Books with author John Groves

While cruising the Caribbean in a luxurious yacht, Princess Callalily and her formidable lady-in-waiting are taken hostage by pirates. Transferred to the pirate ship, they are obliged to adapt to its harsh sea-going conditions. In the course of the voyage, both parties undergo a sea-change quite foreign to their natures. The royal couple acclimatise to the rough life of the pirate ship, while its captain, Black Tongue, is persuaded to give up his disreputable life and go straight. Against all the odds, the princess and the pirate fall in love and plan to marry. But will a reformed pirate be acceptable to the princess ’s haughty family? Can Black Tongue survive shame in the eyes of his crew when they discover his real name? Will he make the transition successfully? Both cheeky and tongue-in-cheek, it is a light-hearted tale, full of quirky characters, including a fictitious Royal Family.

The end is here. The dead walk and the living are on the brink of extinction. Brad and Travis, part of a military search and rescue operation, race against time to evacuate survivors from Seattle, Washington. When the emergency shelter becomes overrun they are re-routed to a secret base, a code Majestic base, in the Canadian Arctic to await rendezvous. Between the isolation, rising tensions, and horrible secrets locked away in the frozen waste, they’ll face a horror colder than the snowy landscape.Cover art by Jonathan Banchick40,000 words

State and federal tax revenues from hydraulic fracturing have grown to $85 billion in 2012, expanding through $1 trllion by 2035. Fracing now represents more than 3% of the nation's GDP, as the revolution spreads to other industries. Fracing is putting America on the road towards energy independence, as crude oil imports have dropped by more than 40% from outside North America. Learn the frac story - the strengths and challenges this new world of energy presents to each of us.
