Gary Craig, actor, singer, and renowned radio personality, amused audiences on stage, film, television and radio. He punked Walter Cronkite and tricked Whitney Houston.

Hartford’s #1 morning radio personality finally pulls the mask from the myriad of myths surrounding him. Hilarious anecdotes, riotous pranks, and sidesplitting stories regale you with the raucous roots of his radio reign from humble beginnings to his current spectacular ratings on Hartford’s beloved WTIC-FM morning show, Craig and Company. Follow his footsteps as an underdog struggling to secure a niche career while reaching for the stars to follow his dreams. His upbeat, ribald, all American success story radiates joy and illustrates an inspiring example of how hard work and a determination to overcome obstacles can propel a man to achieve what others can only dream. Larry King says, “I’ve known Gary a long time, and he’s a super talent!”

Excerpt from The House by the Medlar-TreeAny one who loves simplicity or respects sincerity, any one who feels the tie binding us all together in the helplessness of our common human life, and running from the lowliest as well as the highest to the Mystery immeasur ably above the whole earth, must find a rare and tender pleasure in this simple story of an Italian fishing village. I cannot promise that it will interest any other sort of readers, but I do not believe that any other sort are worth interesting; and so I can praise Signor Verga's book without reserve as one of the most per fect pieces of literature that I know.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

BLOWOUT - A PROPHETIC TRILOGYMillions of years ago, a massive methane blowout precipitated an extinction event that killed nine-five percent of all life on earth. More recently, the discovery of thousands of methane hydrate craters, both on land and underwater, is clear evidence that mother nature can be a temperamental goddess and poses an ominous threat to humanity.Methane is found in two different forms. The most common is natural gas. The second and most precarious, is methane hydrate: methane trapped inside ice crystals. Astonishingly, methane hydrate reserves contain enough energy to power our planet for 1000 years.Driven by avarice, fossil fuel barons risk everything to claim a share of this hidden treasure.They know drilling holes into our planet is a perilous gamble and that mother nature is the sovereign guardian.If you respect her domain, she may give up her bounty.

KAUAI ISLAND NEWSMystery surrounds divers’ death“It’s a complete mystery to me.” Those are the words of Dr. George Hiakawa, Chief Medical Examiner for the Kauai Coroner’s Office when asked how a popular shell diver, Tiki Kalani, had died. “Whomever or whatever killed him, left only his skeleton. All the soft tissues, his brain, eyes, internal organs, muscles, tendons - everything was gone. I don’t know of any marine animal that could do that. It must have been some kind of monster.” Tiki Kalani was an avid shell diver. Many of his rare shells were used in island jewelry. His brother, Danny found his body off the west coast of Ni’ihau. “I was shocked when I found his skull and arms sticking out of the sand,” recalled Danny. “The Kailua Fire Department divers dug his bleached bones out of the bottom. It was a gruesome sight. I couldn’t stop crying.” When asked about his forensic investigation, Dr. Hiakawa replied, “I gave a preserved sample of bone fragments to Doctor Willow Parker. She’s a marine biologist in Oahu with an extensive background in DNA analysis. You should talk to her.”

Besides humans, talking dolphins are the only animals that can say..."I love you." Desperate to get their illegal drugs into the United States, the Tijuana drug cartel begins to use enslaved dolphins to smuggle millions of dollars of pure heroin across the border. The brutalized "mule" dolphins are held in cramped metal cages south of the border and are trained to hide within pods of wild dolphins making it impossible for the DEA or police to find them as they swim toward their destination. What can be done to stop the cartel? And how can the enslaved dolphins be rescued? Dive into the world of the talking dolphins - a world where a few of these magnanimous friends have joined humans in the fight against terrorists and criminals.
