In this book, naturalist Joanna Burger takes us on a series of delightful trips through the Pine Barrens. From the Albany Pine Bush, the Long Island Barrens, and the New Jersey Pine Barrens in the Northeast, to the pinelands of South Carolina and Florida, Burger describes in lively detail how these habitats have come to harbor such a unique assemblage of species. She introduces us to amphibians and reptiles, neotropical migrants and other birds, and a range of common and unusual mammals. Burger also traces the regions' historic and geologic backgrounds, and the impact of human occupation from the time of the paleo-Indians to the present. She revisits the tension between development and preservation, reminding us that a healthy pine barren region requires uninterrupted land and rejuvenating fires, both of which are increasingly jeopardized. Whispers in the Pines is essential reading for everyone concerned with the history and preservation of these unique landscapes and their wildlife.

Hush...don't make a sound...not the slightest peep...hold your breath...the dark can be a dangerous place. If you listen closely, you can hear the whispers. They say, "Once you pick up this book, you'll never want to put it down. Billy Van has given birth to a modern masterpiece of terror...a compendium...a trove. He challenges every fear known to man, and writing it was not easy. Ghosts, ghouls, vampires, werewolves, psychotropes, psychos, serial killers, demonic children, the darkness, and wilderness...the list goes on and on." Prepare yourself...just don't read these macabre and grotesque tales in the dark. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Music is Benita’s life. But after a deeply stressful year of college classes and performances, she’s burned out and desperate for a summer-long break from performing–with an exception. She’s delighted to play her cello at the wedding of her best friends. Logan spends his days as a paramedic, striving his best to serve people on what is often their worst day. And at night, he goes home to solitude and his guitar. When his paramedic partner asks him to be half of the music duo at her wedding, he is honored. Benita is visibly shaken when she learns they’ll be playing duets, leaving Logan curious about what lies beneath her distress. But as they rehearse and perform, their connection grows into friendship. Soon they begin to wonder if, after the wedding, they’ll be willing for their duet to end. Whispers in Duet is a companion novel in the Whisper Falls series that features Mark’s friend Benita and is set entirely in the 21st century.

Our country's first national reserve, the Pine Barrens, harbors a wonderful secret unknown to most outsiders. This 1.1-million-acre treasure trove of pitch pine and sugar sand is home to many rare species and almost 17 trillion gallons of the purest water on earth. It was in this forest that men like Leland Champion logged trees and built sawmills. It was along these waterways that craftsmen like Gary Giberson made prized decoys. And it was in these woods that Stanley Switlik built a tower from which Amelia Earhart jumped, testing his parachute so it could be used in World War II. These woods yielded inventors whose products we enjoy today: cultivated blueberries, cranberry sauce, and Welch's grape juice. It was here that Bob Buchanan reached for the mooring lines as the Hindenburg ended its final, fated voyage. And it was here in Buzby's General Store that John McPhee penned his classic book, The Pine Barrens, setting into motion legislation to preserve this area for future generations.
