Book Description
David D. Allyn has led a life that others can only dream about. Adventurer, traveler, sailor, aviator, explorer, and big-hearted bon vivant, Dave came of age while sailing around the world on the last voyage of the tall Brigantine Yankee with all the accompanying tales of drudgery and heat punctuated by terrifying gales, tension amongst the crew members, and a too-close encounter with a one-thousand-pound bull shark. Then there was the time he survived emergency surgery on the ship's kitchen table. An adrenaline junky, Dave also flew planes back in the days when you needed a helmet and goggles to do it. Aviators and historians will delight in his vivid accounts of flying vintage aircraft-139 different types in all, as well as his stories of collecting a large fleet of famous old aircraft and establishing a fixed base operation-it's still there: Dolphin Aviation in Sarasota, Florida-and a museum. These stories aren't just about boats and aircraft, however, they're also about people and pristine landscapes. You'll visit Tahiti, Bimini, and the Galapagos before tourists got there. You'll meet cowboys, mechanics, skydivers, artists, deep-sea divers with a death wish, crazy drunks, and a host of other characters who knew how to live life large. A life-affirming, swaggering book, "Yardarm and Cockpit" is one wild ride without a seat belt.

Book Description
“A harrowing tale of revenge. Hangman is a hardboiled police procedural . . . Readers come away not only entertained—and terrified—but also enlightened.” —Cemetery Dance A woman is killed on Halloween night in Seattle. Death by hanging—as cruel and vicious as it was back in the days when it was employed as a means of justice. Only there is no justice in this murder. And it isn’t the last one. Suddenly the police on both sides of the US–Canadian border are tracking a killer with a taste for the drama of the gallows. And just when the investigation zeroes in on a suspect, another corpse is discovered. The string of bizarre and brutal killings leaves a complex trail of clues—and a terror that only escalates with each killing. “Master of the Northern Giallo! There are more than a few reasons to take the stand and scream the glories of literary demon Michael Slade.” —Rue Morgue “Hangman’s escalating suspense is sustained not only by readers wondering ‘whodunit,’ but who will be the next to die. Every character is both a suspect and a potential victim.” —Quill & Quire “Murder with gore galore, and a killer who enjoys his hobby. There’s plenty of legerdemain before the trick ending.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto) “Fascinating . . . The research on real-life hangmen is deftly larded into the fast-paced story.” —The Vancouver Sun “First-hand knowledge of the judicial system gives Slade’s thrillers their authenticity.” —North Shore News

Book Description
This short story collection set in the desert southwest features spiritual themes. What do terracotta suns have to do with racism? Is a little bliss worse than no bliss at all? Who is The Alchemist, the one turning things to gold, the one concocting elixirs, or the one seeking immortality? Soon the road was little more than a path, winding like a snake through the creosote, century plants and desert spoons. I walked on for a while, my footsteps the only noise. It must have been over 100o out there, but it didn't seem to bother me much. There was no wind. I stopped and stood still, listening to the sun seep into the sandy soil, watching the occasional bird glide silently over the empty land, then I turned around. I never did find Peter, but by the time I got back to the truck, my head was all full of knowing. - - Amazon.
