  Legends are somewhat deceitful. Leaving no room for sequels. Books never written. Stories never told. Until now. 
  It is the late 1800s, and Paul Cunningham is about to establish himself as one of the most iconic American folklore figures of all time by logging his way through the northern United States. What he doesn't realize is the ruinous cost of his conquest. 
  From singer songwriter David Nash, a heart felt reimagining tale of the folk legend Paul Bunyan. This is a novel that was meant be heard. Read by the author, The Man in the Pines is Nash's first novel. It is a tale of demi-god strength, love lost, hubris, and destruction. It is a story of conservation and, hopefully, redemption. It is the life of Paul Bunyan you've never heard before. 
  Included is a special rendition of the song that started it all, "Paul Bunyan's Lament," introduced and performed by the author.

  The Treasures of Alexander the Great have intrigued people ever since he amassed them after his victory at Damascus. The lure of such vast amounts of wealth has taunted people for centuries. Many risked their lives to acquire them. Many gave their lives to protect them. 
  This story takes place in the twelfth century at the end of the Third Crusade, when European monarchs strove for empirical dominance. It was a time when life was brutal, men were courageous, and women were at the behest of these men’s desires. 
  Crusader Gold follows the fortunes and misfortunes of those who defended Alexander’s treasures, and the Crusaders who went to great lengths to seize them. Those French Knights intended to use their hoard to fund future humanitarian ventures across Europe. But as history has shown, the relocation of the treasures to places of safekeeping has led to the mysteries that have enshrouded them to this day. 
  When the young Alexandrian, Yasheed, breaks his oath to the protection of Alexander’s treasures, to spare his and his father’s life from the gallows, he sets a course that changes his own future as much as it does for his executioners. The knowledge Yasheed shares with the French General Pierre Favre and the French Knight Colonel Bertrand Resolu, sparks a thrilling adventure into the mysteries of hidden treasures, and the lengths men will take, to possess them. When the stakes were high enough, lives were expendable, and combat was brutal. 
  Crusader Gold is a story of courage, commitment, camaraderie and daring. 
  However, it is also a story about Alexander’s treasures and the spirit and determination of the men and women committed to their protection. 
  Following Boomerang Gold and Masquerade Gold, this is the final book in the “Gold” trilogy.
