Synopsis Van Von Hunter by : Ron Kaulfersch

Book one starts off with the introduction of a cloaked figure and his werewolf companion crossing the border into the newly good-ified land of Dikay. We then explain the history of the mighty warrior Van Von Hunter. Like all Legends, his is not without embellishing. Hence, we end up telling the audience a number of inaccuracies... Von Hunter is a thousand years old, and the like. Only with slick placement of dialogue well within the books will readers eventually start to uncover the real history of Von Hunter. After the history lesson we move on to VVH's side kick. After a terrible and truly earth-shaking explosion caused by the Apoxagedon spell during the final battle with the Flaming Prince, SK lost all of her memories of fighting evil with VVH and was in turn separated from him. That was three years ago. Since that time she found her way to a little village and has been living out her life; totally devoid of her past memories. She lives with an older couple who have taken her in as the daughter they never had and she works as a bar wench. Lo, these past three years, VVH has been roaming the countryside and looking for evil to smite. Oddly, the land has become more and more peace

Synopsis Jessie's Island by : Sheryl McFarlane

With a long list of activities and events to attend, cousin Thomas paints a picture of city life that makes Jessie’s world seem a little dull in comparison. When her mother suggests they invite Thomas to visit their island, Jessie wonders glumly what she could possibly write in her letter that would sound as exciting as zoos, planetariums or video arcades. But as Jessie looks out over her island home, she sees a world of endless variety, from killer whales in the strait and bald eagles soaring overhead to anemones in tide pools and tiny hermit crabs on the shore. She thinks of countless days spent exploring, fishing, swimming and canoeing.

An undercover FBI agent has been exposed—while a traitor hides within the Bureau, in this heart-pounding crime thriller by “a knock-em-dead writer” (Anthony Neil Smith, author of Slow Bear). Tony Wolf, a troubled man and the FBI’s most esteemed undercover agent, is back after mysteriously vanishing without a trace. A specialist at infiltrating criminal organizations and taking them down from the inside, he lives his life in the shadows. But when he’s forced into the open during the rescue of two kidnapped children, Wolf becomes caught up in a massive federal manhunt. Faced with a traitorous agent and a ruthless, renegade biker gang he has crossed paths with before, Wolf finds himself in danger.

Synopsis Star Guitars by : Dave Hunter

These are the guitars so famous that their names are often household words: B. B. King's Lucille, Eric Clapton's Blackie, Stevie Ray Vaughan's First Wife, Billy F Gibbons' Pearly Gates, Neil Young's Old Black, and many more. Here's the first-ever illustrated history of the actual guitars of the stars that made the music. Other best-selling guitar histories look at the rank-and-file models, but this book is unique in profiling the actual "star guitars"--the million-dollar babies, such as the 1968 Stratocaster that Jimi Hendrix burned at Woodstock, which sold at Sotheby's auction house in 1993 for $1,300,000. Amateurs buy guitars to emulate the stars--Clapton's Strat, Slash's Les Paul--and this book explains the stars' modifications, thus showing how others can recreate those famous tones.
