  A modern day love story of two people finding themselves unequally yoked in marriage in more ways than one, who daily face the challenges imposed by the high intensity environment of a Naval Aviator trying to balance God, country and family and not necessarily in that order. 
  THE LAST KISS is a gripping real-life memoir of a US Navy Carrier Pilot flying dangerous missions against Russian submarines in the North Atlantic during The Cold War. It was a very perilous trade, as he puts it in his own words in the second page of his book: 
  "I spent most of my career landing very fast jets on very tiny decks in the middle of the night in the middle of very big oceans" 
  "His book is packed with operational details and piercing insights into the United States Navy and its role in the defense of America, but it's also a poignant personal account of life and loss, God and Man, and the ultimate price we all pay for true love. It's so good I wish I'd written it."

  Lou and JonBenét - A Legendary...

  On Christmas Night 1996, six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey was murdered in her family's home in Boulder, Colorado. A ransom note was found, but it was hours before her father, John, found her body in the basement. She had been strangled with a garrote and her skull was fractured. The media sensationalized the tragic death of the "child beauty queen" and public speculation and rumors ran rampant. What followed was one of the most notorious unsolved murder investigations in American history. 
   
   
   
  Boulder police fixated on JonBenet's parents as suspects. Needing investigative help, the Boulder DA brought in legendary homicide detective Lou Smit. However, he was soon disenchanted with law enforcement's obsession with the Ramsey family as the primary suspects, excluding other possibilities. Smit resigned but continued to work on his own time, and at his own expense, determined to find justice for JonBenet. He determined the Ramsey family was not involved in her death but died in 2010 before he could identify the killer. Along with a handful of retired detectives, Smit's lifelong friend and colleague, John Anderson, and Smit's family continue to pursue justice based on his work. In Lou and JonBenet, Anderson tells the story of Smit's investigation and why the Smit family team now believes that the killer can be identified.

  The Man Who Consumed Everything...

  Tarrare, a name that echoes through medical history as the embodiment of insatiable hunger, was a Frenchman whose life and condition baffled both his contemporaries and generations of scientists that followed. Born in 1772 in Lyon, France, to a poor farming family, Tarrare’s early years were marked by an extraordinary appetite that seemed to grow with him, quickly surpassing the needs of a typical child. His insatiable hunger was not a mere curiosity—it was a symptom of a condition that would haunt him throughout his short life, leaving behind a trail of mystery, tragedy, and fascination. 
    
  Tarrare’s hunger was unlike anything the world had ever seen. From his teenage years onward, his body demanded far more than the normal intake of food; he consumed vast quantities that would overwhelm any ordinary person. In a single sitting, he could eat the food intended for fifteen people. His consumption ranged from the normal—meats and vegetables—to the bizarre and horrifying: live animals, including cats, snakes, lizards, and even puppies. The most unsettling aspect of his condition was his ability to devour inanimate objects, such as stones, corks, and litter. He seemed to have an insatiable urge to eat anything in sight, a drive that could not be quelled by typical methods of nourishment. 
    
  Despite consuming vast amounts of food, Tarrare’s body remained gaunt, almost skeletal, which perplexed doctors and those around him. His unusual condition led him to be admitted to a military hospital, where he became the subject of study by doctors intrigued by the sheer scope of his hunger. Tarrare’s case was not merely one of gluttony; it was an intricate puzzle that pointed to deeper medical and psychological conditions, which, at the time, were beyond the understanding of the medical community.

  Now Beacon Now Sea - A Son's Memoir

  When Christopher Sorrentino's mother died in 2017, it marked the end of a journey that had begun eighty years earlier in the South Bronx. Victoria's life took her to the heart of New York's vibrant mid-century downtown artistic scene to the sedate campus of Stanford and finally back to Brooklyn—a journey witnessed by a son who watched, helpless, as she grew more and more isolated, distancing herself from everyone and everything she'd ever loved. In examining the mystery of his mother's life, from her dysfunctional marriage to his heedless father, the writer Gilbert Sorrentino, to her ultimate withdrawal from the world, Christopher excavates his own memories and family folklore in an effort to discover her dreams, understand her disappointments, and peel back the ways in which she seemed forever trapped between two identities: the Puerto Rican girl identified on her birth certificate as Black and the white woman she had seemingly decided to become. Meanwhile Christopher experiences his own transformation, emerging from under his father's shadow and his mother's thumb to establish his identity as a writer and individual—one who would soon make his own missteps and mistakes. Unfolding against the captivating backdrop of a vanished New York—a dangerous, decaying, but liberated and potentially liberating place—Now Beacon, Now Sea is a matchless portrait of the beautiful, painful messiness of life and the transformative power of even conflicted grief.
