Book excerpt: The road to hell is paved with good intentions…and tequila, guns, and cocaine in this “rambunctiously entertaining” (Teddy Wayne) debut novel inspired by the author’s time as Hunter S. Thompson’s assistant. Alley Russo is a recent college grad desperately trying to make it in the grueling world of New York publishing, but like so many who have come before her, she has no connections and has settled for an unpaid magazine internship while slinging drinks on Bleecker Street just to make ends meet. That’s when she hears the infamous Walker Reade is looking for an assistant to replace the eight others who have recently quit. Hungry for a chance to get her manuscript onto the desk of an experienced editor, Alley jumps at the opportunity to help Reade finish his latest novel. After surviving an absurd three-day “trial period” involving a .44 magnum, purple-pyramid acid, violent verbal outbursts, brushes with fame and the law, a bevy of peacocks, and a whole lot of cocaine, Alley is invited to stay at the compound where Reade works. For months Alley attempts to coax the novel out of Walker page-by-page, all while battling his endless procrastination, vampiric schedule, Herculean substance abuse, mounting debt, and casual gunplay. But as the job begins to take a toll on her psyche, Alley realizes she’s alone in the Colorado Rockies at the mercy of a drug-addicted literary icon who may never produce another novel—and her fate may already be sealed. “A margarita-fueled, miniskirt-clad cautionary tale of lost literary innocence” (Vogue), Gonzo Girl is a loving fictional portrait of a larger-than-life literary icon.

Download or read book Nowhere Girl written by Cheryl Diamond and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the age of nine, I will have lived in more than a dozen countries, on five continents, under six assumed identities. I’ll know how a document is forged, how to withstand an interrogation, and most important, how to disappear . . . To the young Cheryl Diamond, life felt like one big adventure, whether she was hurtling down the Himalayas in a rickety car or mingling with underworld fixers. Her family appeared to be an unbreakable gang of five. One day they were in Australia, the next in South Africa, the pattern repeating as they crossed continents, changed identities, and erased their pasts. What Diamond didn’t yet know was that she was born into a family of outlaws fleeing from the highest international law enforcement agencies, a family with secrets that would eventually catch up to all of them. By the time she was in her teens, Diamond had lived dozens of lives and lies, but as she grew older, love and trust turned to fear and violence, and her family—the only people she had in the world—began to unravel. She started to realize that her life itself might be a big con, and the people she loved, the most dangerous of all. With no way out and her identity burned so often that she had no proof she even existed, all that was left was a girl from nowhere. Surviving would require her to escape, and to do so Diamond would have to unlearn all the rules she grew up with. Wild, heartbreaking, and often unexpectedly funny, Nowhere Girl is an impossible-to-believe true story of self-discovery and triumph.

Sandberg, COO of Meta (previously called Facebook) from 2008-2022, provides practical advice on negotiation techniques, mentorship, and building a satisfying career.

When her parents took away her candles to keep their young daughter from studying math...nothing stopped Sophie. When a professor discovered that the homework sent to him under a male pen name came from a woman...nothing stopped Sophie. And when she tackled a math problem that male scholars said would be impossible to solve...still, nothing stopped Sophie. For six years Sophie Germain used her love of math and her undeniable determination to test equations that would predict patterns of vibrations. She eventually became the first woman to win a grand prize from France's prestigious Academy of Sciences for her formula, which laid the groundwork for much of modern architecture (and can be seen in the book's illustrations). Award-winning author Cheryl Bardoe's inspiring and poetic text is brought to life by acclaimed artist Barbara McClintock's intricate pen-and-ink, watercolor, and collage illustrations in this true story about a woman who let nothing stop her.

First star of the night…” Caleb pointed out the living room picture window and helped Delanie to her feet, pulling her to come stand next to him. “Make a wish.” Delanie gave him a long, uncertain look, then glanced at the pinpoint of white light before closing her eyes for several long seconds. He stared at her, drinking in her presence, knowing she couldn’t feel uncomfortable about his gaze if she couldn’t see it. Her eyes fluttered open, and she blushed. “Were you looking at me the whole time?” His face warmed. “Maybe,” he mumbled. “Didn’t you make a wish?” He shook his head. “I don’t need to. My wish is standing right here.” He pulled her into him and enveloped her in his arms. She stiffened, then relaxed and wrapped her arms around his waist, leaning into his chest. “I have a confession to make,” he said. “I never got over you. Not for a single second.” After a pause, she said, “A wish isn’t enough to overcome all the obstacles between us.” “No. But it’s enough to make me believe we could. This time, I have no intention of letting you go anywhere without me. Whatever happens, I want to give us a fair shot.” -- Keywords: small town romance, Hallmark movies, sweet romance, clean and wholesome romance, second chance romance, theatre romance, single dad romance, Canadian literature, books set in Alberta, happily for now, HFN, romance series

Download or read book Scenarios for Singles written by Annette Richardson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Todays Christian singles are as complex and multi-faceted as the numerous challenges they consistently encounter. In Scenarios for Singles, Ms. Richardson presents a collection of scenarios and sketches that portray Christian singles confronting an extensive range of moral dilemmas. Along with each dilemma comes the opportunity to make bad situations better by both knowing and obeying the Word of God. The guidelines for effectively seeking definitive answers are shown through Bible study, critical thinking and group interaction. Richardson, a born-again Christian, relies on her personal experiences and the experiences of others to share relatable situations accompanied by four-fold lesson plans that include a case study, role play, group interaction, and Bible study guidance. Christian singles are encouraged to rely on scripture as they contemplate a variety of questions: Should an unmarried person go out to dinner with a married person? Is fasting more about giving up pleasure or about repentance over sins? Does a woman have a right to wear what she wishes to church? When seeking a mate should all trivial flaws become deal breakers? Can forgiveness bridge a gap in relationships? Single people frequently find themselves inundated with difficult choices and often choose the worlds perspective simply because they are not familiar with the biblical viewpoint. Scenarios for Singles provides the opportunity for Gods people to dialogue about important issues from a solid foundation and a master plan.
