CLICK LINK FOR YOUR OWN COPY From December 1961 through early March 1962, I participated in the 16th Chilean Expedition to the Antarctic. In recognition of my work, the US Board of Geographic Names in October, 1964, named the geographical feature Cohen Islands, located at 63° 18' S. latitude, 57° 53' W. longitude in the Cape Legoupil area, Antarctica, in my honor. I think the 4 months I spent “on the ice” were perhaps the most exciting—and challenging—of my life. They involved episodes of high adventure, many of which I captured in my book Cold Blood: The Antarctic Murders Trilogy. The instant volume, The Antarctic Chronicles, is intended as a distillation of the trilogy's more exciting stories, comprising tales of mystery, mayhem, and murder in South America and the Antarctic. Like the making of great cognac, wherein wine is double distilled in an intense process unique to this variety of brandy, I have selected for publication here those stories I think will give you, the reader, the best understanding of what scientists and explorers face when attempting to work on the Frozen Continent.

CLICK LINK FOR YOUR OWN COPY In 1965 Fate released the first book in its bestselling “Strange” series, reprinting many of the publication's most acclaimed reports of paranormal phenomena selected from its pages. Over the next ten years the “Strange” books sold over 6,000,000 copies worldwide. Strange True Encounters & Unearthly Experiences is the first new book in the series in over three decades, and features: Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics at Yale University on discoveries at Anatolia‘s Gobekli Tepe suggesting civilization is far older than previously believed. Gregory Sams on unfolding evidence that stars may be conscious. Janet Brennan on Europe's mysterious Black Madonna statues. Martin Cadin, ex-member Federal Aviation Administration, on his personal experiments using telekinesis. Michio Kaku, Professor of Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York, on our ten-dimensional universe and paranormal phenomenon. Journalist Chris Friar on 19th century UFO sightings proving they are not a modern phenomenon. Actor Anthony Quinn on the “profound mystical experience” in the Sinai Desert that changed his life. Plus over a dozen other accounts, investigation and in-depth reports on the Ouija board, remote viewing, poltergeists, Kansas' sacred sites, the U.S. warship that was saved by an angel, and much more. We believe this brand-new entry in the “Strange” series – is in every way the equal of its predecessors. And will prove every bit as entertaining and enlightening as the earlier books did. (Asked where he got the ideas for his stories, Steven King credited Fate. “My mother used to read me Fate Magazine, which was about the paranormal, flying saucers…all that stuff. I was fascinated.”)

CLICK LINK FOR YOUR OWN COPY A COLLECTION OF STORIES ABOUT WOMEN-LOVING WOMEN GETTING ACQUAINTED, FALLING IN LOVE, LOSING THEIR ILLUSIONS, AND REGAINING HOPE FOR THE FUTURE Although most of this collection fits loosely into the category of contemporary erotic romance, there is some historical fiction, some fantasy, and a ghost story. I'm never sure exactly where ghosts fit in because all fiction is believable on some level, and completely unreal by definition. People have a spectrum of beliefs about unseen spirits—and about deep soul connection, for that matter—and belief can waver from one moment to the next. Regarding gender, all the major characters in these stories are women. Never fear, the men don't take over. Our progress is currently challenged by a rising tide of hate toward everyone who is not a heterosexual white man in the top income bracket, but just as an exuberant bag of popcorn can't return to being a handful of kernels, lesbians or queer women aren't likely to go back to the invisibility of yesteryear. What can be imagined can't be unseen. Welcome to the world of Jean Roberta's imagination.

Though Tess has fought her attraction to women for years due to her strict religious upbringing, she finally succumbs when she meets the passionate, perceptive Diane. But her husband's anger, her family's dismay, her own self-doubts, are only the first barriers in the way of her love for Diane. Diane refuses to continue their relationship until Tess comes out of the closet and accepts herself for what she is. Reeling and torn between two worlds, Tess must come to terms with herself if she is ever to know true happiness. Erotica and romance mix in this unique novel only TreSart L. Sioux could have written.

Plagued by nightmares stemming from his wartime experiences, he was easy pickings for a woman like his commander's wife—beautiful, restless, and the wrong kind of woman for him. What happened when they got together would be nothing less than murder.

CLICK LINK FOR YOUR OWN COPY David Morrissey's life is near-perfect. A widower with a teenage daughter, he teaches at an ultraconservative Southern preparatory school, had been voted Teacher of the Year three times, and is engaged to the daughter of the chairman of the school's board.

The school board takes a jaundiced view, however, if a trifle belatedly. In short order, he loses his job, his fiancée, and has television and newspaper reporters beating down his door for interviews. It's all just a little unfair. David isn't taking it sitting down, however. He's preparing to fight back against the board's decision. Little does he know that this newsworthy event will bring back into his life the woman he loved and lost, and another much bigger, more important secret.

CLICK LINK FOR YOUR OWN COPY BEHIND THE SCENES DURING THE BUILDING OF THE PANAMA CANAL Undaunted by a mysterious disease killing workers, Teddy Roosevelt stakes his presidency on building the Panama Canal. The day Teddy Roosevelt learned McKinley had died and he was now president of the United States, he made up his mind he would cut a canal through the Isthmus of Panama. No small task. The French had tried and failed with more than twenty thousand dead. Roosevelt wasn't alone in wanting to see a canal. The Wall Street financier, J. P. Morgan, wanted it too, and so did revolutionaries in Panama. Morgan wanted a shorter route for his ships and was willing to secretly finance the insurrection against Colombia, who owned the territory of Panama. Not everyone was wild about America in Panama. A radical young patriot with ancestral roots going back 400 years would do anything to stop the Yankees, including murder. There was another more insidious obstacle, a mysterious disease killing workers. The president sends Colonel Goethals to Panama to direct construction. Goethals thinks he knows how to avoid the terrible landslides that ruined the French. He also sends Major William Gorgas, the epidemiologist that rid Cuba of yellow fever during the Spanish American war. Gorgas requests the support of Captain Garrett Hay, the Secretary of State's nephew, who served in Cuba as a doctor. Gorgas also wants to send a civilian scientist, Hiram Walker, who is married to Emma, Garrett's former much younger lover, who deserted him years earlier without a word. They meet again aboard the Athena on their way to Panama. Neither is quite sure whether their love affair is over.

A violent band of Civil War veterans who roamed the Badlands were roused from their restless inertia by the murder of the Colonel they idolized. The towns simmered and hatreds flared up anew and every stranger became suspect. Since Smoke Wade was a stranger, when he stepped out of the hotel a dozen tough and sullen men were waiting for him. They followed him down the dusty street like a pack of hungry dogs stalking a young deer. Someone in their midst spoke the word. "Murderer." The word became a chant, a chant that seemed to sweep through the town. Hanging fever had come to the Dakota Territory! Before long Smoke Wade paced a jail cell . . . listening to the angry rumbling of the mob outside. He had suspected it before, but now he was sure—someone was heating up that mob, trying to make sure he didn't leave his cell alive. He remembered how he had ridden into this boomtown, a stranger with an itch to follow the wild wind, a simple cowboy with too much nerve and a ready gun. He had tried to help a man in a fight, and the next thing he knew he was in a cell, with a hangman's noose awaiting him. Why? For the murder of a man he had never even heard of, a murder that had occurred two days before Smoke Wade had come to town! As he listened to the bloodthirsty cries outside, his anger grew, He vowed to get out of there, clear his name and pin the guilt where it belonged. Up to then, there had never been a horse Smoke Wade couldn't ride or a man he couldn't lick — but this time he'd have to fight a whole damn town! He was a rough and tumble cowpoke who never came across a fight or a bet he was afraid to take on, and was thought by most to be just another pistolero for hire. But he always seemed to be on the side of justice when the powdersmoke settled.

The 26 stories in Family and Other Ailments teeter on the brink, hover at the periphery, or even the possibility, of crime. Under a soft light and at an angle, they're all love stories. The collection opens with “Spy Head,” a tale of friendship after a crushing trauma. In “Texas Two-Step,” brotherhood leads to a wicked double-cross. “Razorbills” shows a young woman seeking freedom from the prison-like caring of her sibling. “Black and Tan” slips into domestic horror, as does “Mutti,” with a hint of the fantastic. “Hour of the Bat” and “Bag Limit” are deep-woods Texas noir, while “A Head for Numbers” and “No Recoil” go west, to the stark unforgiving beauty of the desert. M. E. Proctor draws characters with a tender touch. She catches them at an inflection point in their lives, a moment of choice. We feel what they feel, see what they see, and their voices linger for a long time in our memory.
