The Castle Mount: Book One of the Adventures of a Time Whore

October 23rd, 2011 by EM Guide | Comments Off | Filed in Travel

Product Description
Imagine if Jenna Jamison starred in Quantum Leap and you’d get Ashlyn Miles. A time traveling cop who stops criminals from the future from changing the past, using her considerable feminine wiles to get the job done.

A government organization called The Department of Non-Linear Criminal Investigations monitors The History, an unchangeable account of the past to spot incongruities caused by time travelers. Some are innocent errors; others are a little more nefarious. Using time traveling technology called TALIS, Ashlyn locates the “non-lins’ and fixes whatever went wrong, occasionally using the help of the locals and getting that help by whatever means necessary. And Ashlyn has developed a definite knack for persuasion.

In the first volume of The Various Histories of Ashlyn Miles, Ashlyn stops a modern day criminal from making a land grab in 13th century Ireland with the help of a handsome, and horny, Celtic prince. But the criminal is like none she’s never encountered before, most notably, he comes from an era before time machines exist.

So, how did he get back there? Did he have help from her time? And how does he exactly who she is, where (and when) she comes from, and, mostly importantly, who told him how he could stop her?

Product Description
At high noon on a cold November day in 1974, sixty-seven-year-old John Wayne faced off with the staff of the Harvard Lampoon on the famous campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The students had issued their challenge by calling the beloved American icon a fraud. Wayne, who had his new movie McQ to promote, responded by saying he would be happy to show his film in the pseudo-intellectual swamps of Harvard Square. After the screening, without writers, the former USC footballer delivered a classic performance. When one smart young man asked where he got his phony toupee, Wayne insisted the hair was real. It wasn t his, but it was real. The appreciative underclassmen loved him and after the Q and A session, they all sat down to dinner. Later Wayne, who was suffering greatly from both gout and the after effects of lung cancer (sadly the Duke only had five years to live), said that day at Harvard was the best time he ever had.

This IS the ultimate traveling companion for Walt Disney World! Amazon. com Review
How many pouches, pockets, bags, and purses do you want to carry at Walt Disney World? And how well will you remember, amid the clamor and frenzy, which sack holds your entry tickets and which your meal coupons, where you put that map and what you did with the hotel reservations? Among the jumble of guidebooks and cameras, souvenirs and sunglasses, important slips of paper elude panicky fingers. But it needn’t be so.

The PassPorter is a brilliant travel aid. It boasts 11 sturdy manila pockets, each clearly labeled, so you know which holds important travel papers (like tickets, itineraries, and maps); which houses papers pertaining to your lodgings; and where to store all the notes, plans, tickets, pamphlets, coupons, and numerous etceteras for each day of Walt Disney World exploration; as well as extra slots for ticket stubs, receipts, and small souvenirs. These pocket pages are also designed for recording important information, such as flight, train, or bus details; target travel budgets; and what you plan to do and where you plan to visit on any given day. Each page has space for jotting down notes and memories of the trip, from meals to weather to the best and worst thing of each day. If you’re not an avid journal keeper, these quick notes may keep your many experiences from running together into one hectic jumble.

The pockets alone make this a useful take-along, but the PassPorter is a thorough source of information as well. There are chapters on planning your adventure, lodging options from hotel to resort, plus a full guide to all the sites and attractions of Walt Disney World, as well as passes, special programs, food options, and maps. With a durable laminated cover, spiral notebook design, and back page of phone numbers (everything from Walt Disney World information to the weather line to MedicClinic), this is possibly the most practical, sanity-saving guide you could take along to Disney World. –Stephanie Gold
