In A Beginner's Guide to Owning a Mule, Becky Coffield has written a humorous, helpful, and engaging guideline for those interested in buying and owning a mule.

Each of the nine chapters in the book covers a crucial topic relating specifically to riding and caring for mules. In addition to offering friendly advice on how to buy the mule and things to look for and be aware of, the author also covers a host of other helpful topics, such as appropriate mule tack, saddling up, trail riding and mule behavioral problems. Other topics that Coffield discusses are mule medical issues, boarding the animal, clinics, and making friends with your mule.

A Beginner's Guide to Owning a Mule is unlike any other mule advice book you may read. The author is not dogmatic and includes other perspectives on some of these topics. Coffield readily admits she is not a trainer or a mule whisperer. She's not afraid to confess her own mistakes either, and many of them are extremely funny. Her blunders with her mule provide hilarious examples of what not to do..

The author, Captain Michael Dodd, grew up in Baltimore and spent many hours on the Chesapeake Bay throughout most of his life. His book outlines a fascinating exploration of 23 cities and towns on the Bay from a waterborne perspective. He and his wife, Maureen, motored the length of the Bay during the Covid year of 2020. This book describes their journey, and each chapter starts with a delightful historic outline of the port visited. Little tidbits of tantalizing facts are discovered and explored and make this book more than a simple travelogue. Who knew there was a German U-boat at the bottom of the Potomac River? Or that tiny Tangier Island, Virginia, in the central Bay, was a British resupply fort during the War of 1812? We all know that Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Bangled Banner while observing the bombardment of Ft. McHenry in Baltimore. But did you know that he was a temporary captive on a British ship when he watched the event unfold?

That's the question you will be left to ponder as you read Bad to the Bone, a science fiction novel with historical references about the unexpected arrival of a new species of shark that developed due to human medical waste seeping down through the Florida aquifer and coming out in offshore submarine springs. As such, this new breed of shark uniquely craves human blood and bone marrow due to DNA changes from ingesting medical byproducts over decades. When full-grown a member of this new species is the largest individual predator on earth. The story centers around the Kings Bay Nuclear Submarine Base in St. Marys, Georgia. Under the backdrop of the construction of the base that took place in the late 1970s, sudden brutal shark attacks began occurring. The attacks were so brutal, that the victim's bodies if located, were stripped of all flesh and blood products down to the pulverizing of the victim's bones to get to the marrow. Meanwhile, many black, tannin-stained teeth are found washing up on nearby beaches.

The Navy decides to remove a limestone mound found during a dredging operation and inadvertently releases a school of young predators from their birthplace in the submarine springs into Kings Bay where they escape into the coastal waters and start to raise havoc with local fishermen and beachgoers. Later the Navy uses one of the most famous spy ships in the world, the Glomar Explorer, to lift the 100-ton mound and the mystery underneath. Everything is labeled secret by the Navy, so news of the new species is hushed as the Navy tries to avoid a public relations nightmare.

Who knows? Maybe they did cover it all up...

Movingly written, Richards spent over twenty years meticulously researching, interviewing, and capturing vibrant memories and recollections of the six-time world champion saddle bronc rider. Born in a log home in the wilds of South Dakota, the youngest of ten children, Tibbs grew to be the most well-known, popular rodeo star of all time. Richards' biography is all-inclusive and also covers the Roberts family, including rodeo greats Ken, Gerald, and E.C. Roberts, along with Jim Shoulders, Deb Copenhaver, Carl Olson, Ben Johnson, Gene Pruett, Bill Linderman and so many more. In addition, Richards recounts Casey's phenomenal success in Hollywood and his friendship with Audie Murphy, his Las Vegas associations, and his world tours promoting rodeo and the Wild West.

Diplomat and long-distance cruiser Nicholas Coghlan had been curious about Japan ever since his father, a veteran of infantry fighting in Italy and Greece, confessed to him a dread of being sent to the Japanese front when the war in Europe ended in the Spring of 1945.

Sailing to the Heart of Japan is a voyage of personal discovery as the author's preconceptions are challenged. It's also a unique account of one of the world's least-known but most attractive cruising destinations.

Starting from New Zealand, Nicholas and his partner Jenny navigate Bosun Bird, their Vancouver 27, north through Pacific Island nations where memories of war linger. They make their landfall in Kyushu, in southwestern Japan. Over a period of fifteen months, they venture to the remote and depopulated archipelago of Goto Retto in the East China Sea, through Kanmon Kaikyo narrows and into the island-studded Inland Sea.

Everywhere - from Kagoshima to Tokyo Bay - Bosun Bird and her crew are met with astonishing kindness and thoughtful conversation. Travel by yotto allows them glimpses of an enigmatic land that are rarely offered to more conventional visitors.

The book comprises 242 pages, including 54 illustrations, 9 maps, and detailed descriptions of over 60 anchorages/mooring locations, complete with GPS coordinates. Sailing to the heart of Japan is as descriptive as it is informative about this little-known sailing destination.

Welcome to the world of Joshua Smoot-the bastard son of Treasure Island's John Flint. From the first page of John Flint's Bastard to the last, you will experience the full spectrum of love versus hate, loyalty versus betrayal, freedom versus slavery, and the extremes of mankind's goodness and evil toward one another.

The old pirate Captain John Flint-the evil benefactor of Savannah-finally spawns a manchild by one of his concubines. To fulfill the last wish of the lad's mother, Flint promises to raise Joshua as a gentleman rather than make him a pirate, and to accomplish this task, he delivers the eight-year-old lad to the Wakehurst Place Estate in southern England where Joshua's stubborn spirit forces him into an ultimatum that tests his will and eventually earns him two King's warrants for his head.

During his run from the King, Joshua meets and falls in love with Rebecca Keyes-a young girl with a stronger will than his own. Their rocky relationship culminates with Rebecca being forced to make a life-and-death decision that will affect Joshua's course for the rest of his life.

If you like fast-paced, white-knuckled, edge-of-seat pirate adventure novels, then take your seat at the literary dining table, pick up your knife and fork, and open to chapter one of this delicious banquet called John Flint's Bastard. And when you finish, you'll want to go back to that same bookseller and buy the second in the Of Chains and Slavery trilogy, Slavery and Revenge.
