  Rising Charity - A Jesse...

  It'd been a long time; a lot of things had changed. Since sailing away from Cane Garden Bay, Jesse McDermitt had changed. Waking one morning, the smell of rum still on his breath, Jesse realizes he doesn't much like the change anymore. The mask that he'd freely put on didn't fit right. It was the mask of a drifting, womanizing boat bum, and it concealed his inner turmoil. Peeling off the mask, he soon realizes what a mess he's in. 
  Weeks of rigorous, open-ocean swims and increasingly deeper free dives helped put the strength back in his body. But physical strength wasn't what was lacking. It wasn't what had finally pulled him into a lifestyle that wasn't his. He'd lost focus on the important things in life, the need to be part of something better. 
  In a secluded anchorage, far from civilization, Jesse powers up his satellite phone for the first time in weeks. There is a message from Charity Styles, asking him for a meeting. She has a line on something they both need, something to focus on. A mission. 
  From award-winning story-teller Wayne Stinnett comes this 14th novel in his exciting Caribbean Adventure Series. Taking the reader from the deep-water canyons of Exuma Sound to the sport-fishing Mecca that is Bimini, Stinnett spins a fascinating tale of redemption and vengeance.

  What if Déjà vu was just a fleeting window into a reality with different choices made? Where dreams and hallucinations are enduring connections to a world long diverged. Could the passage to those realms be found again? So that we may learn to navigate away from the nightmares that lie ahead. The Desert Provides. The Desert of the Real is an anthology of short stories from worlds both similar and stark to our own. Worlds where angels and demons dance in veiled wars, where ambition and science collide to control the human experience, and where we discover others amongst the dark forest that is our starry night. This collection of eleven tales weaves its journey across a blend of narratives and mediums, each exploring the possibilities of literature through the lens of alternative history, fantasy, and science fiction. Some may be closer to home than we think.
