Crazy Town
Author: Robyn Doolittle
Publisher: Penguin Canada
ISBN: 0143191349
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
His drug and alcohol-fuelled antics made world headlines and engulfed a city in unprecedented controversy. Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s personal and political troubles have occupied centre stage in North America’s fourth largest city since news broke that men involved in the drug trade were selling a videotape of Ford appearing to smoke crack cocaine. Toronto Star reporter Robyn Doolittle was one of three journalists to view the video and report on its contents in May 2013. Her dogged pursuit of the story has uncovered disturbing details about the mayor’s past and embroiled the Toronto police, city councilors, and ordinary citizens in a raucous debate about the future of the city. Even before those explosive events, Ford was a divisive figure. A populist and successful city councillor, he was an underdog to become mayor in 2010. His politics and mercurial nature have split the amalgamated city in two. But there is far more to the story. The Fords have a long, unhappy history of substance abuse and criminal behavior. Despite their troubles, they are also one of the most ambitious families in Canada. Those close to the Fords say they often compare themselves to the Kennedys and believe they were born to lead. Regardless of whether the mayor survives the scandal, the Ford name is on the ballot in the mayoralty election of 2014. Fast-paced and insightful, Crazy Town is a page-turning portrait of a troubled man, a formidable family and a city caught in an jaw-dropping scandal.

Book Description
The HR chicks have many comical experiences working together. Well, we think so. She has seen it all and has had to deal with many unpleasant experiences. She had gotten to a point in her career where work was just a job. Insert me here. I had experience, but was not prepared for the environment I had walked in to. I was used to a more "normal" environment so to speak. But let's be honest, is normal really any fun anymore? Can you laugh at normal? Write a book about it? No. I had decided early on I wanted to be involved in HR or training of some sort. Why I will never know. Something about the field has always drawn me in. Intrigued me so to speak, but for this job, thank God I minored in Psychology. The HR chicks clicked immediately. A mentor relationship was formed and work became a playground that they both actually enjoyed going to. Well let me rephrase, it became tolerable. She gave me the knowledge and know-how to be successful, and I gave her a new perspective and my wacky view on things to make the environment more enjoyable. Our stories in this book are crazy, yes. Is it our perspective of the situation, yes, but remember we are professionals, because WE are the HR chicks.

Pages : 254
Book Description
Since aging out of the foster care system and becoming a nurse, all I dreamed of was marrying a nice doctor and moving to a yellow two-story house in the suburbs. So how did a dangerous biker gang criminal end up handcuffed to my bed? And why did I agree to let that animal teach me how to...ahem...do things. Wicked things. In the very same bed he’s been handcuffed to in order to keep me safe? Long story. And it didn’t end well. Now it’s time to marry my doctor fiancé and make all my former foster kid dreams come true. But who do I spot at the back of the church after I walk down the aisle to join with my perfect groom in marriage? That dangerous MC. His ice-cold eyes are blazing with rage. And this time he’s totally unchained. Gulp. It’s not such a nice day for a white wedding after all. I’m not even one-percent sure I’m going to get out of this one with my heart--or my soul--intact. Readers Note: The original WAYLON story has been split into a duet in order to whisper sync with the audiobook. Book 2 contains a Bonus Epilogue that was previously only available on Patreon. If you've already read the original story, you've read everything except for the Bonus Epilogue. Cheers!

Book Description
“An incredibly lively and intricately plotted mystery series full of clever banter and sparkly dialogue . . . a treat perfect for any time of the year.” —Kings River Life Magazine Includes Recipes! It’s beginning to look like a merry Christmas for Hayden Mundy Moore. On vacation from providing her sought-after expertise in all things chocolate, Hayden heads to snowy New England with her friend and financial advisor, Travis, for the opening of his pal’s highly-touted holiday musical. But when the show’s producer is murdered, Hayden trades sampling Chocolate Santas for finding the killer—especially since this time, Travis is the one asking for her help . . . Soon Hayden discovers there’s more to Travis’s chic hometown than mulled wine and cocoa cookies. But that’s just the beginning. Almost no one, including Travis, is quite what they seem. Did the show’s lead have more savage motives than stardom? Could the dead producer’s husband have felt a murderous envy for his successful wife? Getting behind the mistletoe and jingle bells will take all of Hayden’s savvy—along with some super caffeinated Peppermint Mochas—if she hopes to catch a killer with a heart more bitter than the darkest truffle . . . “Soon I was enthralled in the murder and suspect list . . . I know many of the cozy settings seem the same but this one was extra magical for the holiday season. So if you are looking for a read that has the perfect holiday setting here it is!” —Bibliophile.reviews “The murder itself is intriguing, and the suspects are credible . . . a fun read.” —The Cozy Review
