Adam Nash is a superstar. House, cars, money, women ... he's got it all. Yeah, he's conceited, but with his looks and talent why shouldn't he be? Not until he's banned from another hotel for his drunken antics does he realize that it's time to grow up and treat his music as a career and not a free ride. Now Adam has set his sights on florist Jade Graham. She's not the kind of woman he's used to, she's too smart to play the role of arm-candy. Adam is going to have to keep his celebrity status a secret for as long as possible, because what woman in her right mind would get attached to a playboy without a conscience? Jade Graham is going to be one tough case, but she seems hell bent on proving that there is more than one way for a star to fall. Purchase the paperback, get the ebook free!

Nine Navies War begins at the start of 1915 after a victorious Germany has overrun France the year before. (Perhaps the BEF didn't land on time or at all or they got bottled up in Mons or the Germans kept to their full-blown keep the right super-strong and pull back on the left Schlieffen Plan scheme thereby bagging two French armies in the Rhineland etc.) Italy seeing the German victory train leaving the station joins the Central Powers as do Spain and Greece. All of which makes for a dreadnought showdown in the Mediterranean Atlantic Ocean and North Seas as the avidly Mahanist Kaiser Wilhelm seeks to finally defeat the Royal Navy and thus make Germany into a true global power. It will be the battleships of Britain Russia and 'Free France' versus those of Germany Italy Turkey Austria-Hungary and the captured portion of the divided French fleet. (Each French ship is rolled for at the start of every game. Each can be scuttled go over to the British or be captured by the Germans.) There will also be the possibility of later US entry when/if the Japanese switch sides in the Pacific and launch a dastardly surprise attack that finally draws in the Yanks. Victory is determined on victory points awarded for controlling the various sea zones around Europe. The geography thereby creates a kind of two front war one in the Mediterranean and one in the Atlantic. The Central Powers player is also able to win a sudden death victory by controlling the waters immediately surrounding the British Isles for one full year (three turns). If he does so the British have just been starved into submission. All the battleships and battle cruisers afloat during that era along with three late-game British aircraft carriers are represented in the various nations' orders of battle as well as ships that were scheduled to be completed during 1919 if the war had gone on that long. Random events account for the larger developments taking place in the Minimize

From the race of the 100 Guinea Cup 1851, to a personal yacht, to an espionage boat for the Confederacy, to a blockader for the Union Navy, the trodden decks of this black schooner carries many stories. The yacht America transports the reader from a shipyard in New York City across the Atlantic to the famous race of the Royal Yacht Squadron Queens Cup of 1851, now known as the Americas Cup Race.. She became known as the Yankee schooner, raced with European yachts for several years, and in 1861 mysteriously sailed into Savannah, Georgia, carrying British colors and the Royal Victoria Yacht Clubs burgee. The Civil war had just begun. As the fifth yachts owner, Henry Decie, an Irish sagacious, gentry-man becomes acquainted with the Jefferson Davis Administration. The yacht was prostituted to transport two Confederate officers to England. One officer was to serve as a secret emissary for President Davis, while the other officer was to purchase/build abroad iron-clad warships. Henry Decie and his yacht, re-named Camilla, are captained across the Atlantic, to react with the Confederate urgent fares. However, he took time to race at the Isle of Wight. Decie left the Confederate officers unceremoniously and sailed to Dixie - stopping at the Cape de Verdes, maybe to avoid Mason and Slidell. The yacht disappeared between late 1861 and early 1862. She had been scuttled by the Confederates in a creek hideaway. She was found and rescued by the Union Navy vessels far upriver beyond Jacksonville, Florida. Americas celebrated life doesnt terminate in England, soon she was flying the colors of the USN as a naval blockader. For a little schooner her activities are full of intrigue. She is a proven winner of the waves, and holds an extremely important place in American yachting history. Minimize
