  • Mage Fade

    C.J. Thompson

    language (, Feb. 1, 2016)
    Mage Fade - A Short StoryIn the beginning, Mage's were something we just heard about. Nothing more than an interesting story. Never in our lives did we expect one to capture us. See, after the war, we were forced to live in the Greylands. It was the place that all of the elves ran to for safety. Cold and harsh, life wasn't easy as we managed to survive hiding in holes.As brothers, we had each other, but that was about it. Life wasn't ideal, but at least we were together. Of course, whether you know it or not, time is always ticking as you head towards your destiny. It was that one moment that changed everything. If the Mage didn't find us, it would have been different. It had to be.
  • Lost!: A Harrowing True Story of Disaster at Sea

    Thomas Thompson

    eBook (Open Road Media, Dec. 13, 2016)
    From the bestselling author of Blood and Money: A haunting true story of three people locked in a fierce struggle against time and the sea—and each other. In July 1973, Bob Tininenko; his wife, Linda; and his brother in-law, Jim Fisher, set sail from Tacoma, Washington, on a thirty-one-foot trimaran down the West Coast to Costa Rica. The journey was expected to take a matter of weeks, but ten days into the cruise, the party encountered a freak storm off the coast of northern California. When gale-force winds and fifty-foot waves capsized their boat, the voyage became a nightmare. For seventy-two days, the trio was lost at sea. Challenged by nature and compromised by a bitter rivalry, their courage and will to live was put to the ultimate test. Jim, the owner and skipper of the boat, was a devout fundamentalist whose recognition of God’s will in every event brought him into increasing conflict with his brother-in-law. As the two men battled to take control of a dire situation, Linda kept a secret that would lead to heartrending tragedy. A “hair-raising” (Houston Chronicle) account of shipwreck and survival and a searing portrait of faith without reason, Lost! is an unforgettable true story from “a writer of tremendous power and achievement” (Detroit Free Press).
  • The $12 Million Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary Art

    Paperback (St. Martin's Griffin, April 13, 2010)

Don Thompson explores the money, lust, and self-aggrandizement of the art world in an attempt to determine what makes a particular work valuable while others are ignored.This book is the first to look at the economics and the marketing strategies that enable the modern art market to generate such astronomical prices. Drawing on interviews with past and present executives of auction houses and art dealerships, artists, and the buyers who move the market, Thompson launches the reader on a journey of discovery through the peculiar world of modern art. Surprising, passionate, gossipy, revelatory, The $12 Million Stuffed Shark reveals a great deal that even experienced auction purchasers do not know.
