Once upon a time, there was a Jamaican civil engineer living in New York who hated his job, followed his passion, started a sideline business publishing his own books, made enough money to quit his job, escaped the rat race, ran off to a tropical island in the Pacific, and started a tourism business so he could give tours of the island to pretty girls every day...and live a nomadpreneur's dream life. That island is Saipan. That (former) civil engineer is me. This is the story of my Escape from America! (176 pages; 5.5" x 8.5"; ISBN: 978-0974531397) Read more at : https://www.jamaicanonsaipan.com

Yes, there's something about Saipan that endears it to visitors and residents alike. But what is it exactly? Is it the weather? Is it the unique history? Is it the warm, welcoming indigenous Chamorro and Carolinian people? Is it the unique mix of guest workers and expats from all over the world? Is it the unique, possibly magical. energetically enhanced proximity to the Marianas Trench, a combination of all these or something as yet unidentified?

Born in California on December 28th, 1923, Lloyd Glick was a naive 18-year-old boy watching a movie at a theater in downtown Berkeley on Dec 7 1941, when they stopped the movie to announce Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor. Four months later, with his parents' signed permission, he joined the United States Navy. That decision would ultimately land him the position of Musician Second Class aboard the USS North Carolina as a member of the ship's band while it participated in the bombings of Saipan, Guam, Palau, Pohnpei, and battles throughout World War II's pivotal Pacific Campaign. Bugle Boy to Battleship is Lloyd's fascinating account of his two years at sea, as well as his return to visit the island of Saipan 70 years later. Bugle Boy to Battleship includes the actual emails that also tell the story of the unique relationship between Lloyd and his "tour guide" --an author living on Saipan--who became inspired by their correspondence to help Lloyd document his story for this and future generations.

It took a lot of courage for a 25-year-old girl from Wu Xi City in Jiang Shu province, China, who had never flown on a plane, and who had never left home before, to travel 2,000 miles to a foreign country in search of work. It took even more courage to stay once she discovered what life was really like for a factory girl on the island of Saipan in the US Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). This is the only first-hand account of work and life in the garment factories of Saipan. (196 pages; 5.5" x 8.5"; ISBN: 978-0974531342) Read more at www.saipanfactorygirl.com

Vindication! My name is Walt F.J. Goodridge and I'm a tour guide on the island of Saipan! If you've ever taken any of my discoversaipan.com tours, you know I've been avidly promoting the Amelia Earhart-Saipan connection to anyone who will listen...since 2008! Over the years, I've been contacted by Amelia enthusiasts and have arranged personalized meetings with our local residents and experts featured in the documentaries (i.e. Business owner Dave Sablan, Robert Hunter, formerly of the CNMI Museum, and others) to share what they know and believe about Saipan's role in Amelia's fate. I may have forced you to take a photo at the Old Japanese Jail with the prediction that someday, when the truth was finally revealed, you'll say, "That crazy Jamaican tour guide was right!" Well, now it's happened! A photograph has been discovered in the US National Archives that appears to show Amelia Earhart and (more convincingly, visually) her navigator, Fred Noonan, alive on the Marshall Islands AFTER their "disappearance" in 1937. Expert analysis of the photos seems to agree that the likelihood is high the two people in the photo are in fact them! A 2-hour History Channel documentary aired at 9pm US Eastern time Sunday, July 9, 2017 with more details. With all the renewed interest in the Saipan connection to Amelia Earhart's and Fred Noonan's fate, I've created an expanded tour guide booklet for those who've taken my WWII/Amelia tours, those who have yet to, and those who are simply fascinated by her story! This 26-page tour supplement includes - Contemporary photos of sites on Saipan seen during your Amelia Earhart tour - The story, as told by Marshall island and Saipan residents - Lockheed Electra facts and trivia - Photos of Japanese era Saipan (what Amelia saw) - The controversial Jaluit Atoll photograph - Facts and trivia about life on Saipan then and now - Photo Gallery of Amelia from infancy to adulthood - plus: the expanded version of the "Real Story" article/infographic I created for the Marianas Variety See the infographic here: http://www.mvariety.com/cnmi/cnmi-news/editorials/96909-opinion-amelia-earhart-on-saipan-how-to-tell-the-real-story-correctly-a-public-service-infographic Who knows what NEW information may be uncovered in the future! Get this first edition keepsake/souvenir NOW! As this truth becomes more accepted, the day may already be here when those who push an alternative version other than this one, will be cast in the same light as climate change deniers. Don't be a Saipan denier!
