Legendary Locals of Lake County, Florida

By: Doris Bloodsworth,Connie Fleetwood

Lake County has no shortage of characters--adventurous, altruistic, and notorious men and women drawn to an enchanted land of a thousand lakes and lush pine forests in the heart of the "Sunshine State." In 1887, visionaries carved the new territory from neighboring Sumter and Orange Counties and boldly dreamed of moving the state capital to Tavares. More than a dozen communities sprang up, attracting people such as Walt Disney's parents and Wild West legend Annie Oakley. Notable residents through the years include astronaut David Walker, Olympic athlete Tyson Gay, bestselling author Kate DiCamillo, and archaeologist Edgar Banks, who served as the inspiration for Indiana Jones. Inspiring educators and coaches, along with caring doctors and ministers, devoted their lives to helping others. Business geniuses created the largest sawmill in the Southeast, promoted tourism, and built the first citrus juice plant in Florida.

Hoop Lore

A History of the National Basketball Association

By: Connie Kirchberg

In an age where teenage hoop stars sign multimillion-dollar endorsement deals before their first professional tip-offs, it's hard to imagine a time when basketball was among the least publicized of all professional sports. After the game's creation in 1891, establishing a viable professional league was an intense struggle, requiring decades of hard work and dedication from players, owners, coaches and fans. While the game evolved from two-handed set shots, fruit baskets, short-shorts and tiny gyms to slam dunks, shoe endorsements, global popularity and massive urban arenas, the NBA established itself as one of the world's dominant professional leagues. This work, the first comprehensive history of the National Basketball Association, offers a detailed look at how and why the NBA was able to overcome the obstacles that had crushed its predecessors and competitors to become the most successfully marketed league in professional sports. Covered here are Naismith's invention of the game; the rise and fall of the NBL, BAA, ABL and ABA; early teams like the Buffalo Germans and the Harlem Rens; basketball's Olympic debut in 1936; the first professional superstars; dominant franchises; and the current state of the league. Appendices offer lists of early professional basketball leagues and commissioners of the NBA, NBL and ABA.

Weddings Can Be Murder

A Girl and Her Dog Cozy Mystery

By: Connie Shelton

Charlie Parker's brother, Ron, is ready for the happiest day of his life when he will marry long-time girlfriend Victoria Morgan. Charlie will be matron of honor, her husband Drake the best man. But when Charlie stops by the bride's house to pick her up for the ceremony, the place is in disarray and Victoria is missing. And Ron has no proof of where he was the night before, after he and his fiancée had a terrible argument. Was the fight nothing more than pre-wedding jitters, as Ron claims? Or did the unthinkable happen? Things go from bad to worse when the media jumps on the story and the police treat Ron as a suspect. However, as usual, the answers are not quite so simple. Charlie has her hands full sorting out clues from the distant past, learning things about Victoria none of them knew. Praise for Connie Shelton’s Charlie Parker mystery series: “Connie Shelton gets better with every book she writes.” --The Midwest Book Review “Charlie is just what readers want.” –Booklist “Shelton has done a superb job bringing New Mexico to life.” --Albuquerque Journal “Charlie is a fabulous amateur sleuth.” –Midwest Book Review

Frederick Douglass American Hero

And International Icon of the Nineteenth Century

By: Connie A. Miller, Sr.

This is a complex and comprehensive literary about a Black American hero, a story never told before as it has been in this book. Previous authors and historians have not portrayed Frederick Douglass as an American hero who greatly influenced American History. Frederick Douglass was one of the most dynamic and influential individuals during the nineteenth century. He crusaded for the passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the United States Constitution, which were all ratified during his lifetime. He was a friend of President Abraham Lincoln and an adviser to President Lincoln during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Frederick Douglass taught himself how to read and write and became a very brilliant individual as an orator, a writer and entrepreneur. He is the father of the original Civil Rights Movement in America as he fought for the civil rights and voting rights for women and Blacks.

100 Things to Do in Bentonville/Rogers Before You Die

By: Connie Fugedy Cottingham

Bentonville and Rogers, Arkansas, are seamlessly joined thriving communities with vibrant downtowns, an entrepreneurial spirit, a network of trails, and friendly people. Surrounding natural areas encourage a variety of outdoor recreation on trails, lakes, golf courses, a state park, and more. Bentonville Is known best as the location of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the Mountain Bike Capital of the World, and the home offices of Walmart. It is also known for award-winning restaurants, innovative architecture, concerts, and festivals. Rogers is the largest city near Beaver Lake, with the convention center, Walmart AMP (Arkansas Music Pavilion), and shopping. This is one of the fastest growing areas of the nation as Walmart is opening a new headquarters campus, Crystal Bridges is expanding display space, and the housing market is booming. Grammy and CMA Award winning artists perform at two outdoor concert venues. People coming to Bentonville and Rogers—for a few days or moving in—want to know what this area has to offer. Those of us who have been here a while enjoy discovering new destinations. 100 Things to Do in Bentonville/Rogers is a gateway to discovery, an armchair travel guide, a bucket list. Visit the many impressive, free museums. Try a new coffee shop with a unique feature, like The Meteor Cafe, where a bike store blends with coffee, food and wine, and Third Space Coffee at Best Friends, where you can pet cats and dogs, or bike or walk through Color Park to Airship Coffee’s open air cafe, because driving there is not an option. Beaver Lake views along Hwy. 12 can begin a day experiencing Hobbs Mountain State Park, lunch at historic War Eagle Mill, and the refreshingly cool War Eagle Cavern. Join Connie Cottingham as she introduces you to an area where the past is honored, and the future is wholeheartedly and energetically embraced.
