From Out of the Smokies
Knoxville native Charlie Tombras may be best known for his fifty-seven-year leadership of the nationally recognized advertising firm the Tombras Group, but in his moving memoir, From Out of the Smokies: Stories of Fly Fishing and Life, he chronicles his personal journey, letting business take a backseat. Born and raised in the Smokies, Tombras grew up exploring mountains and streams, fostering an appreciation for nature and fly fishing that would follow him through a tour of duty in Vietnam and into adulthood. With a relatable, often humorous style, Tombras recollects adventures spanning eight decades and the resulting lessons of friendship, loss, and love that he learned along the way. Emphasizing the value of hard work and perseverance, Tombras thoughtfully examines his lifelong love of fly fishing and leaves no stone unturned as he takes readers from childhood to adulthood in vivid memories and captivating prose. From exhilarating tales of white-water canoeing in Northern Labrador to grief-stricken seasons of loss, Tombras's memoir of spirit and adventure provides a nuanced portrait of a successful man--in business and in life. Through his sporting adventures and other personal experiences, Tombras continues to learn how to weather storms in whatever shape they may take and how to grow in the face of adversity. Much like the wild rivers that Tombras explored and loved, From Out of the Smokies will inspire readers to accept and marvel at forces beyond our control.

The Wandering Pilgrim
Adventurer John Dunlop's first book in the Wandering Pilgrim series gave gripping accounts of his several journeys in the mountains of the Himalayas and New Zealand. In this second volume he turns his attention to escapades closer to home but none the less challenging.Again he brings to the fore the contents of notebooks in which he recorded incidents, thoughts and impressions as he travelled.They provide a unique on-the-spot record of walks undertaken over several decades. He tells it as it was - the now and then - rather than offering an unreliable memoir based on distant memory.Fresh as when they were written, John Dunlop's diary notes tell of the highs and lows (literally and metaphorically) of facing the rigours of venturing alone into mountainous wilderness where few others have been.There is no striving to impress in his commentaries. They are a highly personal record, almost chatty and straight to the point. The thoughts and experiences of a young man taking his first tentative steps into the mountains, as well as those of his older and more experienced self in the decades that followed.The reality of the moment leaps off the page, whether it is the joy of scaling the heights in summer sun or being sleep deprived, cold and wet while tent-bound for several days as fierce storms batter his flimsy shelter.The writer shares the joys and disappointments, the setbacks and the triumphs of conquering Tasmania's remotest peaks. And for those who may follow in his footsteps he provides useful lists of equipment and food as well as details of flora and fauna seen along the trailsAs with his first book, these detailed accounts of his adventures provide a unique insight into the hows and whys of those who venture far from the beaten track.It is a captivating read for fellow adventurers and armchair travellers alike, written by a quintessential wanderer, explorer and sometime alpinist who now lives in a solar powered pole house in the tropical rainforest of far north Queensland.

Hearts Adrift
How did I end up falling for the one man I swore to resist?Jorge is the last person I expected to get under my skin. Older, infuriatingly meticulous, and entirely off-limits, he embodies everything I didn't know I needed. From the moment we met, the tension was palpable, like a storm waiting to break. I came to the Bahamas for a change of pace, not to lose myself in a man who turns my world upside down.Working together on daily dives, we're always in each other's orbit-totally forced to be near one another. With every shared glance and unspoken moment beneath the waves, I see his guarded exterior crack, revealing glimpses of a heart that beats in time with the ocean.A shared laugh over a stubborn piece of gear, a sunset that feels like a secret, and the way he looks at me when he thinks I'm not watching-these moments shift everything. What seemed impossible becomes undeniable.But as I fall deeper, the reality of my return ticket looms. Our lives are worlds apart, and the distance feels insurmountable.What happens when the person you vowed to resist becomes the one you can't imagine leaving behind?Would you risk it all for love?
