Download or read book Diary of a Drag Queen written by Crystal Rasmussen and published by Random House. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize 2020 Life's a drag... Why not be a queen? 'Stories like the one where you shagged a 79-year-old builder and knocked over his sister's ashes while feeding him a Viagra. Or the time you crashed your car because you were giving a hand job in barely moving traffic and took your eye off the car in front. That's the kind of dinner-party ice-breaker I'm talking about.' Northern, working-class and shagging men three times her age, Crystal writes candidly about her search for 'the one'; sleeping with a VIP in an attempt to become a world famous journalist; getting hired and fired by a well-known fashion magazine; being torn between losing weight and gorging on KFC; and her need for constant sexual satisfaction (and where that takes her). Charting her day-to-day adventures over the course of a year, we encounter tucks, twists and sucks, heinous overspending and endless nights spent sprinting from problem to problem in a full face of make-up. This is a place where the previously unspeakable becomes the commendable - a unique portrayal of the queer experience. (c) 2019, Crystal Rasmussen (P) 2019 Penguin Audio

Download or read book Queen of the Hurricanes written by Crystal Sissons and published by Second Story Press. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elsie MacGill achieved many firsts in science and engineering at a time when women were considered to be inferior in the sciences. In 1923, at the age of nineteen, she became the first woman to attend engineering classes at the University of Toronto. She was the first woman in North America to hold a degree in aeronautical engineering and the first woman aircraft designer in the world. As chief engineer for the Canadian Car and Foundry Company she oversaw the production of the Hawker Hurricane, and designed a series of modifications to equip the plain for cold weather flying. Her Maple Leaf trainer may still be the only plane ever to be completely designed by a woman. And she did all this while suffering from polio. In this biography we learn that she supervised 4500 workers and produced about 1450 Hawker Hurricanes by the end of WWII. Elsie was a popular heroine of her time, inspiring the comic book "Queen of the Hurricanes" in the 1940s. In later life she became a powerful feminist activist, advocating for the rights of women and children.

Download or read book No Filter and Other Lies written by Crystal Maldonado and published by Holiday House. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You should know, right now, that I'm a liar. They're usually little lies. Tiny lies. Baby lies. Not so much lies as lie adjacent. But they're still lies... Golden-haired Max Monroe has it all: beauty, friends, and tons of followers. Her picture-perfect existence seems eminently enviable. Except it's all fake. "Max" is actually Kat Sanchez, a quiet and sarcastic 17-year-old living in drab Bakersfield, California. Nothing glamorous about her existence—just bad house parties, a crap school year, and the awkwardness of dealing with best friend Hari's unrequited love. But while Kat's life is far from perfect, she thrives as Max: doling out advice, sharing beautiful photos, networking with fans, even finding a real friend (or more?—Is Kat into girls!?) in a gorgeous Fat follower named Elena. But the closer Elena and "Max" get, the more Kat feels she has to keep up the façade. "Max" is the first time people have really listened to what Kat has to say—and after a lifetime of invisibility (including ice-cold indifference from her parents) can she really give that up? But when one of Kat's posts goes viral and gets back to the girl she's been stealing photos from, her entire world—real and fake—comes crashing down around her. Can she escape the web of lies she's woven without hurting the people she loves? This insightful, provocative novel—hilarious and raw by turns—is the second book from Crystal Maldonado, author of smash-hit New England Book Award Winner Fat Chance, Charlie Vega. Brilliantly plotted, deeply sensitive, and rich in voice, No Filter and Other Lies deftly addresses FOMO, first love, one-sided love, frayed family ties, raced exclusion on social media, queer awakenings, and learning to live with—and love—yourself. Because the most powerful lies are the lies we tell ourselves. Named to the ALA Rainbow Roundtable's Rainbow Book List!

Download or read book The Looking Glass written by Jd Bundun and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joyce Ann Burke had a family like all others. She found herself at age seven suddenly without any family. Her parents separated in 1942 and divorced (rare for that era). Her mother had custody and left the children alone (abandoned). Joyce Ann was awarded to the court, and they in turn incorporated her into the Hendricks County, Indiana Welfare system. She was a welfare child, no parents, no love and no home. She was a textbook waif. She was placed in the country farm home of a sixty one year old widow lady who owned a 110 acre working dairy farm. You see the picture. She was tiny for seven with snow white blond hair and blue eyes. A total stranger she called Grandma would be her new mother, of sorts. Joyce Ann would be the little running legs for this sixty one year old guardian, and essentially a child servant. The white frame farm house was typical of a 1940's farm home without electricity, plumbing, and central heat. This household was totally self-supporting from the farm. Foods were grown there and preserved for winter. Animals were butchered, cows were milked, hogs were slopped and fields were tended. The days were not programmed for play. Totally unaware, she learned life's lessons, and, although sometimes reluctantly, developed a powerful' work ethic. Fourteen years with Grandma produced a young woman who became her own person. It was not easy and decisions she had to make many times were difficult and unfair for a child. Joyce Ann could not afford to make mistakes. Why? She had no one and no where to go. Mistakes were not possible and she knew it. Well, Grandma scared her to death and she walked the walk! Thank you Grandma because Joyce Ann became a woman you would be proud to know today.

This book was released on 2015-10-11 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine being alongside one of the greatest bands in the history of rock, touring the world and being there as they perform at some of the best and biggest music venues in the world. Peter Hince didn't have to imagine: for more than a decade, he lived a life that other people can only dream of as he worked with Queen as head of their road crew. In 1973, Queen was the support act for Mott the Hoople, for whom Peter was a roadie. Back then, Queen had to content themselves with being second on the bill and the world had not yet woken up to the flamboyant talent of Freddie Mercury. Peter started working full time for Queen just as they were making A Night at the Opera, the album which catapulted them to international stardom. In this intimate and affectionate book, Peter recalls the highlights of his years with the band. He was with Freddie when he composed 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love'; he was responsible for making sure that Freddie's stage performances went without a hitch - and was often there to witness his famed tantrums! He was also party to the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll which are invariably part of life on the road with a rock band.

Book excerpt: The New Boy Josh Foley was to discover that starting at a new school mid-term was the least of his worries. Even his getting on the wrong side of the school bullies, and his first ever kiss with his classmate (Rachel Burke) were soon to be surpassed by even more startling events. The Trip of a Life Time Josh has joined his class in time to travel on a school tour to Newgrange’s world famous Megalithic Tomb during the Winter Solstice. It’s also timed to coincide with a solar eclipse. Josh nearly falls into the clutches of two bullies during the eclipse, but sidesteps them by entering the empty tomb. While hiding in the tomb’s chamber Brogan’s comet passes over the moon while the eclipse is in totality. Light passing through the comet that lights up the Tomb’s chamber, triggering Josh’s journey to another world. 'Dust from deep within the cracks overhead started to rain down, and I felt as if my stomach was trying to inch its way up and out my body'. Sabrewolf Raid As Josh exits into a grassy field on a summer’s day, the first fluttering of anxiousness gives way to full blown panic. Josh is greeted by an aged woman, Regina Oerlass, whom we soon discover has her own problems. 'Ah, the portal to Caveworld has opened up again, I see. Are you hungry, young Maji?’ Regina, a powerful Sorceress & Alchemist, had been held prisoner by Lord Grishound. Regina and Josh discuss his predicament and are almost surprised by three Sabrewolves. The Sentient Forrest Regina needs to confer with the Crystal Queen, and suspects Josh will also benefit from her counsel. But first they need to travel through a dense forest so thickly covered that no light will penetrate to the forest floor. Regina obliges by removing her cloak, which floats around them and illuminates their path. ‘Wow! Is that Magic?’ ‘MAGIC?!? My dear, Josh. Magic is the tricks and slight of hand you expect at a birthday or Crystaleve party. They are not long in the forest when Josh suggests that non-Maji folk could light fires to help them see their way. The utterance of the word fire causes an unseen commotion. Josh is surprised to learn that the trees don’t like to hear the word fire. Before their journey is over Josh blurts out the word fire once more… An Audience with the Crystal Queen Josh and Regina are told that Lord Grishound has damaged the balance between Man/Nature/Maji. To make matters worse and hastening the imbalance, Grishound has stolen the Trimajiion – Three Majikal treasures in the safe keeping of the Crystal Queen and her daughters. There loss will accelerate the end of all Maji in Regina’s world. The only way to Travel … The Baengore’s Cave They discover that Grishound has hired a rival Sorcerer to place a spell on the cave’s entrance, prohibiting any Maji to pass. ‘What’s so Majikal about your shoes?’ ‘You wont catch me having smelly feet, I can tell you!’ Unfortunately, as a Sorceress even my fingernails have maji in them.’ Josh enters alone… The Maji of Josh’s World … A Brief Journey Home … The Trimajiion is Complete They have to pass through the land of the fierce and insatiably hungry Gooners. ‘A Cookbook on dragons? That’s disgusting!’ ‘I find the twenty-three books they’ve written on how to cook humans to be far more disturbing. I believe they’ve dedicated one book entirely to the cooking of thirteen year old boys.’ Josh has to retrieve the two remaining Maji objects – but they need to get past the insatiable Gooners first and their unsavoury singing! 'Cut ‘em up. Slice ‘em up. Dip ‘em in sauce.' 'In a hurry eat ‘em raw or cook ‘em brown with curry' ' Raid the larder, find the sugar an’ have ‘em for dessert' Tea and biscuits have their place, but there’s nothing quite like heart' Grishound’s Triumph … Sacrifice … Beginning’s End … Three nights later - Christmas Eve - and Josh hears a knock at the door. … ‘You’ve to come quick, Josh. The Maji is flooding from our land at a frightening speed!’
