Sinossi

Timothy Dexter (January 22, 1747 – October 23, 1806) was an American businessman noted for his writing and eccentricity. At age 50, Dexter authored the book A Pickle for the Knowing Ones,in which he complained about politicians, the clergy, and his wife. The book contains 8,847 words and 33,864 letters, but without any punctuation and with unorthodox spelling and capitalization. One section begins:

Ime the first Lord in the younited States of A mercary Now of Newburyport it is the voise of the peopel and I cant Help it and so Let it goue

The first edition was self-published in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1802. Dexter initially distributed his book for free, but it became popular and was reprinted eight times. The second edition was printed in Newburyport in 1805. In the second edition, Dexter responded to complaints about the book's lack of punctuation by adding an extra page of 11 lines of punctuation marks with the instruction that printers and readers could insert them wherever needed—or, in his words, "thay may peper and solt it as they plese".

Vigilant Charity - A Charity...

Wayne Stinnett, Kimberli...

Charity Styles has been wandering the Pacific aimlessly aboard her beloved sloop, Wind Dancer, and only recently returned to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Entering a secluded cove in the Sea of Abaco, in the Bahamas, she runs into an old acquaintance and the woman’s young daughter.  
The two have a few things in common, not the least of which are four men’s bodies at the bottom of a 600-foot-deep blue hole on Hoffman's Cay. The reunion is fraught with “what ifs.” What if Charity had enjoyed a normal childhood like her friend’s young daughter? What if her mother hadn’t abandoned her as a child? What if her father hadn’t died when she was in college? What if Victor hadn’t been murdered?  
Just as Charity begins to relax and truly enjoy the companionship of a good friend, disaster strikes. In an instant, she's faced with a terrible choice that will push Charity to her limits. Her action could mean the difference between life and death for both mother and daughter.  
When Charity’s two worlds collide violently, a drug running operation is exposed, as well as a slick southern lawyer. Will Charity handle things in her usual way?

TEASER
"They did it in the shower. Steam poured up over the foggy glass, then her hands hit up against it and wiped off a lot of the steam by accident because she was paying so much attention to doing it. Through the parts where there was no steam on the glass, you could see their bodies going at it like a deli worker lost in thought about his ex wife, making a club sandwich and angrily slapping on extra slices of turkey."
PRAISE
“If I had a nickel for every time I got aroused while reading this titillating hunk of words, I’d have $46.35. That would be 927 arousals plus $33.40 in profit. A great investment.” – Annabelle Faltado, CPA
“Genius. But not in that way where the geniuses are studying all the time and wear bowties and are totally nerdy. The kind of genius that has raging sexual desires and looks so handsome and smells so nice you would think he’s a stupid idiot who goes to the gym all the time but the joke’s on you because actually he’s really a mental genius.” – Kevin, Jeremy’s best friend
“Hands down, the sexiest thing I’ve ever read while sitting on the can.” – Paul Simon
