This book is about the Golden Gate Bridge, one of America's most loved engineering miracles. The points of difference between our book and others books about the Bridge are simple and elegant. Firstly, we let the Bridge, its planners, builders and operating professionals tell their own story. Secondly, we used a large scale format, 10 1/2 x 13 3/4, with many fascinating photos to showcase our majestic subject. Finally, we conceived a series of "historical snapshots" - pictures of world events that run concurrent with the construction of the Bridge and the formation of today's Tranportation District.

After years of frustrating fertility problems, Ellen and Eric Sommers are delighted when they find out they are expecting their first child.  Their friends and family share their joy, but a stranger also revels in the news. Frank Mallory has suffered his own frustrations in his attempts to become a family man and believes his destiny is to create a family by whatever means necessary, including murder.  Frank's maniacal fantasy unfolds as he kidnaps Ellen and plots Eric's demise by framing him for Ellen's murder.  Using blood and hair he extracts from his kidnap victim, Frank creates a trail of evidence that lead police to Ellen's husband. The District Attorney's office follows suit and indicts Eric for his wife's murder.  Frank meanwhile secrets Ellen and her unborn child to his utopian existence - a cabin deep in the remote lake region of British Columbia. It is a race against time as Eric is on trial murder and Frank's fantasy becomes Ellen's new reality.

A Life Without Consequences is a semi-biographical novel from emerging author Stephen Elliott. His novel traces the fate of Paul, a boy whose mother has died and who runs away from a violent father. The book follows Paul from living on the streets of Chicago to passing through juvenile institutions and a state system that is primarily programmed for failure. There, he meets Tanya and they fall in love but they are young and are separated after a failed attempt to escape the institution. Paul battles through the violent system all the while battling his own rapidly budding adolescence. But as he turns sixteen he starts to come to terms with his own path, not as an adult, but as a scared child and we see that Paul’s emotions that we think of as anger are actually the determination to take control of his future. While the characters are fictional, they are representative of many and we realize the fragility of childhood and the burden on the children who have nowhere else to go.
