New Novel, A Cult in Paradise, Available Now

During the last few weeks, A Cult in Paradise has been featured on this site. It is the fifth book in the Trace Troy Adventure series. It will continue. However, it is now available at Amazon. Here are the links to purchase it in Kindle form or paperback.

For those not familiar with the backstory of the Trace Troy Adventure series, I’ll provide it. In the early 60s, the television series Adventures in Paradise ran for three seasons. It featured Gardner McKay as Adam Troy, the owner and captain of a freight schooner, The Tiki.

I have expanded on the story. Adam Troy returned to Texas and settled into a life as a rancher. He becomes a widower, but raises a son, Adam Troy III, who is called Tres (three in Spanish), but spells it "Trace" so it can be pronounced correctly. Trace decides to explore the South Seas as his father did, decades earlier. Thus, The Trace Troy Adventure Series.

The following is a list and link to previous Trace Troy Adventure novels.

A Coup in Paradise

The Big Gamble in Paradise

Gold in Paradise

Two Tamas in Paradise

Click, buy, read, and enjoy.

Thanks much.

The Jittery Goat

Think of The Jittery Goat as a little coffee shop where simple folks meet. The coffee is either black or with cream, and/or sugar. Decaf comes from the same spout as regular. It's not ordered with an exhaustive recitation of jargon only a barista understands. It's where the coffee isn't paid for with a plastic card; it's the loose change in your pocket and if you ain't got enough somebody will pitch in or you can catch it the next time. You'll find good short stories here. We don't put up with the type of language that will make your grandma leave the room, yet we aren't so prudish that it will put your grandpa asleep either. Don't be afraid to join in; feel free to comment on the stories. We try to keep it short as in "short" story. That means we won't take up more time than it takes for a couple of sips from your coffee. In case you haven't noticed, on the other side of the page are a list of novels. Just click on them and that will take you to Amazon. There you will find either hard copy or ebook editions. They are reasonably priced. For about the price of a latte or two you can buy a good book. I'm glad you stopped by and hope you return. All my best, Byron Lehman

Two Tamas in Paradise

Trace Troy sails his two-masted schooner, The Tramp Islander, back to Suva, Fiji. Trace and the remainder of his crew, Sage and Makani, make plans for the next trip; they need a couple of deckhands. However, waiting at the dock is Trace's father, Adam, and Sage, 's father, Coyote. Rather than find a new crew, Adam and Coyote volunteer to sail with them on the next adventure. Trace agrees to transport cargo, along with four nefarious passengers, to an uninhabited island. The crew and passengers face trouble, dangers, disappointment, and finally contentment.

The Pilgrim's Return

This is the seventh book about Rich Larsen. He completes his trip sailing around the world. His journey takes him to The Canaries where he is pursued by an old foe. Next he sails to Funchal where his friend, Elbert, has some unfinished business. He spends a year on Belle Ile en mer off the coast of France. It is there he finds the love he has always longed for. Rich completes his odyssey around the world and estrangement from his parents by returning home. What he finds is not what he expects.
