My Life and Rugby
Summary
The Sunday Times best seller. Brilliant, honest, combative - Eddie Jones is a gigantic yet enigmatic figure in world rugby and a true legend of the game. In My Life and Rugby he tells his story for the first time, including the full inside story of England’s 2019 World Cup campaign. Since taking over as head coach of England in 2015, Eddie Jones has orchestrated a complete revival of the national team. He has won the Six Nations Championship back-to-back, including England’s first Grand Slam in a generation and their first-ever whitewash of Australia in their own backyard, as well as taking them on their longest-ever winning streak, matching the world record held by the All Blacks. Eddie Jones is one of the most experienced and decorated coaches in Rugby Union. His career has spanned four World Cups: from the 2003 final, working with South Africa when they won in 2007 and causing the greatest upset in the history of the game in 2015 when he masterminded the Japanese victory over South Africa. Most recently, he led England on their incredible run at the 2019 World Cup, culminating in a stunning victory against the All Blacks before falling to South Africa in the final.Learning from the extreme highs and lows of his own playing career – including the numerous successes playing for Randwick and New South Wales but also the painful disappointment of never playing for Australia – he shows what it takes to be the best in the world and how everything he has learned about the game, both on and off the pitch, has gone into plotting England’s route to the top of world rugby. Written with Donald McRae, twice winner of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year award and three-time Sports Feature Writer of the Year, My Life and Rugby is the story of one of the most compelling and singular figures in rugby. Told with unflinching honesty, this is the ultimate rugby book for all fans of the sport.

But Nick Caden's vacation becomes a nightmare when this "living" ghost town takes a deadly turn toward trouble. Soon Nick finds himself trapped in a stable with the infamous outlaw Jesse James.

Soon Nick is caught in a deadly chase - from an abandoned gold mine, through forbidden buffalo hunting grounds, and across Rattlesnake Gulch. Around every turn he finds another suspect.

Curse of the Black Avenger: Blood Sails, Dark Hearts (The Caribbean Chronicles)
Summary
If you drowned and the sea spit you out, thrusting you back into an age of pirates, buried treasure and beauty beyond belief... would you stay? Ricky Bradshaw has never sailed the Caribbean Sea, searched for buried treasure or battled pirates on the deck of a Spanish Galleon. He's never fallen through the floor of Davy Jones' locker, befriended a witch doctor or watched an old fisherman morph into a porpoise. All Ricky knows is his lonely life with his widowed mom in a tiny apartment overlooking a marina on the Chesapeake Bay. But all that changes on a snowy Christmas Eve when Ricky's apartment building burns down and he falls into the chilly waters while trying to save Barnacle, a mangy mutt with shrimp breath. Suddenly Ricky finds himself confronted by his neighbor, a young woman in a pink bathrobe who jumped to her death in order to escape the flames. She offers him a choice: go with her to a wonderful afterlife where snowflakes taste like candy or return to the dreary old world he knows. Ricky picks the past and awakes on a raft in the middle of the sea where there is surprising beauty on every island, danger around every corner and great honor and glory ahead of him... if only Ricky can summon the courage to survive the curse of Captain LaFoote.

The Day the World Sneezed: March 12, 2020
Summary
This summer, one man will travel miles...to a forgotten people...to save a nation...and honor his wife. The Day the World Sneezed tells a story of hope, helping others, and finding the "lighthearted" moments in the midst of tragedy. There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, "Father, give me my share of the estate." So he divided his property between them. Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country, and there...wait, wrong story! There was a man named Elmer who had no sons. The man had a wife, but she died, so he divided all her Amazon purchases between a barn out back of his farm house and a storage facility in a rural part of America that almost no one ever visits. Not long after that, a man from the Bureau of Land Management stopped by to ask if the old man was stockpiling cleaning supplies - supplies vital to stopping the spread of a really bad "crud" sweeping across America. Elmer said he was. The bureau man made Elmer an offer he could refuse, which Elmer did. Not long after the bureau man drove away, Elmer got together all he had, set off for a distant country, and there...is where the story begins - as does our story during this weird time in history we call 2020. Elmer's journey covers news reports as they happened from March 14 through April 6. This is by design. Years from now listeners may wonder what all the fuss was about. Part of Elmer's story is to document events as they happened during his journey in the weeks following the spread of COVID-19 across America. As with all things in life, Elmer faced a choice: work for the good of others or serve and save himself. The Day the World Sneezed is one man's account of how he lived by the Golden Rule.

No Good Stede Goes Unpunished
Summary
Would you risk your life to go back in time to the golden age of piracy? At the conclusion of a seminar on “Trances and Visions: Exploring the Out-of-Body Experience”, the wealthy daughter of a prominent physician approaches Ricky with an offer: "If my father could fix things so your mother would receive the best cancer treatment for free, would you go back in time to clear my ancestor’s good name?" Ricky explains that he can’t simply will himself to have an episode and take a time-travel trip. "Absence seizures don't work that way. Even if I could go back, I can’t control when and where I end up.” But Ricky also knows there have been instances where someone claimed they slipped into a trance and saw past and future events: John, the apostle of Christ Saul/Paul, also an apostle of Christ Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter-day Saints Black American slave Nat Turner, who led the only effective, sustained slave rebellion "They saw things," Ricky says to the rich girl, "but didn't change what happened in the past." Then, for the third time since last Christmas, Ricky experiences a short period of “blanking out” - of staring into and sailing through space and time. Moments later, Ricky finds himself in pirate land with Stede Bonnet, a rich sugar plantation owner who thought becoming a pirate might be a fun way to live out the rest of his life. And for Bonnet, it was a yabba dabba doo good time right up until the moment Ricky stepped aboard the Revenge. They set sail from Barbados with Bonnet’s crew, and as they slant west toward the North American coast, they run afoul of the British Royal Navy, the good citizens of Charleston, and the pirate Blackbeard. Will Ricky swing by the neck or die on the deck? Would you risk your life to go back in time in order to save your mother?
