Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-one-year-old Ava Sonders is independent and slightly cynical, and she has never been in love. She doesn't know if she believes in the concept of a soul mate, let alone the "until death do you part" stuff! But no one is more surprised than Ava when she becomes attracted to bad boy and struggling musician Braden O'Neil. After one romantic evening, Braden steals Ava's heart. Mortified when her behavior is reduced to that of a smitten sixteen-year-old girl, Ava is further distressed when she begins to fantasize about spending the rest of her life with him in the happily-ever-after sense. Unfortunately, Braden focuses on his career instead of his girlfriend, making music his mistress. The relationship gets out of control when Braden's band makes it to the big time, and Ava finds that their love life is splashed on the covers of all the tabloids. Now, Ava must figure out what she wants, leading her to discover that sometimes life has a different plan than what one expects

Download or read book Blood Sweat and My Rock n Roll Years written by Steve Katz and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On paper Steve Katz’s career rivals anyone’s except the 1960s’ and ’70’s biggest stars: the Monterey Pop Festival with the legendary Blues Project, Woodstock with Blood, Sweat & Tears, and even producing rock’s most celebrated speed addict, Lou Reed. There were world tours, and his résumé screams “Hall of Fame” — it won’t be long before BS&T are on that ballot. He has three Grammies (ten nominations), three Downbeat Reader’s Poll Awards, three gold records, one platinum record, and one quadruple platinum platter (the second Blood, Sweat & Tears album), not to mention three gold singles with BS&T. All together, he’s sold close to 29 million records. He had affairs with famous female folk singers, made love to Jim Morrison’s girlfriend Pam when Jim was drunk and abusive, partied with Elizabeth Taylor and Groucho Marx, dined with Rudolf Nureyev, conversed with Martin Luther King, Jr. and Tennessee Williams, hung out with Andy Warhol, jammed with everyone from Mose Allison to Jimi Hendrix, and was told to get a haircut by both Mickey Spillane and Danny Thomas. But his memoir is more Portnoy’s Complaint than the lurid party-with-your-pants-down memoir that has become the norm for rock ’n’ roll books. It’s an honest and personal account of a life at the edge of the spotlight—a privileged vantage point that earned him a bit more objectivity and earnest outrage than a lot of his colleagues, who were too far into the scene to lay any honest witness to it. Set during the Greenwich Village folk/rock scene, the Sixties’ most celebrated venues and concerts, and behind closed doors on international tours and grueling studio sessions, this is the unlikely story of a rock star as nerd, nerd as rock star, a nice Jewish boy who got to sit at the cool kid’s table and score the hot chicks.

Download or read book Girl Gangs Biker Boys and Real Cool Cats written by Iain McIntyre and published by PM Press. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Girl Gangs, Biker Boys, and Real Cool Cats is the first comprehensive account of how the rise of postwar youth culture was depicted in mass-market pulp fiction. As the young created new styles in music, fashion, and culture, pulp fiction shadowed their every move, hyping and exploiting their behaviour, dress, and language for mass consumption and cheap thrills. From the juvenile delinquent gangs of the early 1950s through the beats and hippies, on to bikers, skinheads, and punks, pulp fiction left no trend untouched. With their lurid covers and wild, action-packed plots, these books reveal as much about society’s deepest desires and fears as they do about the subcultures themselves. Girl Gangs features approximately 400 full-color covers, many of them never reprinted before. With 70 in-depth author interviews, illustrated biographies, and previously unpublished articles from more than 20 popular culture critics and scholars from the US, UK, and Australia, the book goes behind the scenes to look at the authors and publishers, how they worked, where they drew their inspiration and—often overlooked—the actual words they wrote. Books by well-known authors such as Harlan Ellison and Lawrence Block are discussed alongside neglected obscurities and former bestsellers ripe for rediscovery. It is a must read for anyone interested in pulp fiction, lost literary history, retro and subcultural style, and the history of postwar youth culture. Contributors include Nicolas Tredell, Alwyn W. Turner, Mike Stax, Clinton Walker, Bill Osgerby, David Rife, J.F. Norris, Stewart Home, James Cockington, Joe Blevins, Brian Coffey, James Doig, David James Foster, Matthew Asprey Gear, Molly Grattan, Brian Greene, John Harrison, David Kiersh, Austin Matthews, and Robert Baker.

Book excerpt: As first lady of Kingdom Citizens Christian Center, Vivian Montgomery has it all: a beautiful home, lovely children, and a pastor husband who makes her shout hallelujah--and not just in church. There's no doubt Pastor Montgomery has a healthy appreciation for the Lord and for the pleasures of the flesh, namely his wife's flesh. If only Vivian's best friend, Tai, was so blessed. . . A first lady herself, Tai's husband, King, is pastor of Mount Zion Progressive Baptist Church. But with two affairs under his belt, Tai wonders just what "progressive" means. In fact, she strongly suspects her husband is at it again. Now, she can follow her mother-in-law's example and threaten to shoot any would-be-husband-stealing floozies, or she can take Vivian's advice and listen for God's instruction. But Tai's husband isn't the only one fighting temptation. . . "A spell-binding tale with some hilarious and righteous characters. Sex in the Sanctuary is a story about the power of forgiveness, how to forgive and the reason why we should forgive." -- The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers

Books included: Stuck With My Rockstar Boss: There was one rule and a million reasons not to break it. But one thing was worth risking it all…him. I am having my dream job. And my family needs me to keep this job or they’ll end up on the streets. Except there is one massive problem. I’ve fallen head over heels for my Rockstar boss. He’s a rock n roll heartthrob and I’m a nobody who’s nearly homeless. Hitting on the bandmates is forbidden and results in immediate termination. So I tried to avoid him as much as possible. But when he offers me a secret job that requires me to be with him almost 24/7, I can’t say no. When we finally kiss I’m left craving an encore. If anyone found out what we’ve been doing on the side, both our lives will be ruined forever… Unexpected Baby For My Brother's Best Friend: I broke the bro code and took my best friend’s sister’s V card. Now there’s hell to pay. Rock-n-roll and relationships don’t mix, at least not for me. I knew my best friend’s sister was trouble, but I wanted a taste anyway. I shouldn’t be thinking about how her minidress would look crumpled on the floor. Or how good she’d look on my bed. Or the feeling of her thighs resting on my shoulders. But it’s all I can think about. She’s all I can think about. One night of bliss may cost me everything. My best friend, my career, and my carefree future. But when she tells me I’m going to be her baby’s daddy… Accidental Fake Fiancé He left me with more than one memorable night. Now a surprise is on the way. One reckless night is all it took to leave me craving his arms and carrying his baby. Too bad he disappeared, and I have no way to find him. Oh, it gets worse. My brother’s wedding is coming up, and I am dateless. If I show up alone, my cheating ex will be all over me. When fate throws my one night of fun back together, I swoon over his tatted body and navy-blue eyes. After a few white lies, I have myself a rockstar fake fiancé. He broke my heart once, and I knew better than to fall for him again. But it may be the hormones talking, my heart wants to make him mine. And I realize I need to tell this rockstar the truth about the baby...before it's too late. Claimed By My Best Friend's Brother: Taking my sister’s best friend’s V card wasn’t part of my plan. An accident almost cost me my life, and I was stuck at my parent’s house to recover. I miss the lights, the stage, and my Rock n Roll lifestyle. But being stuck at home has its perks. Like the girl next door. Her curvy figure, dark hair, and witty banter drive me wild. She is all I can think about while I lay cooped up at home. Fourteen years younger, and my sister's best friend. Beyond off-limits, but that only makes me want her more. Okay, the situation isn’t ideal. But she’s everything I never knew I needed. I’ll do anything to win her heart. But that might tear our families apart…

Book excerpt: Illustrated by in-depth empirical research from Kenya - one of the most popular country destinations in Africa for sex tourism - this book gathers much-needed statistics and data, and then critically examines the features of tourism and the sex trade, contextualizing this in relation to tourism development. It addresses the conditions which generate this 'social problem' and, while not taking a potentially problematic moralistic stance it questions whether this trade is exploitative in nature, particularly in cases of child sex tourism.

Melinda Ferguson follows the powerful drug memoir Smacked with this brutally honest account of her post-addiction addictions - from self-help fads, to Oprah, to 12 step meetings, to men, to Facebook. How does an addict deal with a world in which instant gratification has become the norm? How does an addict break the cycle of use and abuse that has been their life for so many years? How does an addict balance kids, a career and a relationship while fighting to stay clean? How does an addict fill the hole in the soul? In this no-holds-barred account of her life after drugs, Melinda Ferguson reveals just how easy it is for recovering addicts to slip back into the patterns of behaviour that led them to use in the first place. Provocative and often darkly humorous, she takes us to those 'dangerous' places that all addicts battle to avoid and shows us just what it takes to come back from the brink.
