The Somali Pirate, by Noor Fayrus of the Darod clan, chronicles his growing up in a fishing village under the tutelage of his savvy father to his coming of age in adulthood as a modern-day pirate. Living in Somalia presents a unique set of obstacles that constantly threaten to drag his family down. Noor stays close to his father, whose resourcefulness and charisma keep the family afloat. But when his father goes missing at sea, Noor must find his own way forward and provide for his family. Unable to compete against the unlicensed foreign trawlers, whose illegal fishing practices have all but wiped out the local fish stocks, and with a family member gravely ill, but no money to pay for treatment, Noor becomes a pirate by default. While in his skiff on a piratical mission, Noor's mothership is sunk by a Navy cutter. Stranded on the high seas with a boatful of foreign hostages, Noor must face his greatest test: completing the mission alone. The Somali Pirate is a gripping, first person narrative. Factual backstory has been added by historical writer Quinn Haber for the benefit of those not familiar with the subject matter. If there's anything the reader will take away from this book, is the knowledge that piracy off the Horn of Africa is not as black-and-white as the news portrays it to be. HISTORICAL FICTION

Join surf writer Quinn Haber in his energetic pursuit of perfect waves in the northern Philippines, and read with eye-opening astonishment his valiant and often madcap attempts at courting a local girl there. His observations of the Philippines' far north present a compelling view of Southeast Asian agrarian life, encompassing everything from local traditions, to courtship mores, to exquisite country surf and tourist sites. At heart this is an unpardonable romance novel, unblushingly conventional, strait-laced and amusingly saccharine, and one that is frightfully surfing oriented. In this riveting adventure series set in the rustic agricultural vistas of 'Marcos Country' and horizons beyond, three authentic journals of surfing, romance, and culture shock are united into one great odyssey of discovery, The Volcano Trilogy. (*This updated version, new for 2020, contains a new epilogue and 150 stunning photographs).

What would happen if you did all good, all the time? How far would you go to save yourself and others from sin? Would you be willing to take the blame for another's crime?In this psychological thriller, one young man's extreme acts of selflessness lead to his astonishing fate.Somewhere between the dark mind of a penitent and the radiant heart of a saint lies the soul of The Good Christian - a novella that will leave you both horrified and inspired by one gentleman's extraordinary commitment to heavenly virtue in a world gone mad.From the publisher, PhantaSea Books: PhantaSea Books is proud to present The Good Christian - a psychological thriller whose protagonist assumes the blame for everything, just as Christ willingly carried the burden of man's sins upon his back in a bid to secure their salvation before the heavenly father. The theme explores the apparent koan, or paradox, of Christianity, whereby one gladly rushes towards hardships, sacrifices, and ultimately death as a path to enlightenment, and in ultimate trascendence of man's distressing mortal predicament.The actual read, however, is far simpler than that. It's an everyday story whose theology is implicit in its plot. In a style redolent of Good Will Hunting, it follows the delicate relationship between doctor and patient, and the polarization that can sometime stand painfully between them.You can preview the opening chapter in the e-book version's "Look Inside" feature on Amazon, you can purchase the e-book outright for $1.99, or you can get your hands on the paperback here for just $9.99
