The Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo by @SultanOfSalem #Action #Adventure #GoodReads

After the much-needed bath, Dantes puts on his dressing gown and lies down on his old bed, which he finds deeply comforting. He has played and traveled hard over the past few busy years, and he knows it has worn on him; there is more silver in his hair than before. He hopes to slow down soon, for he loves his new home with his family close by and misses them terribly. The sweet, baby faces of his daughters loom in the darkness of his closed eyes. How blessed he is! He resolves to enjoy Paris while he is here, though. He wants to go to the opera while he is in town and also visit a few of his favorite haunts. Finally, he falls fast asleep, only to awaken to a servant telling him the meal is nearly ready.

The servant helps Dantes dress and leads him to the dining room.

“The table looks divine,” Dantes says, thinking how nice it is to be out of his traveling clothes and into something more refined. He looks at the spread before him—fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as two huge pheasants with mint jelly. The yeasty smell of homemade bread fills the air and makes his mouth water.

“I hope this pleases you, sir,” Valentine tells him. “I know the food in America is quite different. Perhaps you have become too accustomed to their fare to appreciate ours.”

“Oh, nothing can compare to a good French meal, although American food has its own charms. When the baby is old enough to travel, you will all have to visit my estate in Georgia. It’s a different world, but one I believe you will enjoy,” Dantes tells them.

Just then, he hears the creak of a wheelchair. In comes M. Noirtier. Dantes rushes over to him and bids him hello.

“My old friend!” he says. “My heart fills with joy to see you—let us enjoy this magnificent feast as well as one another’s company.”

The next morning, Dantes plans to visit more of his old friends, at least those who still reside in Paris. A carriage awaits him in the hazy light of dawn, and he is flooded with memories as he drives through the streets. He wishes Mercedes and Haydee could be at his side, but knows his daughters are far too young for such travel; it would exhaust them.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ICE by @TheobaldSprague #AmReading #Memoir #Climate

The main purpose of our trip the year before on Akademik Ioff was to find out the physical feasibility of our intended joint expedition and to see what the ice conditions were like in the Northwest Passage. For me, I hoped to gain a good visual sense of what I’d be trying to capture on film. Within the first few days, I knew I would bring back never-before-seen footage from The Passage. From Dan and Jim’s perspective, they grew confident that a Nordhavn boat could take on The Passage and survive. Each morning, the crew of Akademik Ioff provided the ship’s passengers with its own newspaper, giving the latest headlines. Each morning, the three of us would sit and discuss the sorry case of the world in general and feel all the more secure that our intended trip through the Northwest Passage was about as timely as we could hope for.

On September 15, 2008, with a growing sense of accomplishment and anticipation, I sat down for breakfast and opened the ship’s daily newspaper. I stared in abject and total disbelief at the latest headlines noting that Lehman Brothers was crashing, about to be financially erased from the face of the earth, and that the collateral damage was going to be unprecedented.

The collateral damage reached the Far North. As the days continued to roll by, Jim no longer wanted to discuss the trip. In fact, Jim no longer ate

with Dan and me. When the three of us actually were together, the talk was of anything but their $300,000 commitment to the trip and perhaps building a forty-foot boat so they could join in the adventure. By the time the trip aboard Akademik Ioff had ended, there was no $300,000 commitment. I saw it coming a mile away.

Dan Streech was the type of man who, when he told me of the offer’s withdrawal, he did it with tears in his eyes. I was completely in Dan’s corner. I couldn’t in good conscience ask for such a large amount of money while he was looking at having to lay off longtime trusted employees, people he truly loved.

But as much as I appreciated Dan’s position and honesty, I was devastated. Actually, more than devastated. I was completely and decisively screwed.

A sailor and his family’s harrowing and inspiring story of their attempt to sail the treacherous Northwest Passage.

Sprague Theobald, an award-winning documentary filmmaker and expert sailor with over 40,000 offshore miles under his belt, always considered the Northwest Passage–the sea route connecting the Atlantic to the Pacific–the ultimate uncharted territory. Since Roald Amundsen completed the first successful crossing of the fabled Northwest Passage in 1906, only twenty-four pleasure craft have followed in his wake. Many more people have gone into space than have traversed the Passage, and a staggering number have died trying. From his home port of Newport, Rhode Island, through the Passage and around Alaska to Seattle, it would be an 8,500-mile trek filled with constant danger from ice, polar bears, and severe weather.

What Theobald couldn’t have known was just how life-changing his journey through the Passage would be. Reuniting his children and stepchildren after a bad divorce more than fifteen years earlier, the family embarks with unanswered questions, untold hurts, and unspoken mistrusts hanging over their heads. Unrelenting cold, hungry polar bears, and a haunting landscape littered with sobering artifacts from the tragic Franklin Expedition of 1845, as well as personality clashes that threaten to tear the crew apart, make The Other Side of the Ice a harrowing story of survival, adventure, and, ultimately, redemption.

Getting to Know @GreyAuthor & Why He Writes ... #AmReading #Action #Adventure

How do you work through self-doubts and fear?

Novel-writing can be a very personal process and so from start to finish there is a lot of self-doubt and fear. It helps to have a supportive novelist wife to work through “itchy” parts of a project or to help get over brick walls. It also helps to have her be a trusted confidante on whether or not a concept will work. That said, the best thing a writer can do is detach from the book. It is personal, yes, but ultimately it isn’t for you. It’s for your readers. The objective is, then, to make it the best book you can for the readers. Detaching oneself emotionally from a project goes miles into becoming truly objective about the work, as to, whether or not it will work for your audience.

Why do you write?

I write because I always have. I don’t remember ever not writing. It’s like breathing for me. That isn’t to say it comes easy to me, it doesn’t. Writing is a lot of work and editing doubly so. However, not being in the process at some level feels very uncomfortable for me. Like exercise, I may dread it—and like exercise, it may be a major effort, but it, like exercise, fills a void and energizes me when I’m in the work. Although sometimes wearing and exhausting, it is like medicine for the mind. I don’t write to deliver a poignant message, like many rightfully do, I write to immerse readers in a cathartic journey.

What books did you love growing up?

I was introduced to Douglas Adams at a very early age and ate those books like candy. There was something Adams did with words that made you feel smart and really impact the way you think about language and storytelling. I could never hope to reach that level of wittiness in my own writing, but it always makes me think about the words I choose. I also read a great deal of fantasy and science fiction in my younger days and was influenced heavily by it. Interestingly, I read a great deal of Richard Bach, which fed my ever-present philosophical side—and no doubt, my readers will see my plots drenching with that impression.

Who is your favorite author?

Undoubtedly it is difficult for any author to choose a favorite, but recently I have been most influenced by Neil Gaiman and George R.R. Martin. It is unfathomable to me how these two manage to create such remarkable works consistently over-and-over. I am also jealous about how prolific they are. Gaiman is a wonderful storyteller and Martin is a wonderful plot-weaver. I am ever aspiring to their greatness.

What book genre of books do you adore?

My favorite genre to write in is interestingly different than my favorite genre to read. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good action/adventure or thriller/suspense—particularly political and historical thrillers of the Dan Brown and Michael Crichton variety. However, my favorite genre to read is high fantasy. I love me some sweeping epics of Lord of the Rings scale. Interestingly, I do have a long-term project that may materialize that fits in this genre—but even those books have a Christopher Grey-esque conspiracy theory feel. Lately have been attached to Steven Erikson, but when George R.R. Martin comes back, I’ll immediately jump over.

What book should everybody read at least once?

Great question. And I have a long list. No, I can’t answer with only one. I have ten. Here they are in no particular order:

The Stand, by Stephen King

Illusions, by Richard Bach

Skinny Legs and All, by Tom Robbins

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams

Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman

Harry Potter, by J.K. Rowling

The Silmarillion, by J.R.R. Tolkien

The Odyssey, by Homer

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Will Shakespeare and the Ships of Solomon, by Christopher Grey

What do you hope your obituary will day about you?

How about my epitaph?

Here lies one Christopher Grey

Who wondered both night and day

Looking for a good villain

Until at last it killed him.

Location and life experiences can really influence writing, tell us where you grew up and where you now live?

I grew up in Denver, Colorado but spent most of my adult life in Los Angeles. I have an attachment to Colorado, much, I think, in the same way Stephen King does Maine, however my experiences are drawn more from my life in Los Angeles. I tend to write about Denver and, in fact, am in the works on a series that takes place there. However, I’ve had the fortune of a very active business life and spent a lot of years on the road. There are very few cities in the U.S. that I haven’t spent a substantial amount of time in and I draw on all of those experiences for my settings. Some of the cities that have most influenced me other than Denver and Los Angeles are San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and Washington DC. Many of my books and stories take place in those cities as I am intimately connected with them and their culture. My debut novel, Will Shakespeare and the Ships of Solomon is, interestingly, an exception. Much of that book takes place in places I’ve never been (i.e. Montreal, Nova Scotia and Bermuda), so I had to do a tremendous amount of research before composing the plots there.

Where do you get your inspiration from?

While it is true authors need inspiration, for me that comes in the “story conjuring” stage. In other words, I am inspired to write a particular story/plot/character arc and that starts the novel-writing process. After that, there is little inspiration. The process is more about commitment to the idea, dedication to completing the project, and rolled-up-sleeve writing until it’s done. I know there are authors out there that must wait for inspiration to write, I’m not one of those. Writing, to me, is no different than going to the office. You need to do it, whether you feel like it or not.

What is hardest – getting published, writing or marketing?

I’m a marketer by trade, so I think I have it easier than some authors with regards to public relations, advertising, marketing programs, etc. However, even as a professional marketer the book business is a unique animal with tons of unwritten rules and antiquated frustrating processes. Now with the explosion of digital publishing technology it is harder than ever to get separated from the herd. Every author needs to be an expert in the publishing business–know it inside and out, from creation to production, distribution and marketing. Without knowing the whole picture it is very difficult to navigate. The author’s job doesn’t end with the manuscript–it never ends.

Do you find it hard to share your work?

It’s hard for authors to think of their novels as anything but children they have raised and brought to college…I mean publication. So, in that case, it is difficult to let the child out in the big, scary world, with big, scary people that will say mean things to it. I’ve found the best thing for me to do is to completely detach myself emotionally from the work. It is probably easier for me, because since I’m a marketer by trade I can look at anything I produce as a “product.” In that sense, it is much easier. A product can be changed, re-calibrated, pushed around and messed with much easier than a child. The sooner an author views finished manuscripts as products, the easier it will be for them.

In the fall of 1947, Will Shakespeare saw the world collapse around him. Shakespeare, a secret soldier for the Knights Templar, barely escapes the slaughter of his entire knighthood at the hands of a rogue militant arm of the Vatican in a small Montreal church. With orders to escort Templar business associate Dorothy Wilkinson back to her home in Bermuda, Will must locate and rescue the most important secret treasure in human history before it is devoured by a hurricane in the watery caves beneath her father’s property. The spiraling quest sends Will and Dorothy into uncovering dark secrets that make up the origins of the knighthood as they confront the traps and puzzles that masterfully protect the world’s most coveted treasure.

Danny Wynn Shares His Memories About Majorca, the Spanish Island #Literary #Drama

My novella “Man from the Sky” takes place entirely on the Spanish island of Majorca.  I first became aware of Majorca in 1987 when I was living in London.  A the time, in the U.K., Majorca was perceived as a vacation spot predominantly for a tacky, low-brow crowd, and there was a famous Heineken TV advertisement in which people recited, in a very low-class English accent, the line, “The water in Majorca doesn’t taste what it ought to” (I think from “My Fair Lady”).  Thus, I had never considered it as a vacation destination for myself.

However, I acquired a Dutch girlfriend, whose mother had renovated an old farmhouse on the island to use as a second home, and my girlfriend essentially said to me, “Look before you laugh.”  She explained to me that it is a large island, and yes, there are some tacky enclaves, but they’re very contained, and the rest of the island is very beautiful and has a lot to offer.  We went to a spot on the mountainous western coast, and I immediately fell in love with the place.  (It was a shame she was so unpleasant on the trip because she had turned me on to one of my favorite places in the world, and that should been a big plus for our relationship.)  There is a certain kind of beauty that is specific to the Mediterranean – a dry green, reddish-tan, and textured rustic beauty – and I saw that Majorca was the finest example of it I had ever seen.  I couldn’t stop looking at the place.  Since then, I’ve been back about two dozen times, the longest stay being six weeks, and have explored much more of the island.  Also, now a close friend of mine lives there with his family, further increasing the enjoyment I get from being there, and making it more fun to go solo.

The main city is Palma – about 250,000 residents, I think – and when I first went to the island, it was quite seedy and run-down.  I tended to stay away from it.  But over the years, as the Majorcan economy has done very well, the city has been cleaned up and re-vitalized.  Today, it is a vibrant, attractive city, with a fair amount of culture and very mild winters (on some days, you can dine outside during the winter).  As I say in my novella, the sun and the sea don’t hurt.

Also, over the years, the cuisine has gone from simple country fare to some of the finest in the world.  There are exceptional restaurants everywhere, not to mention about 100 gorgeous, luxury hotels scattered over the island, mostly in beautiful converted old structures like monasteries and large manor houses.

The best beaches are on the southern and eastern coasts, and the greatest visual beauty is found on the western coast where a 100-mile long mountain range descends to the sea, with villages halfway up the mountains scattered along the way.  The car-rides along that coast are one of those things that belong on a list of things to do before you die.

It not only proved to be the perfect setting for my novella, but it also partly inspired the novella, which is consistent with the fact there is a mountain there said to inspire creativity in people. The island became virtually a character in the story.

I’m headed there again at least once this year, and maybe a second time to promote my book there.  I can’t wait.

How far would you go to add excitement to a life you felt was boring and meaningless?

For seventy-three-year-old Jaime, the answer takes him by surprise. Accustomed to a lonely life high up in the mountains on the western coast of Mallorca, his dull routine is suddenly shattered when a man parachutes from a plane and lands nearby. The plane crashes; the man lives.

It’s a drug smuggling operation gone bad. But Stefan, the man from the sky, has escaped with eight kilos of cocaine in a gym bag. Jaime brings Stefan home and is soon entangled in Stefan’s attempts to sell the cocaine and start a new life.

As they dodge Parisian drug dealers and corrupt Mallorcan police, Jaime’s search for excitement and Stefan’s resolve to find stability lead them both down dangerous paths.

Author Chat with Michael Reisig #Carribean #Adventure #GoodReads

Do you find it hard to share your work?

On the contrary. Sharing your early manuscript is the key to success – it’s where you find your weaknesses and strengths.

Is your family supportive? Do your friends support you?

Very Very Much. 

Do you plan to publish more books?

No, I plan to quit this lucrative profession and get a job as a dishwasher at Denny’s.

What else do you do to make money, other than write? It is rare today for writers to be full time…

I write columns for newspapers. 

What other jobs have you had in your life?

In my early years I was a Rock ‘n Roll musician.

After college I moved to The Florida Keys and started a diving business (collecting live tropical fish, including the more interesting species like sharks, morays, and octopus.) Later I became the pilot for the operation, traveling throughout the Southern Hemisphere. 

Later I flew airplanes and ran boats for other people – mostly late at night – excellent pay. From there I moved the Fort Lauderdale and opened a highly successful BBQ company picnic business. In the mid-80s I sold that business and returned to the Keys, bought a home and an airplane and taught ultralight aircraft flying, as well as giving tourists rides. 

It was about that time that I started writing novels. In 1995 my lady and I moved Mena Arkansas, and I went to work for the local newspaper, eventually becoming the managing editor. In 2005 I opened my own newspaper. After running it for a few years I sold it and semi-retired, beginning to concentrate on writing novels. As of this year I have 10 novels listed with amazon.com.

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

The Caribbean

Tell us about your family?

I was blessed with wonderful parents who encouraged my creativeness, and I have a fine brother.

How do you write – lap top, pen, paper, in bed, at a desk?

Computer

Where do you get support from? Do you have friends in the industry?

Yes, but most of my support comes from friends and family.

How much sleep do you need to be your best?

At least eight hours (depending on what I did the night before.)

Is there anyone you’d like to acknowledge and thank for their support?

My lady, Bonnie Lee. Without her remarkable first editing talents I wouldn’t be where I am today.

Every writer has their own idea of what a successful career in writing is, what does success in writing look like to you?

I could tell you all kinds of humble, wonderful things, but it really boils down to, are you selling books? Because if you’re not, then writing is a hobby, not a job.

The Road to Key West is an adventurous/humorous sojourn that cavorts its way through the 1970s Caribbean, from Key West and the Bahamas, to Cuba and Central America.

In August of 1971, Kansas Stamps and Will Bell set out to become nothing more than commercial divers in the Florida Keys, but adventure, or misadventure, seems to dog them at every turn. They encounter a parade of bizarre characters, from part-time pirates and heartless larcenists, to Voodoo bokors, a wacky Jamaican soothsayer, and a handful of drug smugglers. Adding even more flavor to this Caribbean brew is a complicated romance, a lost Spanish treasure, and a pre antediluvian artifact created by a distant congregation who truly understood the term, “pyramid power.”

Pour yourself a margarita, sit back, and slide into the ‘70s for a while as you follow Kansas and Will through this cocktail of madcap adventures – on The Road To Key West.

IF YOU ENJOY THIS NOVEL BE SURE TO READ THE SEQUEL, "BACK ON THE ROAD TO KEY WEST" (To be released in late August or early September, 2013)

"Jimmy Buffett should set this tropical tale to music! The best Key West stories can only be written by those who have lived here, and Reisig expertly captures the steamy, seedy, beautiful allure of the islands. “The Road to Key West” takes readers on a hysterical journey through the humidity and humanity that only exists in the lower latitudes. And much like the Keys in the 1970s, it’s a hell of a trip.
—Mandy Bolen, The Key West Citizen

"The Road to Key West" combines the dry cleverness of Lewis Grizzard, the wit of Dave Barry, and Reisig's impeccable sense of timing. It's an action-packed, romantic, charming, hilarious take on the ‘70s and its generation. A must-read!

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Michael Reisig takes us back once again to the Key West I wish I had known – and that others wish they remembered more clearly. Kansas and Will are back in “Back on the Road to Key West,” with their trademark penchant for sultry sarcasm and sun-drenched excitement. Once again Reisig captures the character of the Keys in a way that proves he’s been here – and perhaps done that. No one wraps us in humidity and surrounds us with saltwater like this guy, whose tales of the tropics draw us constantly back to their welcoming, yet provocative shores. -- Mandy Miles, The Key West Citizen

Having lived in Key West in the late '70's and early '80's, at a time when Mel Fisher still hunted the Atocha, shrimp boats filled the harbors, and ‘square grouper’ were still an abundant species, Michael Reisig's Back on the Road to Key West, transports me back in time. Will Bell and Kansas Stamps face an assortment of ruthless antagonists and chase adventure with the abandon of the era, and whether you lived it or not, don't miss the chance to now. Vivid imagery, strong prose and an exciting plot make this trip with the boys worth taking. Enjoy the ride!"
-- John H. Cunningham, author of the Buck Reilly Adventure Series

Stumbling their way in and out of trouble and fortune, Kansas Stamps and Will Bell continue to be the idols of what every true Parrot Head imagines real life in The Keys would be -- full of spontaneous adventure. What a great read!

WHAT IF YOU DISCOVERED A DEVICE THAT MADE PEOPLE TELL THE TRUTH?
 

Fast-paced humor-adventure with wacky pilots, quirky con men, bold women, mad villains, and a gadget to die for…

In the third book of Michael Reisig’s captivating series, Florida Keys adventurers Kansas Stamps and Will Bell find their lives turned upside down when they discover a truth device hidden in the temple of an ancient civilization. Enthralled by the virtue (and entertainment value) of personally dispensing truth and justice with this unique tool, they take it all a step too far and discover that everyone wants what they have.

Seasoned with outrageous humor and sultry romances, Along The Road To Key West carries you through one wild adventure after another. This time, Kansas and Will are forced to wrest veracity and lies from con artists, divine hustlers, and political power brokers while trying to stay one step ahead of a persistent assembly of very bad guys with guns.

In the process, from Key West, into the Caribbean, and back to America’s heartland, our inadvertent heroes gather a bizarre collage of friends and enemies – from a whacked-out, one-eyed pilot, and a mystical Rastaman, to a ruthless problem-solver for a prominent religious sect, a zany flimflamming sociopath, and a Cuban intelligence agent. 

In the end, it all comes down to a frantic gamble – to save far more than the truth. So pour yourself a margarita and settle back. You’re in for a high intensity Caribbean carnival ride!

NOTE: Much of this book was originally published as a novel of mine called, “The Truthmaker.” But with the growing popularity of my “Road To Key West” series, I decided to rewrite it and publish it as “Along The Road To Key West.” – Michael Reisig

#Excerpt from The Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo by Holy Ghost Writer #AmReading #Books

To pass the time, the Count takes a nap in his quarters. He dreams of Haydee and Mercedes, and occasionally of Raymee. Just as he begins to rouse, the servant returns and tells Dantes they will be underway within the hour, at roughly one o’clock.

“Good. Now tell the cooks to prepare a feast tonight to celebrate our trip. I want pheasants roasted in plum sauce and plenty of fruits and wine. Spread the word we will start the feast at seven o’clock tonight!”

“Yes, sir,” the servant says as he leaves. He has never had a master such as Dantes before, and counts himself lucky to be part of the Count’s entourage.

Dantes wonders how he will deal with the loneliness on this voyage across the ocean.  He normally has a beloved friend as a traveling companion to share his days, but for the first time since he can remember he is completely alone. He wonders what he will do to while away the hours.

I know that after a short while at home, I have to go to America to search for a plantation as Mother Wisdom has shown to me, he thinks. I also know I have a long, tough job ahead, but I will have time to ponder the best ideas during this voyage. Maybe I can even gain some knowledge from my crew.

Eventually, his thoughts turn to his slaves. You could liken them to the slaves who suffer so deeply in America. How do his own servants feel? Is it wrong that they are bound to him, without any choice? He decides to address all of these questions with them, and hopes they answer honestly. He knows his most faithful servant, Ali, a black Nubian slave, will help him. As always, Ali is not far away and, when called, is at his master’s side in a matter of minutes.

The Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo is a continuation of The Count of Monte Cristo (Book I), related through the voice of Sherlock Holmes and The Sultan of Monte Cristo (Book II). It includes exhilarating new adventures, characters, and ideas, carrying the reader past book I and II and into book III of an ever-expanding new series based on the classic.

Those who have already had the pleasure of reading The Sultan of Monte Cristo will certainly appreciate the unique way in which the Holy Ghost Writer has expanded the original story without the help of anyone (except perhaps from the ghosts of Dumas and Doyle).

In addition to comprising a 3rd sequel to The Count of Monte Cristo, The Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo serves as a prequel to The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
