A sunset wedding in Kona. An ugly secret discovered on an iPhone. Experimental philosophical marriage counseling. Time travel. Diver Neurons and Angel Neurons separated by Sea and Sky. Banshee and the Sperm Whale takes the reader on a journey into the unconscious mind of Martin, a biracial chef from Denver who suffers from a particular kind of overabundance. Along the way, a modern allegory unfolds, and everyday notions about self-knowledge, the nature of good and evil, and possibility of finding meaning and spiritual significance in the face of inexorable uncertainty are turned inside-out.

Lure of the Trade Winds: Two Women Sailing the Pacific Ocean transports readers to a place where few have gone before: aboard a thirty-four-foot boat, cruising the Pacific Ocean. Join author Jeannine Talley, as she and her sailing partner, Joy Smith, embark on the journey of a lifetime. Each day is a new adventure aboard the Banshee. Talley and her partner are stranded on a reef in Vanuatu, contract malaria, rescue a wrecked boat, visit a skull site in the Solomon Islands, and journey to remote islands whose inhabitants still bear the scars of a brutal colonial past. When their electronic navigational equipment is lost in a storm, they must use sextant navigation, depending entirely on sun sights, to make a long passage north from the South Pacifi c to Micronesia. In Lure of the Trade Winds, the two women travel to some of the most remote areas of the world and interact with the inhabitants within their social settings. They unravel some of the world's mysteries, plunge into the unknown, and come face to face with some of the darker aspects of legacy of colonialism. The tale of their travels proves once again that the spirit of adventure knows no bounds.

In an alternate universe, on Earth’s sister planet Gaia... When presidential science advisor Melanie Gryzolski and an immortal alien called Jeemis are abducted by a pair of BEWBs, the entire world is riveted to the six hundred mile, forced road trip to Poke’s Peak that follows. Craving immortality, lawyer Pitch Al hired the kidnappers, and assigned them to uncover the hidden site of the TDS, a mysterious entity that could hold the secret to ever-lasting life, and a cure for Gaian’s endemic stupidity-causing virus too. A second immortal alien, Robulus, teams up with Melanie’s father Matt, and a television journalist to reach the TDS first, to prepare for its unveiling to the world. The make-believe media ignites a firestorm of speculative fear-mongering lunacy, and soon thousands are speeding to Poke’s Peak, to see or stop the Unveiling, including the celebrity-studded Sacred Stars Temple; a vicious motorcycle gang called Mel’s Angels; a cell of dwarf terrorists; Crime Blaster XL-5, a dedicated superhero; a vegan assassin and a bevvy of personal injury attorneys, not to mention bad drivers. What could go wrong?

What Happens in Jamaica, Stays in Jamaica? Except in this tell-all, cheeky guide to the world's naughtiest resort, Hedonism II. Everyone returns from Hedonism II with at least one good story no one at home believes. Is Hedonism II a retirement home for worn-out swingers? Is it a testosterone tour-de-force with too few eligible single women to clamor over? Is it a cult that sucks away all your vacation time? Well, the last one might be true. Learn why Hedonism II has a 90% repeat guest rate--even though the facilities are tired, the food is mediocre, and the beach sand hurts your feet--if you are still standing after a week. The Hedo myths: Only young singles go to Hedonism II. People walk around naked everywhere. Open sex is rampant. Someone will try to steal your wife. Every myth has its truth...but Hedonism II is 50% couples--and most guests are over 30, full nudity is only allowed on one beach, the hotel does not condone public sex (but it happens), and your wife--well, that's her choice. But at Hedo you will see what you've never seen before. And you might do it too. Here are the truths and tips that will make your vacation to Hedonism II the most fun trip you'll ever take--again and again. FYI: The resort Hedonism II did not authorize this book; the book includes the good, bad, and the ugly. Although the resort's owners tried to stop distribution of the 1st ed. of the book in federal court in 1998, the author enjoys Hedonism II as a vacation destination and continues to travel there regularly.
