This is the first chapter of a broadly autobiographical novel, the story of an Alaska commercial crab fisherman who sustains a traumatic brain injury while fishing in the Bering Sea. It follows Eric Holloway from his days as a vital young fisherman, through his accident and time in hospital and rehab, and recounts his struggle to find a meaningful life with diability. Though somewhat curmudgeonly and embittered, he is funny, engaging, and sharp.

"Things I Never Said Out Loud"
These are truths I was never taught to speak. Here lie the words I swallowed, the pain I buried, and the questions they told me not to ask. For the unheard. For the unseen. For the ones who feel too much in a world that tells them to feel less. I write for you. I write for me.Lengkap
Flip Sides Of The Same Coin We Call Life
This romance autobiography is an accumulation of over 15 years of writings. I'm 72 and have experienced many wonderful, beautiful, educational, and enlightening moments. I've also endured the dark night of the soul where nothing means anything, all hope is gone, unrelenting loneliness and extremely deep re-occurring depressions. Flip sides of the same coin we call life. I've survived impossible accidents that should have killed me. I've filed bankruptcy twice, loosing half a million dollars of real estate. I haven't had a car in 10 years, rent a furnished apartment and all I own is a cellphone, television, and computer. I've had 20 different careers. Naming a few, I've been a foreman in a steel foundry, automobile salesman, district manager overseeing a 15-million-dollar territory, owner of a television/appliance retail company, store manager responsible for 80 employees, retail manager in the cellular industry, and a dealer for one of the largest casinos in the nation. Some of the wise decisions I thought I was making turned out to be really ridiculous. When writing these down, I wondered how on earth could I have possibly been that stupid. You'll find many that are quite hilarious. I started jotting down thoughts on a cell phone memo pad over 15 years ago. These writings have turned into eighteen manuscripts. An author has the natural talent to paint pictures with words; I do not possess that skill set. Quite by accident, I've developed into a writer. We are entering into an era of magnificent beauty, perfect harmony, perpetual joy, growing wisdom, pure truth, unending peace and unconditional love. You'll read of miracles that I and others have personally witnessed. There are no other logical explanations for what occurred. I've documented everything as accurately as memory permits. Read with an open mind and develop your own conclusions. Our awakening transcendence is occurring now. BobLengkap
It's funny 'cause it's true
Plot: Maxwell James "Max" Xavier is a young stand up comedian dealing with his steadily declining mental health worsened further after his girlfriend dumps him for another man. This novel is part autobiographical, part satire, depicting the author's life in an exaggerated manner as well as criticizing other social issues, all the while keeping the realism of the story. The characters, however, are caricatures of the people the author knew. Not that it matters, anyway. They wouldn't care. They won't read this. Genre: Black comedy, Satire R-Rated. For mature readers only.Lengkap
At Least We Have Good Weather: A Life of Love and Loss
An autobiographical tale of love, hope, and perseverance, my debut novel begins at the moment of my cruelest heartache that left me stunned and confused. In order to understand and deal with what happened, I take a darkly comic journey back through my life, examining more than 50 moments of true love, epic gestures, romance and foolish decisions. From tear -jerking stories, to heartbreaking awkward hilarity, the book reveals stories of my greatest loves to life changing moments with strangers. It's a story about living life against all the odds (and rules)and ultimately a story about hope because sometimes bad lives, happen to good people. The book evokes two forms of storytelling, a story being told in real time, and flashbacks over my life, with both timeline finally meeting up in one moment that changes everything.Lengkap
The Ship
Rusty tankers, mad captains, and a crew half-starved, half-crazy. From the first step on a sinking deck to the last watch as Black Crow, Jack Tanner's life at sea is a fight against storms, corruption, hunger, and the very men meant to lead him. Across oceans and decades, he faces exploding tempers, bribes paid in Marlboros, mutinous crews, phantom captains, and kitchens that serve more poison than food. Ashore, the chaos is no better, gangs, scams, and strange cities where survival depends on wit and luck. But beneath the madness runs a deeper current: a family legacy of sailors, fathers' stories told between ports, and the question Jack can't escape, will the sea break him, or will he finally break free? True stories. Dark humor. Raw survival. This is not a sailor's dream. It's his curse, and his confession.
