Master William and the Finman
Master William and The Finman By Robert P. Arthur
A Supernatural Sea Story set in the Days of the Golden Age of Piracy
During The Golden Age of Piracy, twelve-year-old Master William, leaves his dead mother, thought to be a Selkie, to sail the sea lanes of the world and evade conscription in the British Navy, He is shipped out of his home on the rocky islands of the Orkneys to become a pirate.
He is followed, unseen, by a Finman, a mythical sorcerer of the sea, who directs him by blowing him through time and space, if need be, for a secret end. The Finman follows William’s ship in a kayak, able to cross vast seas with three “thwarts” (strokes) of a paddle, now and then opening the bag of winds around his neck to blow William through time and space to learn a mastery of the sea and men.
Young William must travel to the age of the most notorious female pirate of history, the older Anne Bonny, with whom he falls in love, and is directed to achieve his destiny among such rogues as Blackbeard, Henry Morgan, and Calico Jack Rackham.
When Master William’s search for Anne Bonny nears its end and he learns she is waiting for him to come:
“Thy wedding party,” whispered the old man, nudging me in the ribs with an elbow.
“Thy bride, Anne Bonny, awaits ye in the village.”
At these words, I assured myself I was dreaming. I had imagined a number of possible first meetings with Anne that ranged from romantic and tearful reconciliations to me abducting her in a wheat sack. But marching into an Indian village at the head of a wedding party of savages to claim her willing and regal hand had never crossed my mind.
( Arthur 437)
It’s a huge “Sot Weed Factor” of a novel, filled with charm and comedy, as well as violence and lore of the sea. The book was five years in the making and won first place in fiction at the Virginia Writer’s Conference.
Like the author's internationally acclaimed Hymn to the Chesapeake, Master William displays the author's encyclopedic knowledge of the sea combined with his stunning gift for lyrical language that instantly transports readers to experience a different time and place and makes them reluctant to leave.
Robert Peebles "Bob" Arthur (born 1943) is a poet, a novelist, a short story writer, a playwright, a critic, a director, and a professor. He has written and published over twenty books and plays and 1,500 articles on the arts. A finalist for Poet Laureate of Virginia in 2008 and 2010, he remains best known for his book of poems, Hymn to the Chesapeake, the best-selling book in the history of Road Publishers, on which one reviewer commented:
“It makes me nostalgic for places I've never been.”

The Human Snare
The Human Snare
The world is dying. Wildlife photographer Rick Wood finds himself asking difficult questions about critical losses to global biodiversity.Poached to near extinction, African elephants are rapidly vanishing from the savanna. In China, giant pandas struggle to recover from habitat loss and wildlife trafficking.Readers join Rick's odyssey to find clues in Sichuan Province's misty hills, with the Maasai of Tanzania, on a crocodile-infested river in Costa Rica, and among herds of bison in Yellowstone. If he can find answers, there could be hope for solutions.Ultimately it's a race against a tightening human snare with everything hanging in the balance.Extinction looms on the horizon. Is there time to save us all from the human snare?
From an editorial review by Jack Magnus for Readers’ Favorite:"The Human Snare is a non-fiction wildlife conservation book written and with art by Rick Wood. Wood is a wildlife photographer and journalist. He’s also filmed documentaries in his efforts to bring the plight of marine mammals and turtles to the public’s attention. When Cecil the lion was slaughtered in 2015, there was an international outcry. Cecil had been safely ensconced in the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe for 13 years until an American dentist paid $50,000 for a guided hunt which led to Cecil being shot, beheaded, and skinned. Wood wanted to understand how we got to this point, how poaching was leading to the deaths of not only Cecil but a significant portion of the more than 20,000 elephants who die annually. The first stop on his four-year effort to get to the bottom of this issue was Tanzania, where poachers and conservationists are at loggerheads, and the elephants are caught in the crossfire. He soon discovered there were no easy answers. Poverty is widespread in the country, leading some to poach to feed their families and simply survive. "

The Secret of the Green Anole

For Dr. Tim Hill—surgeon, husband, and father of two—the regenerative ability of the green anole lizard to regrow its tail if the appendage is detached is a phenomenon that, if unlocked, could sharpen his already impressive skill set and potentially end the suffering of countless patients. Family has always come first for Tim, so when his obsession causes him to fall into the clutches of a lurking darkness, it will be his own flesh and blood that is transformed by his terrifying medical treatment protocol. In the Hill mansion, the boundary that separates good and evil ceases to exist and patient outcomes prove impossible to predict—and control.
The Secret of the Green Anole draws on the transformative yet gruesome operating room to diagnose the turmoil that resides within even the healthiest families.

Hush Money
HUSH MONEY:
Colorado Springs authors Delilah Harris, Jacquie Abram, and Deborah Harris chronicle the story of a resilient Black woman fighting systemic racism in Corporate America in their new book “HUSH MONEY”
Local authors Delilah Harris, Jacquie Abram, and Deborah Harris, recently released an amazing new book in “HUSH MONEY,” where they narrate the story of a twenty-eight-year-old Black woman and her struggles with systemic racism in her workplace. Inspired by true events, “HUSH MONEY: How One Woman Proved Systemic Racism in her Workplace and Kept her Job” is currently available on Amazon.
The issue of racism has been a century-long problem that unfortunately seems unresolvable. And although several initiatives have been put in place to address this scourge due to the Black Lives Matter movement and the racial reckoning occurring around the world, the systemic nature of racism has made it even more difficult to effectively address the issue and its inherent problems. In “Hush Money,” the authors shine more light on the issue with the case study of Ebony, a strong, resilient Black woman who was living in poverty with her mother, struggling to make ends meet, and longing for a chance to live the American dream.
After years of working dead-end jobs, Ebony obtained employment with an organization that put her on the path to accomplishing her goal of living the American dream. But things quickly took a turn for the worst when Ebony's boss resigned unexpectedly and was replaced with a racist one, and the American dream, the dream that made her believe she would have the same opportunities as everyone else, became a living nightmare as she was abused, humiliated, and stripped of all dignity, confidence, and strength year after year.
Eventually, Ebony found courage, learned how to fight back through trial and error, and made the transition from racial discrimination victim to racial discrimination victor.
In writing “HUSH MONEY: How One Woman Proved Systemic Racism in her Workplace and Kept her Job”, the authors seek to inspire readers to rise above any challenge and fight every form of injustice.
