‘Wine is a good, familiar creature and once bitten, that’s it.’ Len Evans Len Evans was bitten early and that was it. He remained an enthusiastically successful promoter of the ‘good, familiar creature’ until his untimely death in 2006. But after almost half a century of a life in wine, he wasn’t keen on getting into the autobiography business. ‘I was asked to write my memoirs,’ he said in 1985, ‘but I didn’t like the idea – for one reason I’m still living them, and for another, my many conceits do not include a belief that my life has been particularly fascinating.’ Well, he didn’t write his memoirs but he left us something else that is uniquely Evans – an anecdotal ramble through a life devoted to the production, promotion – and drinking! – of wine. There are occasional detours to paint a picture of an old mate, tell a wise or hilarious wine tale, or just spin a good yarn. And there was many a yarn garnered in the new Welsh migrant’s progress from ring-barking trees in the bush to washing glasses in a pub, writing comedy sketches and embarking on a career-changing role in a major hotel before becoming established as a restaurateur, vigneron and ultimately – almost inevitably – as Australia’s most influential wine personality. In 1979, Len wrote of a friend’s book, ‘It’s a funny book, it’s a serious book. It contains something for every wine lover.’ Few words could better describe what he has left us in Life’s Too Short to Drink Bad Wine. Praise for Len Evans ‘There was, and will only ever be, one Don Bradman – and only one Len Evans AO, OBE.’ – James Halliday ‘[Len Evans is] the finest judge of wine I know.’ – Hugh Johnson ‘Len Evans has done more to advance the cause of Australian wine than any other individual.’ – The Oxford Companion to Wine
After a bitter retirement from the Air Force, former fighter pilot Colin Pearce lives a solitary life flying business jets as a daily contractor. The money is good, the work is plentiful and he manages to keep the demons of his past repressed. But when his best friend from the USAF disappears while working for the CIA, the agency offers Pearce contract work of a different kind, in an aircraft he hasn't flown for years - the deadly F-16 "Viper." Two government agents corner Pearce in the bar of an Atlanta hotel and present a scenario almost too incredible to believe. A mercenary fighter squadron is performing devastating airstrikes for clients willing to pay their price. Pearce's friend flew for them. And now he's gone. The squadron has a vacant position. The CIA wants someone to stop them. It seems like the perfect combination. Especially since the CIA knows the dark secrets of Pearce's past. Pearce takes the job, more for revenge than patriotism. He is whisked away to the unit's remote island training base and immersed in a strenuous program of physical training and reintroduction to the F-16. But as his considerable skills in the agile jet are reawakened, he struggles to stay focused on his mission in the midst of a surreal environment highly-charged with sexual tension. Pearce must also contend with the growing attraction between himself and unit's seductive commander and his deepening realization that she is hiding a sinister secret. Then the group's ultimate mission comes - a nuclear strike which will have dramatic consequences for the entire world. And Pearce is forced to reawaken his demons, take to the skies in the Viper and fight a deadly battle to save millions of souls at the potential cost of his own life.

The first, the Horseshoe-to-Horseshoe Runyaking Expedition, a solo adventure of paddling and running 1400 miles from Oxford, MI to Niagara Falls, ON.

Secondly, its the vehicle used to tell the Runyakers life journey, which is that of a true-to-life Forrest Gump-like character, a boy growing up in Little Chicago, a run-down rural area near Clio, MI. Despite having slim chances of succeeding he grows into a man that accomplished many remarkable things.

Tomas Young’s War is the tragic yet life affirming story of a paralyzed Iraq War veteran who spent his last ten years battling heroically with his injuries, while courageously speaking against America's wars. Based on hours of interviews with Young and those close to him, the book puts the reader alongside Young as he struggles with life as a paralyzed veteran, suffering frustration and humiliation as he attempts to reenter society and resume as normal an existence as possible. It shows his fight to balance his precarious health with his drive to speak out for veterans care and against the war, and the impact his catastrophic injuries had on his family and his relationships. This emotional and powerful book sheds light on many crucial but often overlooked issues such as veterans’ care, public attitudes toward the disabled, medical marijuana, and the terminally ill. Tomas Young’s War shares everything, as unflinchingly honest as Tomas himself: the depression, the pain, the love, and laughter . . . the life of this man whose world was turned upside down by an Iraqi bullet more than ten years ago. Throughout, it serves as a powerful testament to the true cost of war.
