    But something happens which detroys Samantha's trust in Rachel. Can their shaky friendship survive?

     With their incurable curiosity and desire for adventure, they sold all their belongings and flew to America in search of a boat. The pull of the ocean was too strong to ignore any longer. Four years prior, they circumnavigated the globe on their thirty-three foot boat, Mariah. Now they wanted a new challenge. From the perils at Pitcairn to the grand statues of Easter Island, Jackie and Noel set sail south to the remotest inhabited island in the world. Along the way, they lose a friend and come nail-bitingly close to losing their new boat, but they gained so much more: a voyage that left them breathless from fear and a journey of not only travel but of two truly nomadic gypsies. This is a story of storms of emotions and oceans, travel, love and relationships, and two people figuring out life and fulfilling their need to move and be challenged.

    Little did she know that her journey down under would take a dark turn which left her stranded 10,000 miles from home trying to piece back together the fragments of her now broken life. After working hard towards her dreams of becoming a clinical psychologist, Aly had a sudden realisation that there must be something more out there away from the books she had been burying her head into for the past 3 years. She decided to hang her degree on the wall and book a one-way ticket to Australia, a decision which would change her entire life. Through the relationships she made, the jobs she took and the landscapes she wandered, Aly reveals her full story for the first time. Behind her YouTube videos and blog posts remained a deep dark secret that she was never ready to share, until now.

    The full and frank life story of one of the greatest British boxers of modern times, whose unique mix of eccentric personality and strong moral values have made him a role model to thousands of fans the world over.

    It takes real magic to turn a great adventure, into a great book. For one thing, most people can't relate to the mind-set of the long distance cyclist and I found myself laughing along to Tom's thoughts and observations, wondering if they were in - jokes, shared by those who had seen the world at the speed of a bike, for example his relationship with Serbia's stray dogs! . But his anecdotes have a great balance of the cultures and places, as opposed to just inward reflections, so I am sure would be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in travel and human experience. A lovely story, written from the heart.” - Mark Beaumont (around the world record breaking cyclist and adventurer) This was the journey that changed my life. I had dreamed about it for so long, but I never actually thought I'd complete a trip around the globe by bike. It started off as seed in the back of my mind, that grew and grew until the idea consumed me. In March 2011 I set off on the adventure of a lifetime, from my front door, across Europe, Asia and finally the USA. I spent nights in people's houses all over the world, slept in Yurts, camped with nomads, ate delicious food ranging from Tibetan stew to alligator meat, drunk home-made Georgian wine, was given clothes, partied with Kazakhs on the Caspian Sea ferry, saw photos of USSR soldiers in front of statues of Lenin, saw Stalin's house the Grand Canyon and the Great Wall. I cycled through sweltering deserts and over huge mountains. I overcame mechanical problems with the help of an Azerbaijani mechanic and illness due to the kindness of a Tajik Pamiri doctor. On the way I cycled with local people and friends, both old and new. I've written this book to share my story and the amazing experiences that I had. It's not a book full of arty descriptions about beautiful places, it doesn't have any clever metaphors; it's just my story. It tells the story of a normal person spending nine months experiencing the world from the saddle of a bike. I've included bits of history, observations about people's daily life, comparisons of countries and my own opinions as my story is told. I only had one rule; I had to make it round the world on a bike: every inch of the way. I hope you enjoy my story; it will be great to have you along for the ride... The kindle version contains colour photographs from my adventure and the hard copy contains high quality black and white photos.

    Fortunately (or unfortunately?) losing her comfortable office job was the perfect opportunity to do exactly that. At 28 years old, single, unattached, and now unemployed, she took her 2015 Yamaha FZ-07 and built the nimble sport bike into a make-shift adventure motorcycle. She packed it full of camping gear, and set off on an adventure that she had always dreamed about. The problem?

Tiffani encounters some of the best and worst of humanity, meets a friend that eventually makes her journey a little less lonely, and puts all of her riding skills to the test, struggling with everything from her first time riding a sport bike in deep sand to getting caught in a blizzard in the Colorado mountains. It's a big world outside the racetrack! Originally published as a Travelogue in Motorcyclist Magazine as Girl Meets World, this full length memoir contains the untold stories and the details that were a little too racy for the blog.

    Their town is under attack by a rogue shifter, and this time, their werewolf senses might not be enough to restore the peace. TROY The eldest Quinn might look thirty-five, but he’s walked the Tetons, Great Plains, and now Yellowstone for a century. Having served his country in three separate wars, shifting both aliases and appearances, alike—Troy can turn wolf by the light of a full moon and shift back in the blink of an eye—this towering and tatted alpha has inherited the Quinn throne, the clan of which has been operating hidden in Devil’s Fist since the first Native American took his last breath. But when a shy, bookish woman by the name of Reece Gladstone becomes a target after her co-worker is brutally murdered, Troy must untangle his complicated feelings for the librarian, feelings that have been percolating, unrepressed yet denied for years, and use every shifting trick in the book to keep her safe. KALEB Kaleb Quinn, the second eldest of the Quinn clan, likes his women like he likes his meat—raw and juicy. But recently, his playboy approach has been stilted and much to his chagrin, but not because the rumors have caught up to him. In his dreams, an ethereal woman with flowing blonde hair and a distinct darkness behind her twinkling eyes has been creeping in and overpowering his subconscious. Kaleb knows what it means, and who she is—his one true mate who he’s never met in the flesh. But as danger closes in, it seems that all of his dreams are quickly turning into a nightmare he can’t escape. Lucy Cooper has a reputation, as well, but it’s far from flattering. The slender diner waitress has seen the dark, rogue shifter up close and personal, but the Sheriff’s take on the matter, which the residents have also adopted, is that she’s on drugs and not to be trusted. Nothing could be further from the truth, but when a body turns up dead in her apartment, there’s only one man in town who believes her innocence—Kaleb Quinn. SHANE The war might have ended overseas, but Shane Quinn never came back from it. Not mentally. A loner to the bone, with battle scars peppered across his ripped physique, Shane walks the streets like dry ice wafting over cold steel. A smile hasn’t cracked his hardened exterior in all the years his brothers have known him, the running joke being that he was born angry and ready to annihilate. But when the Sheriff’s daughter, Whitney Abernathy storms into his life, Shane finds himself disarmed by her fiery spirit. Given the bodyguard’s fighting nature, this poses a serious problem. CONOR Conor Quinn knows that everlasting immortality for any werewolf hinges upon their eternal union with their one true mate. Three of his four brothers have found safety in having bonded to their destined mates, now functioning with fearless presence and power. Conor finds himself compelled, on a mission to connect with his own. But just because the determined, former marine and secret werewolf has chosen Rachel Clancy to be his one true mate, doesn’t mean that’s their destiny. Or does it? DEAN The youngest of the Quinn clan, Dean puts his love of Devil’s Fist before all else. Rugged and handsome, the tall, brooding werewolf is heavily tatted and deeply scarred and there’s nothing he hates more than a spoiled rich girl.
