Book excerpt: A single father. A young teacher. A straight up romance. George Smith just wants his simple life to go back to being simple. After narrowly saving his family’s dive bar in tiny Beauclaire, North Carolina from demise, things are finally starting to simmer down—until his troubled son comes to live with him. Clay Johnson, Beauclaire High School’s new music teacher, can’t wait to educate young minds. But when he meets George during a parent-teacher conference, he realizes just how far he’s willing to go to make parents happy. It isn’t bad enough that George has been forced into the role of father when he least expected it. Things between he and Clay heat up quickly while they spend extracurricular time together—and George can’t help wondering if Clay sees him as a different type of daddy. Though Clay can’t deny his connection with George, he also can’t ignore the fact that George is a student’s parent—and as straight as the one road leading out of Beauclaire. Still, the more time George spends with Clay, and the steamier things get between them, he can’t shake the feeling that his life isn’t nearly as simple—nor as straight—as he once thought. Can they resist their desires, or will a relationship lead them to straight up trouble? Straight Up Trouble is third in the Southern Comforts series of small town, southern romances. Though each can be read and enjoyed alone, they fit together like bacon and eggs when read as part of the series. If you like your romances with healthy sides of schmoop sweeter than syrup, pairings queerer than a two-dollar bill, and daddy issues so dirty you’ll need to be baptized after reading them, you’ll love this latest book from Garett Groves!

Book excerpt: Between Television, Movies, Books, Newspapers, the Internet and even the person next door... today's moral values have been compromised to the extent that, for most people, they no longer agree with God's values and God's Laws. You have people today who are so concerned with being "politically correct" and "not offending anyone" that they see SIN all around them and say or do nothing. So others come to believe that the SIN is "acceptable," even "normal" behavior. This book will attempt to show the average Christian what God really expects... and what he really rejects, when dealing with many of today's most confusing questions. Each question will be covered in one chapter, so the answers will be quick and easy to find, allowing Bible scriptures to guide the reader to their answers.
Download or read book Straight Up written by Catriona McCloud and published by Orion. This book was released on 2008-09-18 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Verity Drummond is a florist by trade and a fantasist by nature. When her husband, Kim, leaves her, she deals with the pain by writing Straight Up, a novel in which a man on a mountaineering expedition (bearing a striking resemblance to her former husband) dies all alone in a hole in the ice, starving, wretched and with his broken bones poking through his skin. Verity goes to LA to meet Jasmine and Patrice who want to adapt Straight Up for the screen and somehow, between the dead man up the mountain and Verity's inability to admit that she's just another divorcee like the rest of California, she becomes The Widow and the buzz around the script, now based on a true story (natch), begins to grow. Enter Phil, an old friend of Kim's, who Verity meets by chance in California. Phil inadvertently sets off the biggest rolling snowball of lies in Verity's life. It starts ordinarily enough: Verity must stop Phil from letting slip that her dearly departed husband is very much alive and kicking. She tells Phil not to mention Kim because the others are reeling from their divorces. And she tells the others not to mention Kim to Phil because Phil was supposedly with Kim when he died. So far, so harmless, but soon Phil, Patrice and Jasmine are bound together in an ever-tighter tangle, with Verity holding on for dear life to the ends of all the threads. STRAIGHT UP is a book about honesty and all the other options: stories, spin, delusions, blinkers, evasions and lies. It's a hilarious, fast-paced and brilliantly executed comedy that moves from LA to NYC to Bodmin - and while the voice is as sharp as it is dark, there's a top-note of poignancy - and a hundred laughs along the way.

From the pen of a man who lived the life and loved and respected carnival folk, Step Right Up! will take the reader on a comprehensive and highly entertaining excursion into the vanishing world of sideshow performers.

Download or read book Piri Straight Up written by Heather Kidd and published by Hodder Moa. This book was released on 2012-08-14 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piri Weepu?s story is one of the most fascinating New Zealand rugby stories ever told. Born into a strong rugby league family ? Piri?s brother Billy actually played for the Kiwis ? Piri has risen to the very pinnacle of rugby union, while at the same time never losing his great love of the 13-man code. At 28, and in the year of the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, Weepu was finally given his opportunity . . . . and didn?t he take it well. For years he had been in the shadows of Jimmy Cowan (not to mention a number of other first-choicers) but on the world stage, Piri stepped up to the mark and won the hearts of a nation. He kicked the goals for the All Blacks, he kicked for position and, in the absence of the incomparable Dan Carter, he ran the backline. His man of the match performance for the All Blacks in the quarter-final against Argentina and then another superb display against arch-rivals Australia in the semi-final cemented his place in New Zealand rugby folklore. This is more than a rugby story, though. This is a story of a little battler who has struggled with serious injury and fitness for a number of years, who has struggled to express himself because of an innate shyness, but who finally won over a nation on the greatest sporting stage.

He landed role after role, working with big stars, making a name for himself. And then came Human Traffic, and his career went into overdrive. Fame opened doors into the best clubs, the best booze and even better drugs. But with the highs came the lows, and as the drinks flowed, the work dried up.

This is the real story - straight up. Funny, honest, full of swagger, and jammed full of antics and anecdotes, this memoir tears it up proper and delivers on every page.

Book excerpt: We know what some of you might be thinking: Who are YOU that God would give YOU revelations? To that, we simply respond, Daughters of the King. We have learned that having conversations and encounters with God are normal parts of a Christian lifestyle. They are small parts of the abundant life we should be living as promised in Scripture. So, with that said, lets be clear. We didnt make this stuff uphonest! Were just not that creative. Plus, some of this? Its going to put us in the hot seat for sure! But guess what? God wants His church back. Sadly, religion has crippled us to the point where we, as Christians, have become inept, ineffective, and misinformed. Gods heartbeat is to restore the body of Christ to its full potential. So, come on in, sit down, and lets have a chat! God really wants you to get this!
