice of aviation history.

  Karen Read Trial - A True Crime...

  KAREN READ TRIAL examines a controversial criminal case that exposed serious weaknesses in law enforcement, prosecution, and local authority.
   
  The book centers on the death of John O’Keefe and the case involving Karen Read. From the earliest stages, the investigation raised unresolved questions. Despite the lack of clear, conclusive evidence, early assumptions shaped the direction of the case and were rarely reconsidered. Over time, those assumptions became entrenched, even as contradictions and gaps continued to emerge.
   
  This was not a failure limited to a single moment. The case developed within an environment where accountability was inconsistent and scrutiny often discouraged. Relationships between institutions and the surrounding community influenced outcomes, while critical questions were sidelined instead of addressed.
   
  Beyond the central case, the book places these events within a broader pattern of investigative failures, overlooked evidence, and ongoing legal controversies. In several instances, serious procedural breakdowns persisted, requiring outside intervention only after significant damage had already occurred.
   
  Drawing from documented records and verified case material, KAREN READ TRIAL shows how justice can falter—not through coordinated intent, but through hesitation, silence, and institutional self-protection.
   
  What happened here was not an isolated incident. It reflects a larger issue affecting communities when authority goes largely unquestioned and responsibility is delayed.
   
  This book presents the facts, the unanswered questions, and the consequences of allowing uncertainty to replace accountability.
