| ISBN10-13: 161035219X : 9781610352192 |
| Its perhaps the most famous highway in the world California State Highway 1, a narrow strip of roadway between the cliffs and the ocean on the very edge of the continent. Blessed with spectacular natural landscapes, inspiring ocean views and the echoes of California history, Highway 1 is a scenic drive like no other. The sequel to the authors acclaimed book An Artist and a Writer Travel Highway 1 North, An Artist and a Writer Travel Highway 1 Central takes the reader on a unique literary and artistic journey through the natural and man-made beauty of Californias central coast. Lavishly illustrated with over 100 original full-color Pat Hunter watercolors depicting gorgeous landscapes and architectural treasures, this is a thinking persons travel guide that reveals hidden treasures and unexpected delights. Written as a memoir of the authors tour along the highway, the book takes an appealingly idiosyncratic perspective, as the authors record their explorations off the beaten path, their serendipitous discoveries, and their personal reactions to the places and people they encounter. A satisfying and contemplative mixture of captivating artistry and personal essay, An Artist and a Writer Travel Highway 1 Central reinvents the travel guide as a literary form. |
| Reviews: |
|
Highly recommended for California collections is Pat Hunter and Janice Stevens' "An Artist and a Writer Travel Highway 1 Central," which packs in over a hundred color Hunter watercolors capturing images of the California central coast as Stevens provides the insights on California history and culture. There are plenty of travel guides that cover the region, but none adopt the unique approach of blending an artist and a writer's personal journey off the beaten path in this particular area. The result is a production that may be enjoyed as an artistic landscape collection, a work of California history, a travelogue, or all three. California collections will find it a lively, appealing addition. --California Bookwatch

| Title: Apprehensions & Convictions |
| Sub-title: Adventures of a 50-Year-Old Rookie Cop |
| By (author): Mark Johnson. |
| ISBN10-13: 1610352645 : 9781610352642 |
| What makes a fifty-year-old man quit a highly successful career in charity work to take on the low-paid, dangerous job of being a police officer? When Mark Johnson left the United Way to become the oldest rookie in the Mobile, Alabama, police department, he didnt just have to adjust to a new career -- he had to adjust to an entirely new life of danger, violence, and stark moral choices. This is Johnsons explosive memoir of his second career as a cop. Going from fund-raising with socialites to confronting armed suspects in the streets, Johnson found that poverty and crime were no longer social issues but matters of life and death. A civilized man whose first instinct is to help people in trouble, Johnson learned that some men can only be subdued with brute force and some chronic criminals refuse to be redeemed. Defying the skepticism of his wife, the derision of the younger cops who called him Pawpaw, and his own self-doubts, Johnson rose to become a detective and a highly decorated officer. 'Apprehensions and Convictions' also tells a personal story of how Johnson overcame his own demons to find a new sense of purpose and identity in midlife. From a troubled drink- and drug-fueled youth, to dealing with both his birth and adoptive parents, to struggling to find a steady career path, Johnsons story is of a man who found his courage and changed himself. An intense, sweeping narrative that explores the frustrations of an overprivileged youth, delves deeply into the dysfunction of the Mobile ghetto, and ends with an armed standoff between Johnson and an escaped cop-killer, this is a compelling new memoir of a remarkable life. |

| Title: As the Crow Dies |
| By (author): Kenneth Butcher |
| ISBN10-13: 1610353617 : 9781610353618 |
| A bookish police detective and his roller-derby-star partner investigate a quirky mystery involving superintelligent animals, government conspiracy and murder in the delightful new mystery As the Crow Dies.When a body is found in the River Arts District of Asheville, North Carolina, the man on the case is police lieutenant Ira Segal, recently returned to semi-active status after being shot in the line of duty and struggling with depression and PTSD. Segal maintains his precarious composure by carrying paperback books in his coat pockets, changing authors with his mood Elmore Leonard on good days, Ernest Hemingway on bad ones. Segal isnt sure hes up to investigating a murder, and neither is his partner, military veteran and local roller derby star Sgt. Dinah Dinosaur Rudisill. Segal discovers that the victim worked for the mysterious start-up company Creatures 2.0, which trains animals to acquire uncanny capabilities. Creature 2.0s eccentric founder, Francis Elah, has gone missing, and no one can find himnot even Elahs top client, the Office of Naval Intelligence. As Segal and Rudisill investigate the murder and Elahs disappearance, they encounter the bizarre animals Elah trained, including a raccoon who rolls cigarettes, pigeons who follow a priest to church, and a superintelligent crow named Richard, who has a disconcerting way of bringing relevant evidence to Segal and Rudisills attention. When their investigation leads to a shadowy military contractor, more murders, and a threat to national security, Segal and Rudisill face a dangerous confrontation, and the only thing they can trust is each other. Witty, engaging and fast paced, As the Crow Dies is a mystery that veers from the norm in charmingly unexpected ways. |

| Title: Be the Awesome Man |
| Sub-title: A Mans Guide to Achieving Discipline, Success, and Happiness |
| By (author): Dennis Gazarek |
| ISBN10-13: 1610353374 : 9781610353373 |
| Written for a generation of young men in crisis, Be the Awesome Man preaches a return to traditional male values of discipline, honour and accomplishment. Be the Awesome Man is a diagnosis and a prescription for todays young men ages 16 to 25, who are finding it difficult to enter adulthood. Young men are underachieving in unprecedented numbers. More and more young men are not attaining standard benchmarks of maturity, such as entering and graduating from higher education, finding a career, establishing their financial independence or living on their own. Drawing on his real-world experience as a coach, mentor and father, author Dennis Gazarek teaches that young men must return to age-old ideals that have inspired generations of high-achieving men: virtue, self-discipline, moral integrity and postponing immediate pleasures in order to accomplish more important goals. Written in a sensible, easy-to-read format, Be the Awesome Man exposes the roots of male underachievement and provides specific plans, practices, benchmarks and exercises to guide young men, as well as their parents, teachers, ministers, coaches, and other mentors. Be the Awesome Man covers topics that every young man struggles with, including overcoming fear, becoming self-disciplined, developing high ethical standards, and identifying ones core values. Combining old-fashioned wisdom, a critical analysis of modern culture and a tough-minded program of character development, Be the Awesome Man is a must-read guide for young men who want to achieve lasting success and personal happiness. |

| Title: Behind San Quentin's Walls |
| Sub-title: The History of Californias Legendary Prison & its Inmates, 1851-1900 |
| By (author): William B Secrest |
| ISBN10-13: 1610352211 : 9781610352215 |
| Its one of the most famous prisons in American history, featured in countless movies and novels. Its inmates have included such diverse characters as Charles Manson, Sirhan Sirhan, Eldridge Cleaver, Merle Haggard, and Neal Cassady. Its the one of the oldest continually operating institutions of California state government. San Quentin State Prison is as iconic a symbol of California as the Golden Gate Bridge or the Hollywood sign, yet few people today know the prisons origins or colorful early history. Noted Old West historian William B Secrest uncovers the forgotten beginnings of San Quentin in this book. Going back to original source material of public records and contemporary newspaper accounts, Secrest tells of San Quentins unlikely beginnings as a real estate scheme and its essential role in taming the violent and lawless California of Gold Rush days. Behind San Quentins Walls presents the history of San Quentin as a microcosm of the settlement of California. Planned during the wildest days of Barbary Coast anarchy and Vigilante Committee lynch law in 1850s San Francisco, the state prison at San Quentin was the new states first attempt to impose the rule of law on a violent frontier society. Featuring numerous citations from contemporary accounts, plus period photos, illustrations, newspaper clippings, and maps, Secrest chronicles the political calculations that created San Quentin; the outsize egos of the men who built it; the mismanagement and frequent escapes that marred San Quentins early years; and the notorious ruffians and cutthroats who were housed there. Filled with exciting true stories of gunfights, brawls, prison riots, daring escapes, and intrepid manhunts, this is also a rip-roaring Wild West tale of how men and women with immense talent for both good and evil tamed a new state and each other. The book offers a bold mix of serious history and lively writing that no fan of Western history should miss. |

| Title: Black Bart -- Boulevardier Bandit |
| Sub-title: The Saga of California's Most Mysterious Stagecoach Robber & the Men Who Sought to Capture Him |
| By (author): George Hoeper |
| ISBN10-13: 1884995055 : 9781884995057 |
| California Gold Country historian George Hoeper reveals what promises to be the final piece to the 100-year-old puzzle of the infamous stagecoach robber Black Bart. For over eight years the mysterious and very polite Charles Boles (alias Black Bart) plagued Wells Fargo & Co. with a string of at least 28 stagecoach robberies. During theis time, Bart, who operated on foot with an unloaded shotgun and never robbed stagecoach passengers or drivers, soon became something of a folk legend. Between robberies Bart would live the life of a boulevardier in San Francisco, hobnobbing with the city's best. In 1888 he disappeared from the Palace Hotel in Visalia, CA, never to be heard from again. Speculation has placed Bart in many places, including the Eastern Seaboard, Mexico and Japan, but according to information Hoeper has uncovered, it is more likely the legendary Black Bart met his demise in the dry Nevada wasteland and today rests in a sandy, unmarked grave. |
