Phil Stone's Search Ends in a Forbidden Love

By: John Phillip Turnes

Phil Stone's life was evolving rapidly; from his days of teaching school, to his Naval Officer position on a destroyer. When, one day during another attack, the ship was blown out from under him. His life passing in review before him; He discovered two important facts. He never left his post under fire and the sea was unforgiving. He was once again regaining consciousness as he was recovering in the Naval Hospital. His time now was being spent; healing, gaining strength and observing others. Little did he know the importance of this at present; But his life was about to become even more complex in the days to follow, all the way into the unknown. Phil's first assignment after recovery placed him as the new Commander of a Mounted Shore Patrol Station. Where he crossed paths with Debbie Hess: while she was gathering driftwood on the beach. She caught and held his attention by an obsession he could not let go of. Ruth Culp, a business owner in the small nearby town, who fell instantly in love with Phil; admired and tried to comfort him. An untidy looking, meddling Station Doctor Hawkins from town, who prescribed as medicine, for Phil to meet the mysterious loner, Len Hess who was blind. Phil's world was crumbling, who could he tell? Who should he trust? What will happen when the last chips fall?

Brief Lives

By: John Aubrey

Brief Lives (1669-1697) is a collection of short biographical sketches on famous British figures by author, antiquarian, and archaeologist John Aubrey. The work is significant for its unique style, a blend of facts—names, dates, family, important works—and personal anecdotes for which Aubrey combined his skills for research and conversation to compile. Unpublished during his lifetime, the text was pieced together from extensive handwritten manuscripts by numerous editors and scholars, and over the centuries has become a beloved cultural artifact of early-modern Britain. A fascinating figure and gifted researcher in his own right, John Aubrey sought to capture the significance of his era and the people whose contributions to art, politics, science, and philosophy were not only changing Britain, but the world, forever. As a historical record, his Brief Lives provides valuable information on such figures as poet John Milton, playwright William Shakespeare, philosopher Thomas Hobbes, and chemist Robert Boyle. But as a work of art, the text humanizes them, reminding its readers that these were people whose desires, imperfections, and day-to-day lives were not unlike our own. We turn to his works to discover that Sir Walter Raleigh was a “poor” scholar “immerst...in fabrication of his owne fortunes,” or to read that Shakespeare, the son of a butcher who worked for his father as a youth, was known to “make a speech” while slaughtering a calf. At times straightforwardly factual, at others filled with gossip, Brief Lives is a document of its time that attempts to record a living history of knowledge and influence. Whether it succeeds is beside the point—that it speaks to us centuries on is the heart of the matter, the reason it must be read. A well-known man in his lifetime, Aubrey moved between cultural and political circles with ease, compiling the sources that would later become Brief Lives. Although a tireless writer and scholar, he published little during his life. His work, including Brief Lives, is thus the product of centuries of diligent research and editing from numerous scholars who understood, as the reader of this volume surely will, that Aubrey’s work deserved to reach the public. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of John Aubrey’s Brief Lives is a classic of British literature and biography reimagined for modern readers.
