Of the five really exciting, cool, wild, important things to do on this planet, hiking the John Muir Trail is at the absolute top of the list. Give 'Walking Towards Thunder' a read and hopefully it'll light your adventure-fire and I'll see you on the trail next summer.

Two stories are contained within Storming... 'Ho to Kill' and 'Slippery Ish Slips Away'. In both stories, the sea is the only escape. And in both stories, the protagonist is not much of a sailor. Unlike my most well-known book, Assault on Lake Casitas, this newest book is complete and total fiction. Make no mistake, Storming has an edge to it. If you like books with an edge, I think you'll enjoy Storming on the Deep Blue Sea.

DEMON BEAN is about a very determined woman, Fiona Brooks, who fights like hell to keep Starbucks from taking root in her little town of Pacific Palisades, California. Does Fiona succeed? Read and find out.

Back in February, 1986, I signed on to sail in the America's Cup. I was a lowly 'grinder, ' the guy who does most of the work while being yelled at by the other crewmen. FUN! Actually it was a fun for the most part. And hard work. And miserable at times. And scary quite a few times, when the wind was raging off the Golden Gate Bridge. I was a part of the St. Francis Yacht Club syndicate - our 12-meter was called the USA. We had a wildman for a skipper, Tom Blackaller - 'Blacky' we called him. He was a kooky character to say the least. The America's Cup back then was contested in Fremantle, Australia, where the wind would come screaming across the Indian Ocean, right into our faces. Exciting times off the coast of Western Australia. 'Confessions' is a first-person, truthful account of what it was like to be a part of a crazy endeavor, as a worker ant, 'before the mast' as the saying goes. Hope you like it, Brad Alan Lewi

Shell's Gold is my newest literary effort. Read it and instantly feel better about yourself. Instantly. No kidding. It's that kind of book. What's it about? What's it really about? These two questions arise in regard to every book that as ever been written. Shell's Gold is about a guy - Brett Adam Hansen. From certain angles he resembles me. I'm taller than Brett but by any measure he's far looking. What can you do? Brett has met life's challenges head on - and life's challenges have pretty much had their way with him. Nonetheless he's still upright and ambulatory. He can keep a sentient thought in his head. No small feat. Plus he hasn't given up hope. Brett joins forces with Mr. Shell to find a quantity of missing gold. It's not a huge, unwieldy amount of gold that they're after. It's a modest mouse amount of gold. But, should they find the gold, it's enough to set Brett's life on a new course. It won't be easy, finding this gold. No map. Only a vague recollection on Mr. Shell's part as to where it's located. It's out there somewhere, to be sure. But where? So that's what the surface story is all about. Brett and Mr. Shell searching for gold. What's it really about? The Roles. The roles we play through the course of our life. How we're rolling along through our life, inhabiting a certain, specific role - only to have that role vanish in an instant given the right (or wrong) circumstances. The story has twists and turns and sufficient action to keep you reading. I think. I hope. I'd like to think it does. I tried. Give it a read and tell me what you think. Good reading, as always, your humble narrator, Brad Alan Lewis.
