Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. On September 11, 1992, Baby Dude, returns to Hawaii from the mainland. He hears the dreadful news that Kauai has been devastated by a catastrophic storm, Hurricane Iniki. It is forty eight hours before he reaches his driveway, to find his five-year-old, Tommy, waiting, in the near dark, to tell him that Lily has taken Grandpa Tom to the hospital. It is over three months before Baby Dude, alone with his two small sons, reaches out to Stephanie, his wife's sister, for help with the boys. Just as they are becoming friends, Stephanie takes off on a trip to Florida. Miami Police Detective, Teddy Krozniak, wants to talk with her about the open file on the murder of Edgar Bennett in his South Beach apartment in 1987. Krozniak comes to Hawaii and enlists the assistance of Baby Dude and his surfing mentor, the handsome and charismatic Clayton Bouvier. The two agree to participate in an elaborate police takedown. During the chaos of the Fort Lauderdale Halloween Parade, they manage to capture the mastermind of a south Florida criminal network. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Sixties were over. The Summer of Love, Haight-Ashbury, Woodstock, the Vietnam War were history. Nan, after an extended trip to Europe, was back in New York City, and Mark, awaiting his discharge from the army was living in Washington, D.C. They were planning a camping trip, via the Appalachian Trail and the Natchez Trace, to Mexico where they hoped to spend the coldest part of the winter. A chance meeting with a charismatic California couple had long-term impact, with many twists and turns, as they discovered the emerging stardom of Joya Pleiades, the spiritual teacher who was building an international reputation, based on the philosophy of Radiance. Readers comment: "You had me on the first page!" "A female villain, a master manipulator, the quintessential evangelist-the beautiful and seductive Joya will not soon be forgotten." "Sometimes, I think it would be great if her message was real and true." "The locales are fabulous, rich in detail but fast-paced action keeps it all moving." "Edgy, contemporary, sexy and scary, BECOMING JOYA still celebrates some things that we hold dear, strong relationships, creature comforts and the ongoing need for some of us to choose the road less traveled." "Another good read, chock full of ideas from Anne Basto, the author of FAST LANE TO SUNSET. Very different, but equally interesting." "BECOMING JOYA is good writing, fast paced, well organized. I'm still waiting for the sequel to FAST LANE TO SUNSET." This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In Fast Lane to Sunset, the author, Anne Basto, puts the pedal to the metal and never eases up. Living in a small town in the Midwest, the six major characters come together in an unlikely alliance as they turn their backs on traditional retirement, and commit to an unconventional and more adventurous lifestyle. They leave behind the familiar cold and wintry climate, for the steamy, seductive tropical setting of Miami's South Beach. It's 1986 and the area is booming. A large sum of money is passed off to the unsuspecting Edgar Bennett, for safe keeping. The famous poet, enjoying his recent improvement in health, celebrates his rejuvenation with the help of a young muse who encourages him in a new style of writing. Ian Conner, finding friends and fun on the beach, is soon gripped by a most remarkable, passionate love. Within his first week in the new location, Tom finds a good job and a stunning Cuban girlfriend. Ken Falk comes home to his Jewish heritage and a Miami Vice wardrobe. Fran's lifelong interest in languages paves the way for her quick assimilation into the multi-cultural community. Her friend, Rose, is reluctant and uneasy, at first, but as they work together to look at everything from a different perspective, she blooms. Rose's singing, her infectious laugh and her boundless energy become a mainstay in their new community. A dark undercurrent emerges, as a psychotic villain plays ugly games within the thriving area. Ken joins Ian and Tom to collect and exchange information. Each of them, with skills long forgotten or suppressed in their memories of war, find that they can see it more clearly, viewed as a campaign against an enemy. From a carefully executed retaliation against some minor players, who are generally lowering the quality of life in South Beach, these three ultimately take on the bad guys and the Miami Beach Police Department. Murder precedes a cliff-hanging car chase across the South and back into the Midwest during a severe blizzard. Ian, Tom and Ken try to outwit, out-plan, and ultimately out-drive a pair of Miami hoods who are after them and the money. Fran and Rose remain in the dark, protected by the men, from the reality of the dangerous situation. The time soon comes when they insist on full disclosure, and they step up with quick thinking and organizational skills that prove valuable as the action never stops. The sweetness of the developing romance that ends in a wedding, and the memorial voyage, are events that mark the beginning of their involvement with the next generation. The ultimate surfer, known as Baby Dude, with his gentle demeanor and helping hands, is like a breath of fresh air. Tom's girls, who are young adults with character, help them to see the way forward. The last, and perhaps most fascinating, story within the story may be "Japanese Money". A black leather bag, full of cash and documents, is found in a Honolulu hotel room where the officers of Five, Inc. have come to plan their next move. This adventure novel is about aging gracefully and not giving up. It's about refusing to be marginalized. It's about learning to live together and being productive. It's about crime and the underbelly of a fabulous city. It's about an unexpected villain whose charming, educated, and attractive facade hides a heart of darkness. It's about revenge and paybacks and retaliations, and hopes and dreams, and ideas. It's about oceans, sun, rain, music and poetry. It's about older people and younger people and memories of wars. It's about money, and greed and generosity, and deception and truthfulness. It's about love and tenderness and loyalty. Rich in detail, locales and humor, Fast Lane to Sunset is about living life, full-tilt until the end. It's fun, it's fast-paced, it's violent, it's beautiful, it's sexy and it's hopeful.
