Book Description
The first Asian woman in hip-hop, Sophia Chang shares the inspiring story of her career in the music business, working with such acts as The Wu-Tang Clan and A Tribe Called Quest, her path to becoming an entrepreneur, and her candid accounts of marriage, motherhood, aging, desire, marginalization, and martial arts. Fearless and unpredictable, Sophia Chang prevailed in a male-dominated music industry to manage the biggest names in hip-hop and R&B. The daughter of Korean immigrants in predominantly white suburban Vancouver, Chang left for New York City, and soon became a powerful voice in music boardrooms at such record companies as Atlantic, Jive, and Universal Music Group. As an A&R rep, Chang met a Staten Island rapper named Prince Rakeem, now known as the RZA, founder of the Wu-Tang Clan, the most revered and influential rap group in hip-hop history. That union would send her on a transformational odyssey, leading her to a Shaolin monk who would become her partner, an enduring kung fu practice, two children, and a reckoning with what type woman she ultimately wanted to be. For decades, Chang helped remarkably talented men tell their stories. Now, with The Baddest Bitch In The Room, she is ready to tell her own story of marriage, motherhood, aging, desire, marginalization, and martial arts. This is an inspirational debut memoir by a woman of color who has had the audacity to be bold in the pursuit of her passions, despite what anyone—family, society, the dominant culture—have prescribed.

The Alas League
Author: Christian-Eric Falardeau
Publisher: Eric Falardeau
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
The Alas League is an entertaining humorous series made up of episodes ranging from 80 to 140 pages each. Brief “interlude” short stories are inserted between instalments, adding increasingly funny new angles to the new Worlds they live in. Episode 1: Purgatory In the small village of Verminus lives Mayor Monica Boisse, her son Peter, Father Ferdinand Paradise, the owner of the only bar Sylvia Thomac, the garbage man Mario Sax, the police officer Mable Hudgeon and the computer scientist Sophia Ware. With them are the rich Reginald Verrywiz, his secretary Alice, an old couple Alberic and Adelaide with their grand-daughter Julia and the trade unionist Andrew Bank. We must not forget Gerard Piston the civil engineer, and Vincent Lens the astronomer! And is Mimi van Dame truly a dressmaker or is she a retired world champion mud-wrestler? In fact, there are (or rather, were) many more inhabitants in the small village, but the coming of a great cataclysm drove them to take refuge on the mountain. Now, are those left behind going to be the first happy victims or are they condemned to survive? And in that last eventuality, will it be that terrible or is the movie “The Day After” exaggerating? And what about this mysterious and courteous “Alas League”? Episode 2: The Dragons of Verminus Our villagers, having barely begun to familiarize themselves with their new environment, meet with Sully Citor, a mediocre merchant with a certain flair for golden opportunities. Meanwhile, late-payment notices cross paths with subscription cancellation threats. Only one thing can explain the situation, but they don’t discover it until the end!

NEA - Dawn of an Era
Author: Georgio Konstandi
Publisher: Fast-Print Publishing
ISBN: 1784563706
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
Greece in the not so distant future: a nation locked in the aftermath of austerity and economic standstill, whose people live a terrifying existence plagued by narcotics, abuse and suicide. The Greeks are mute with fatigue. George Andreou, their incumbent prime minister, sits idly by. Meanwhile, something far more sinister than the world is ready to witness is stirring beneath the frail crock plates of Greek society as the brutally oppressed ashes of the past begin to ignite once more. In the form of NEA, a highly sophisticated military faction of a million Russian-trained aggrieved and mentally disturbed Greek men, the people of the Hellenic Republic are being given a one-shot opportunity to escape. But all is not what it seems. As the winter sun shines, it says nothing. As the flowers of the northern countryside wilt under winter’s wrath, Sophia Iliadi is blossoming into a stunning woman in her decrepit village of Assiros. The past decade's jarring events mean she now struggles to establish a meaningful relationship with her mentally scarred mother. But her life is spun into another dimension of chaos when NEA sweeps through the north, taking control of her village in a day’s work. Forced to flee from one makeshift home to the next, her unexpected romance with an audacious NEA soldier leaves her giddy and overwhelmed. But desire's footpath is never smooth - and she must soon decide when a love is worth fighting for. The Greeks are embarking on one final crusade that could end all wars - but who is God siding with?
