Book Description
Divas can get by in hard times and can establish and/or maintain a Diva lifestyle on a lower budget. Kathy O'Leary has written this book to provide useful information, offer suggestions and creative ideas, to reiterate common sense behaviours, and to give readers (Divas or not) a reason to smile and laugh. This book contains tips, ideas and experiences from Divas of all ages throughout the country and from all walks of life. The information in this book comes from real ladies who are experiencing the same economic troubles as you or I, living in rural or urban environments, cottages or even inner-city public housing. It doesn't matter where you live, but the mindset with which you live. Divas are everywhere!

Book Description
At the age of forty, Desa Rae Jenkins may be classified as over the hill, but with voluptuous curves in all the right places, she attracts Roc Dawson, one of the sexiest men alive, who happens to be almost half her age. He excites her like no other man has, but from Roc's playa-hating uncle Ronnie to the baby mama drama that comes to her doorstep, Desa Rae is forced to make a decision that could set her free from the man she's fallen in love with. The mere thought of Desa Rae ending their relationship sends Roc packing, and he must reevaluate what he has always known as the street life. If he wants to keep this bona fide diva on his team, he has to make his case for black love and leave the past behind. Then again, so does Desa Rae, especially when her ex-husband, Reggie, jumps back into the picture, causing more secret skeletons to be revealed.

Book Description
Fabulous yet fierce, imperious yet impetuous, boss yet bitchy—divas are figures of paradox. Their place in culture is equally contradictory, as they are simultaneously venerated and marginalized, hailed as timeless but then frequently forgotten or exhumed as cult icons by future generations. Focusing on four early twentieth-century divas—Aida Overton Walker, Loïe Fuller, Libby Holman, and Josephine Baker—who were icons in their own time, Moving Performances considers what their past and current reception reveals about changing ideas of race and gender. Jeanne Scheper examines how iconicity can actually work to the diva’s detriment, reducing her to a fetish object, a grotesque, or a figure of nostalgia. Yet she also locates more productive modes of reception that reach to revive the diva’s moving performances, imbuing her with an affective afterlife. As it offers innovative theorizations of performance, reception, and affect, Moving Performances also introduces readers to four remarkable women who worked as both cultural producers and critics, deftly subverting the tropes of exoticism, orientalism, and primitivism commonly used to dismiss women of color. Rejecting iconic depictions of these divas as frozen in a past moment, Scheper vividly demonstrates how their performances continue to inspire ongoing movements.

Book Description
MUSTAPHA'S BRIDE and MEDICINE SHOW may seem an unlikely pairing, but these short plays are companion pieces. One dark; one light; they explore what happens when you tumble down the rabbit hole, and find yourself in a world that's upside-down. The old rules don't apply, and your future may depend on how fast you learn the new ones. Each play has a theatre festival pedigree, and were signature pieces for Sokoloff's late performance group, the Aggravated Assault Ensemble.

He’s a bit of a local celebrity – a handsome stunt rider who does charity work in his spare time – and he seems to be going out of his way to look out for Flick. But is he just being friendly or does he see Flick as something more? Despite swearing off men, Flick can’t help wanting to find out . . .
