About Man & Horse: The Long Ride Across America:
1974 was a simpler time, a time before cell phones or the internet. Nixon resigned that year. Hank Aaron tied Babe Ruth’s home run record. Mohammad Ali knocked out George Foreman.
In 1974 a disenfranchised young man and a horse set out to do the impossible. With nothing but a hundred dollars in his pocket, a beat up saddle, and a faraway look in his eye, John Egenes saddled his young horse Gizmo and started down the trail on an adventure across the North American continent. During their seven month journey they crossed 11 states and rode ocean to ocean, from California to Virginia.
Together, the pair experienced the isolation and loneliness of the southwestern deserts, the vastness of the great American prairie, and the pressing confinement of big cities and urban sprawl. Across the lonely miles through empty lands they slept with coyotes and wild horses under the stars, camped alone in abandoned mines and graveyards, and experienced the kindness and generosity of people all across America.
Along the way, Gizmo was transformed from a green, inexperienced colt to a veteran of the trail, and John’s search for purpose pushed them onward. With the young horse as his spiritual guide he began to find the peace within himself that allowed his personal healing to begin. Full of heart and humor, Egenes serves up a tale that’s as big as the America he and Gizmo witnessed, an America that no longer exists. It was a journey that could only have been experienced step by step, mile by mile, with a view from between a horse’s ears.

About European Politics on Drugs: A True Story of How Shameless Political Corruption Destroyed a Brilliant Product:
Winston Churchill was one of the first to call for a “United States of Europe” after the Second World War. He envisioned a multinational project based on a common market, one that would create prosperity for all Europeans and prevent future wars. However, the English Brexit and a looming trade war between the United States and the European Union indicate that the EU is currently facing an existential crisis.
2019 is an election year in the EU and may prove pivotal to the fate of Europe. People are starting to realize that the power centered in Brussels has become an uncontrollable monstrosity and is largely dominated by German economic interests. In the background, a growing EU political elite, determined to wield its influence over Europe’s destiny, is increasingly acting without regard for the national sovereignty of EU member states and their elected leaders. These developments have frighteningly little to do with democracy. While serving large economic interests by defending industrial monopolies, the EU is also pursuing a policy of protectionism that is ultimately undermining the rule of law. This is manifesting in the manipulation of global trade, where investment security and legal certainty have become anything but certain. Slowly but surely, the European Union is betraying its own raison d’être.
European Politics on Drugs is a memoir based on the ongoing scandal known as the “atmed Affair,” coined by the former Portuguese European Commission President José Manuel Barroso in 2007. It is the story of how a seemingly innocent sales ban over public health concerns in Bavaria has prevented a simple invention from gaining access to world-wide markets. A real-life economic thriller that is far from over, the scandal continues to reveal the ugly truths hidden in the EU system. In recounting his 25-year Odyssey, the German inventor Christoph Klein documents a dysfunctional EU, exposing the blatant corruption at its core.
In the early 1990s, Christoph Klein developed an improved inhaler actuator for asthma sprays that realized tremendous savings on pharmaceutical drugs. After the initial excitement surrounding his invention subsided, the device was soon denounced as dangerous by the pharma industry and the German authorities followed suit. Banned in 1997 with the active support of the European Commission, Germany, and Upper Bavaria in particular, these authorities have succeeded in keeping this effective medical device off of the global market for over two decades. In 2012, the European Parliament estimated that the ban on Klein’s inhaler had already cost European health insurance programs and their contributors approximately 50 billion euros.

About Fat to the bone:
What if I don’t accept my extra weight? What if it doesn’t depend on the body type in vogue this year? What if it doesn’t relate to my life as a single? What if it’s just a matter of not appreciating the fact that my belly looks like my rear end and sometimes I wake up thinking I twisted my head backwards in my sleep.
There is no body shaming here! Fat to the bone is an exceptional comedic series that captures the personal experiences of the author as a fat person in contemporary society. It takes readers on a rollercoaster journey through the emotional state of mind of the author while exploring various societal constructs that affects the image of fat people. Even the word “FAT” is considered revolting in western culture as it has been attributed to many unsavory traits. Fat to the bone provides a truly exhilarating perspective on being Fat while attempting to correct the malicious attacks and negative stereotypical views about being overweight. This book is about taking a distance from the demonisation of the word “fat”. It’s about being fat, owning it, and most of all laughing about it while seeking happiness. It’s basically just my personal bubbly perspective of the overweight life and how I have recently gotten back on track and made peace with myself, through irony and giggles.
It is a witty, blunt, unadulterated comedy from the horse’s mouth.

About Only in India: Adventures of an International Educator:
We’re moving to India!”
Travel along with two international educators who take the leap and move to Gurgaon, India, to become principals at an Indian/International school. Excited by the opulent marble hallways and the grandness of the school, they quickly learn it lacks even the most basic supplies, like chalkboard erasers. The couple, however, make a go of it and ultimately adjust to the dizzying day-to-day life of Indian society where sacred cows stop for red lights, women wear glittery saris while planting rice, and dreadlocked sadhus go about renouncing all their worldly pleasures.
Part memoir, part travelogue and part tragic comedy, readers will marvel at all the couple has to endure only to end up leaving the school and India abruptly, without even so much as a Namaste. Despite a catastrophe or two, their go-with-the-flow attitudes and kindred senses of humor help them to endure the overwhelming bustle of India, while recognizing and appreciating its distinctive allure.

About Female Dominated Marriages and Families: Strong, Tough, Sexy Women Physically Tame Their Men:
Liz is the kind of sexy blonde hot mom that every man dreams about. In addition to her beauty, Liz also has a killed physique with amazing legs, rock hard glutes, killer abs and an upper body to die for. Liz’s pictures tell just part of the story. Liz can kick her husband’s ass and in her own retrospective way she has thought about the huge benefits of this sort of situation. In a practical way it makes her life better and it’s also a massive turn-on for her.
Several of Liz’s students have been willing to share their stories. These are ladies that can and have conquered their men. They discuss the matches, the aftermath, the advantages and other sexy odds and ends. These women, in some cases, are stronger than their husband and in other cases they simply have the technique to overcome a size or strength disadvantage. Either way the women end up in the Superior position and the men end up humiliated, submissive and often times emasculated.
We then meet Jase and learn about his experiences with his sister and her friends. Jase is a small man and he learns all about the reality of gender battles. Yes, men are usually bigger and stronger, but not always. And the difference between male strength on average and female strength on average isn’t that great and it can be fairly easily overcome. Jase’s journey is humbling, humiliating, sexy and very, very interesting.
This book ends with a re-print of one of our top three reader-chosen ladies. Brenda has lived an interesting life and here she tells all. If you want an inside look at the life of a strong, dominant, sexy lady then this is the book for you. The pics and profiles of Brenda will show you why readers have gone crazy for her.

About Horrormania ’79: Memoirs of a Ten year old Horror Fan:
My name is Kevin Doherty. And I am a Horrorholic.
My horrorholicism began back when I was a kid. The “Famous Monsters of Filmland” magazine was
responsible. The frightening black and white photos of monstrosities, ghouls, and freaks contained within its pages fascinated me and I was hooked.
My life as a young horror fanatic in 1979 was particularly interesting. I had one quest back then. OK, maybe two. One was to acquire a Pressman “Movie & T.V. Horror Make-up kit” from the local novelty shop so that I could win a best-costume contest at a Halloween party where the first prize was a perm. Two, to win the affections of a really cute girl in my class who really dug guys with Afros. Well, buying something for twenty bucks when earning an allowance of seventy-five cents every two weeks was an impossible task, so I had to come up with different ways of raising the money in time for October. I came up with all sorts of get-rich-quick schemes and what an adventure it was. So much so that I felt it was worth sharing by documenting my experiences in a book.
Culled from the yellowed pages of the diaries I kept back then (dozens and dozens of Hilroy notebooks) I have assembled a novelization of my chronicles of the time when horror took over my life!

About Sex Crimes: Then and Now:
“NOBODY KNOWS RAPISTS BETTER”
In Sex Crimes Then, (included free in this two-book package) the woman the press described as one of America’s toughest prosecutors grippingly recounts her career and in the process offers a searing indictment of our justice system. Included are close-ups of her most harrowing cases, among them the predatory pedophile who headed a boy’s club to get closer to victims; the serial rapist who terrorized the city as “The Stalker”: and the violent incest offender who tortured his “property” (his own daughter.)
“My first lesson about sex crimes prosecution,” Vachss writes, “was that perpetrators were not the only enemy.” She shows how the system is heavily weighted against victims. In what has come to be her trademarked term, she brands as “rape collaborators” police officers and judges whose ingrained attitudes aid and comfort criminals; elected officials and attorneys concerned only with their political futures; fickle juries seemingly impervious to compelling evidence; and a legal system skeptical of cries of rape.
Asked in a 2007 interview in The Guardian “Does she miss putting rapists in prison? ‘Hell, yes,’ says Vachss. Would she return to the front line? ‘Am I willing to put up with the politics of running for office, or the backstabbing and infighting of being an employee of an elected official? That’s a much tougher question.’” [Julie Bindel, “The rapists’ enemy”]
Sex Crimes Now finds Alice Vachss, still the same, back in the trenches insisting to a jury: “I don’t have to prove motive. The motive for rape is rape,” and battling a system hell-bent on freeing a monster. Inevitably, Vachss reached a point of no return, “Years before, Richard A. Brown’s response when he was asked why he fired me was that I’d done an excellent job. Ever-aware of the politics of prosecution, Brown had waited until he was elected, not simply appointed, before taking it upon himself to decide how much weight ‘doing an excellent job’ would or would not carry in his office. All these years later this new DA was about to make the same decision.”

About The Skeptic and the Rabbi: Falling in Love with Faith:
As Judy Gruen walked down the aisle and into her Orthodox Jewish future, her bouquet quivered in her shaky hand. Having grown up in a culture that proclaimed, “If it feels good, do it,” was she really ready to live the life of “rituals, rules, and restraints” that the Torah prescribed?
“The Skeptic and the Rabbi” is a rare memoir that is both poignant and funny, ringing with honesty, about what it means to remain authentic to yourself while charting a new yet ancient spiritual path at odds with the surrounding culture. Gruen writes touchingly about her family, including her two sets of grandparents, who influenced her in wildly opposite ways. As she navigates her new life with the man she loves and the faith she also loves―surviving several awkward moments, including when the rabbi calls to tell her that she accidentally served unkosher food to her Shabbat guests―Gruen brings the reader right along for the ride. Reading this wry, bold and compelling memoir, you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and when you’re finished, you may also have a sudden craving for chicken matzo ball soup―kosher, of course.

About I, a Squealer by Richard Bruns:
The year was 1965. The Beatles, Elvis Presley, and The Righteous Brothers filled the air waves. Television shows like “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriett” and “The Andy Griffith Show” mirrored the innocence of life in the dusty city of Tucson, Arizona. But the sun-baked desert surrounding Tucson was hiding a sinister secret. A psychopath named Charles Schmid, later nicknamed the “Pied Piper of Tucson” by Life magazine, would steal that innocence away, along with the lives of three beautiful teenage girls.
At the center of these cases was Schmid’s closest friend and confidant, Richard Bruns. It was Bruns who eventually turned Schmid into the authorities, resulting in Schmid’s arrest and conviction for multiple murders. After Schmid’s arrest, Bruns wrote his firsthand account sharing the evolution of his friendship with Schmid, the details of getting involved way in over his head, and how he finally summoned the courage to blow the whistle to end Schmid’s deadly rampage. His firsthand account is now being released to the public for the first time.
This is not a book of memories distorted after years of passing. Rather, this was written over 50 years ago at the time of the trials. Here, Bruns takes you into the scenes and events as only an insider can, shedding new light on the infamous “Pied Piper of Tucson” murders.
Here’s what reviewers are already saying about “I, a Squealer”:
“A fascinating and disturbing account of Bruns’ friendship with, and ultimate betrayal of, serial killer Charles Schmid.” -5-Star Review, Reader’s Favorite
“Bruns succeeds in honoring the inviolability of friendship despite unmasking a barbaric fiend beneath the guise of his friend.” -5-Star Review, Foreword Reviews
“I, a Squealer gives a rare opportunity to read an insider’s view. It provides a thought-provoking read that is absorbing from the very first page.” -CrimeTraveller.Org

About Before I Let You Go: Stories for My Grown Son by Kirsten Wreggitt:
In this memoir, every mother will find heartfelt messages that resonate. “Before I Let You Go” takes you on the emotional journey of striving to raise a perfect child knowing how deeply imperfect we all are. Kirsten’s beautiful words will draw empathy from deep within each reader. She bravely puts into words the lessons that mothers know will help their growing boy become a good man.
“I was petrified we would have a girl. Everything about having a girl was horrible to me – the princess parties, the fear of her safety, and the emotional roller coaster ride. But mostly I was afraid she would be like me – suicidal, unable to make brave choices, and trapped inside a body she didn’t love. I was terrified I would have to face that mirror in two places everyday.”
“Before I Let You Go” is a journey of Kirsten Wreggitt’s life through motherhood and marriage, and her self-discovery along the way. It is a collection of stories she wanted to share with her grown son about her life’s greatest lessons. These were stories she could not talk about with him because they were too uncomfortable or raw. As she says “In here I can say the things that catch in my throat. I can say the things that make your eyes roll. In here I can safely share what I have always wanted to tell you but there just was never the right time.”
Among the many stories in this book, Kirsten shares the difficulty of marriage, the struggle to love herself and her body, the triumph of facing her fears, the pain of loving a child, the regret of decisions, and the freedom of knowing yourself. She discusses these with a rare honesty and sometimes offers up surprising advice as a result.
It is a woman’s reflection on the halfway point of her life and the journey to get there. She shares the joy of being in the moment: “I am not anticipating the next stop, I am here paying attention and loving what I see.” She shares the struggle with finding her purpose: “And still what if I never really know why I am here? I still must eat. I still must drink. I still must sleep. And I must love. And love? Even if that is all there is, that changes everything.” And she shares her most difficult question of all: “I am face to face with my mortality and though I have loved others and was loved by others, the only question that remains was “did I love me?””
