Book Description
In 2010 I became ill with Prostate cancer. Not a great year for me if I am honest but one that unlocked a, hitherto untapped passion for writing short stories. My wife, in a bid to relieve my boredom brought home an old laptop that just about had the ability to run a word processing program. I bashed away on it for hours and let my imagination run away with me with characters such as the nightmarish accuser that is Destiny Sails, to the seductive vengeance of the self appointed pseudo-deity, Alexis. One award, multiple publications and a podcast later I now find that I have amassed a small following of lovely fans from all over the world and an inability to stop looking for ways to incorporate my latent positive, and negative feelings into a story. These, however are my personal favourites, my babies and my therapy and ones that I hope you too will enjoy. There is a lot more of my work out there on the interweb, some of it in novella form and some of it under a different name, but all of them a jolly good read of I say so myself - Which I obviously do. I am free of cancer now, (Yea me) and now my life is built on the acceptance of difference, the inevitability of change and an alarming lack of cash. I do have a new laptop though, but where that came from is anyone's guess.

Book Description
IT WASN’T GERMAN ENGINEERING ONLY THAT MADE THE VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE AN ICON. IT WAS A MANHATTAN ADVERTISING AGENCY, TOO. Created in 1959 by Doyle Dane Bernbach and continued through the '60s and early '70s, the campaign for the Volkswagen Beetle is considered the best of all time. More than just promoting a car, it promoted a new kind of advertising: simple, charming, intelligent and, most of all, honest. In "Ugly Is Only Skin-Deep," Dominik Imseng retraces the creation of Doyle Dane Bernbach, sneered at by the big players on Madison Avenue because of the "ethnic" background of its founders and employees, who were mostly Jewish. Readers will then learn how the agency won the Volkswagen account and how an unlikely creative team set the tone for the most admired campaign in advertising history. Finally, the book examines the evolution of the Volkswagen campaign and how it managed to convince more and more Americans that smaller was better. In fact, the Volkswagen campaign didn't only fundamentally change the ethos of advertising, it also helped trigger the cultural revolution of the 1960s.

Book Description
Keller Scott wants to embrace his inner Buscemi and channel his Dafoe, but damn, if his looks don't keep getting in the way. He's dying to be taken seriously as an actor and land some legit roles that don't feature him shirtless, or worse. Lately, he's not even sure where Hollywood's version ends and the real Keller Scott begins. When Joey Mitchell shows up at his office, vying to be his next Personal Assistant, Keller has no doubt this Summa Cum Laude, USC grad is perfect for the role. She's hot, petite, and curvy in all the right places. A starry-eyed fan girl she's not. Joey packs a mean left hook, along with blistering hot pepper spray. On the outside, she's all business and confidence, but on the inside, she's broken and barely holding it together. Their lives collide when her best kept secret steals his heart. What begins as a PR goldmine becomes something else entirely. One amazing kid, with a spirit as big as the sky, has love enough to bring out the very best in Keller and help Joey heal.

Book Description
"Our intimate connection with the world, skin protects us while advertising our health, our identity, and our individuality. This synthetic overview, written with a poetic touch and taking many intriguing side excursions, is a guidebook to the pliable covering that makes us who we are. This book celebrates the evolution of three unique attributes of human skin: its naked sweatiness, its distinctive sepia rainbow of colors, and its remarkable range of decorations. Author Jablonski begins with a look at skin's structure and functions and then tours its three-hundred-million-year evolution, delving into such topics as the importance of touch and how the skin reflects and affects emotions. She examines the modern human obsession with age-related changes in skin, especially wrinkles, then turns to skin as a canvas for self-expression, exploring our use of cosmetics, body paint, tattooing, and scarification"--Publisher's description.

Book Description
Russian's political revolution of 1990 set off a cultural earthquake of unprecedented impact. But there were tremors four years before. The whole country saw the cracks starting to appear which eventually resulted in the overthrow of the old system, and the collapse of the confining roofs of direction and repression. This anthology shows how a new generation of Russian poets responded first to that evolving cultural shift and then to the difficult freedoms of a new era. No longer constrained by bureaucracy or ideology, these writers are producing a new literature of great energy and diversity. Working in styles ranging from traditional to avant-garde to postmodern, they depict the cascading changes in Russian life and culture - through the most intimate details of private lives to the larger images of a nation forging a new path for itself. Russian-English bilingual edition. The book includes work by over 30 poets, with facing English versions by some of the most distinguished translators from Britain and America. The poets include Gennady Aygi, Bella Akhmadulina, Mikhail Aizenberg, Tatiana Bek, Dimitry Bobyshev, Bella Dizhur, Arkadii Dragomoshenko, Sergey Gandlevsky, Elena Ignatova, Fazil Iskander, Nina Iskrenko, Bakhyt Kenjeev, Viktor Krivulin, Aleksandr Kushner, Yunna Morits, Vsevolod Nekrasov, Olesia Nikolaeva, Bulat Okudzhava, Olga Popova, Dmitry Aleksandrovich Prigov, Irina Ratushinskaya, Evgeny Rein, Genrikh Sapgir, Olga Sedakova, Tatiana Shcherbina, Elena Shvarts, Viktor Sosnora, Sergey Stratanovsky and Mikhail Yeryomin.
