Where would you go if you needed to get away from it all? What would happen if you never came back? Your life would change forever as it does for Kristine Ellingson in Mexico. She left her life in the U.S. and moved to the vibrant land of the ancient Maya. Kristine Ellingson was a successful American jewelry designer with two grown children and a marriage on the rocks. Because she needed some time to find direction and meaning in her life, Kristine left her home in Oregon for a trip to Yucatan that she believed would be a stopover on her way to Portugal. Much to her surprise, her stop in Yucatan was not only longer than expected, it was permanent. She found that taking a leap of faith can lead to a life full of adventure and meaning. Join Kristine as she recounts her journey in finding a new home and family in a peaceful village near the Mayan ruins of Uxmal. From Spanish flash cards to falling in love with a Mayan hotel desk clerk, a transformation occurs both with Kristine and the village. In spite of being an outsider and looking nothing like the Mayas she is tall and blonde she is accepted by the village and becomes an integral part of their community. Kristine creates multiple businesses in her village, fusing two cultures, two beliefs, two ways of life. Twenty years later, and still married to the Mayan hotel clerk who is now her business partner, Kristine shares her real life stories of love, pain, loss, and learning Overcoming the typical expat story of frustration with another culture, Tales from the Yucatan Jungle: Life in a Mayan Village brings two worlds together and shares glimpses into a sacred, rich Mayan way of life. Kristine allows readers to glimpse a world seldom seen by tourists.

During the late 1970s, Tiptree lived for months on the eerie windswept shore of the Yucatan, and the true protagonist of this book is neither the Tiptree narrator nor the manifestations of ancient Maya civilization, but rather the Quintana Roo itself as a living, pulsating entity that envelops the reader within a uniquely alien ambience. Following Tiptree's introduction are these unforgettable nouvelles of weird fantasy: "What Came Ashore at Lirios, " "The Boy Who Waterskied to Forever, " and "Beyond the Dead Reef.

Born and raised in London, David Lindo's passionate interest in the natural world, especially birds, began at an early age. His thriving curiosity opened a door for him into an unexplored world of urban birding. Years later he decided to champion the delights of birding in cities and reinvented himself as the Urban Birder. Using this illustrious alias David Lindo has brought urban birding back into the public consciousness, promoting its virtues at every opportunity and writing about it in the birding press. He urges people to look up when walking around in cities, or to stop and close your eyes in a busy street just to listen to the birds that may be singing. In his second book, David visits some of the world's most unnatural environments, revealing the astonishingly diverse range of wildlife that can be found when you take the time to look. Much more than a compendium of birding sites, each tale follows the Urban Birder in his enthralling pursuit of city birding. Accompanied by dedicated local conservationists and renowned birders, David gives a deeper insight into the true nature of each city. Featuring 70 locations to explore, Tales from Concrete Jungles is the perfect book to dip in to when on the move, or to hide away with on a rainy afternoon. Join David in his celebration of nature, pick up travel inspiration, and immerse yourself in his captivating quest for urban birding.

According to Mayan legend, the xtabentum flower that grows wild on the Yucatan peninsula first appeared on the grave of a free-spirited young woman who was scorned for her passion by the people of her village, but loved by the gods for her kind heart. Xtabentum: A Novel of Yucatan is a story of two young women set in the years following the Mexican Revolution in Merida, Yucatan, one of the wealthiest cities in the world at the time. Amanda Diaz is from the “divine caste,” a small group of families of European descent who dominate the politics and economy of the region. Amanda’s lifelong friend, Carmen, is from the opposite end of the social spectrum, a domestic worker, a Mayan Indian who is the daughter of one of the Diaz family servants. Against the true historical background of rebellion and assassination in the unstable country, the whipping of Carmen by a Diaz neighbor exposes the sheltered existence of the two women and drives them apart. The story follows Amanda through her horror at the social injustice of the two-class Mexico to the sacrifices she makes in the name of friendship. Parts of the story take place in modern times, where the discovery of an old birth certificate sets Amanda’s granddaughter in search of a secret about her father’s birth. Her search, told in the first person, is blended with a third-person account of the lives of Amanda and her contemporaries in the 1920s.

Evil Stalks the Yucatan is an action-packed thriller set in the jungle of Yucatan, Mexico. The events unfold over the time frame of four days. One of the characters, a woman named Destiny Ramos, left Mexico twenty years ago to escape the brutal beatings of a drunken and abusive spouse. Fleeing with her blue-eyed son, the result of a single night of passion with an American tourist, Destiny finds refuge and love in America. Reunited, they return to Mexico to hunt with Destiny's life-long friends: Manuel Olaguibel and his wife Lorena. The Olaguibels own and operate a hunting lodge within the deep jungles of the Yucatan. On the road to the lodge, their adventure begins with an unexpected roadblock in which the Mexican Federales square off in a gun fight with the Cartel. Arriving at the lodge, they enjoy a few days of peace and quiet. The tranquility is shattered when Destiny's husband disappears leaving behind his backpack, shotgun and a pool of blood. At the same time, Destiny barely escapes what is thought to be an attack by a rabid jaguar and the escapade broadens into a breathtaking hunt for the missing American. Trailing the jaguar with Manuel's hounds, the rescue team discovers a never before seen Mayan temple hidden by thick jungle vegetation. When the trail of the jaguar leads to an opening at the base of the structure, the team realizes they must enter in order to rescue Destiny's missing husband. The saga rapidly expands into an intricate tale that twists and turns as the rescue team try to determine if they are fighting a wild jaguar, the cartel or an enemy that cannot be defined. Delve into this electrifying story and expect the unexpected as Antonio Del Roco of Guadalajara, Mexico explodes onto the scene with this new novel. Drawing from his experiences with the Mexican Federal Police, Roco weaves a fictitious tale that will surprise the reader until the very end...and perhaps beyond!
