"It should have been a paradise, but paradise is what you lose, it is what you might have had.An elderly woman who has lived for many years on a tropical island off the Queensland coast with her beachcomber husband waits for help from the mainland. For three harrowing days, alone. He has died, his body lies in their cabin just up from the beach, and while she awaits help she reviews her reclusive life there, of nearly 25 years with him. She is a woman with a glint in her mind's eye.The Beachcomber's Wife draws upon the published writings of E.J. Banfield, who lived an isolated life with his wife Bertha on Dunk Island through the first decades of the twentieth century. He made very little reference to her in his work (Confessions of a Beachcomber and others). This account imagines what it might have been like from her point of view. It follows Banfield's practice, of fact cemented with fiction."

Ex-special ops legend Dane Blaise takes on a new partner for a kidnapping case, gorgeous Scotland Yard detective Shana George. Mistake? Maybe. Dane Blaise When he walks by you, you feel the heat of his energy and then you turn your head and meet his intense eyes. If you're a woman, you shiver with anticipation. If you're an enemy of any kind, you shiver with fear. Because you know he’s the kind of man who would lay down his life for the woman he loves. He’s a protector, the kind of man who would have been a swashbuckler with in the days of pirates, or a knight in shining armor in the days of castles and kings. Now, seemingly invincible and legendary, he leads the life of a loner mercenary. Unimpressed and un-phased by most, the last thing Dane needs or wants is a partner … Shana George. Shana is who every woman wants to be, strong and knock-out gorgeous, a wonder woman style crusader—protector of the helpless and fighter for justice. Working in law enforcement for Scotland Yard, she’s a match for any man with her confidence and skill—and long ago stopped looking for that man who would inspire her to lay everything on the line for him. Will Dane be that man? Will Shana be a match for the legendary Dane Blaise? The fireworks between them could get them killed before they have a chance to find the missing heiress and whoever is behind her kidnapping. And they need to find her alive before they let their relationship compromise everything. Or is it too late? Read book 1 of the thrilling and intense Beachcomber Investigations romantic detective series to see how it all started. Here's what readers are saying: "This is a magnificent introduction to what promises to be an' in-your-face' detective series! Ms. George and Mr. Blaise are reminiscent of Sam and Diane of "Cheers" fame. Lots of action! Would make a terrific TV series!!"--Amazon Reviewer "This was a book you don't want to put down! A contemporary type romance with unexpected twists and turns. A book I will keep and reread again."--Amazon Reviewer "I loved this book. Well written with great characters, loved Shana and Dane."--Amazon Reviewer

Full of colorful details and engrossing stories, Pursuing Respect in the Cannibal Isles shows that the aspirations of individual Americans to be recognized as people worthy of others' respect was a driving force in the global extension of United States influence shortly after the nation's founding. Nancy Shoemaker contends that what she calls extraterritorial Americans constituted the vanguard of a vast, early US global expansion. Using as her site of historical investigation nineteenth-century Fiji, the "cannibal isles" of American popular culture, she uncovers stories of Americans looking for opportunities to rise in social status and enhance their sense of self. Prior to British colonization in 1874, extraterritorial Americans had, she argues, as much impact on Fiji as did the British. While the American economy invested in the extraction of sandalwood and sea slugs as resources to sell in China, individuals who went to Fiji had more complicated, personal objectives. Pursuing Respect in the Cannibal Isles considers these motivations through the lives of the three Americans who left the deepest imprint on Fiji: a runaway whaleman who settled in the islands, a sea captain's wife, and a merchant. Shoemaker's book shows how ordinary Americans living or working overseas found unusual venues where they could show themselves worthy of others' respect—others' approval, admiration, or deference.
