  On the night he dies, August Sweeney is just pulling himself out of the weeds in the restaurant that was supposed to be his comeback. An immense man of immense appetites, August worked his way up from the bowels of a greasy spoon in Queens to international culinary stardom, and his fall, when it came, left a crater visible from space. When Dr. Maya Zhu, a guarded, intense autopsist, is summoned to investigate, she discovers she must operate under strict conditions Sweeney himself dictated before he died. Over the course of a single day, Zhu's fate becomes forever tied to Sweeney's, and her life, and his death, will change in ways she never imagined. For August Sweeney isn't about to let a little thing like death stop him from raising hell. 
   
   
   
  This is a novel of fame, food, and forensics: The Bear meets Bones. It's a book to make you hungry and ease your fear of death. Ashworth spent weeks working as a prep cook in a Michelin-starred restaurant in France, and learning to perform autopsies at a hospital in Pittsburgh. The result is an unprecedentedly accurate depiction of the restaurant industry, as well as a true New York novel, spanning fifty years of the city's turbulent growth. More than anything, it's a book about the body and its appetites, one that forces us to rethink what it means to live, and what it means to die.

  From the Back Cover 
  “I stuck a hair dryer on me bunion to stretch me skin out. Didn’t bloomin’ work.” 
  So begins Brad’s uproarious new life as an Essex native who’s yanked from living his pipe dream in the Spanish sunshine to the grey and wet northwest of England. 
  In this comedy memoir, Brad is catapulted to a strange land in his homeland where complete strangers tell him about their bunions and insist on showing him the holes “they burned” in the crotch of their swimming trunks. 
  It’s a land of confusion where everything he thought true comes into question: bread rolls are now called, “barms"; tea is something you eat not drink; almond milk is unheard of because, “yer don't get teats on an almond, stupid!” 
  It’s a land where Brad is so cold that he’s wearing more coats than a nightclub cloakroom can handle while the locals casually stroll around in their beachwear. 
  Will fish out of water Brad sink or swim as he adapts to the culture shock of being a soft southerner up north? 
  One thing’s for sure, you’re in for a pant-pissing, rollercoaster ride of mishaps, mayhem, and meat pies. 
  So strap on your incontinence pads then scroll up to buy now!

  Hailey’s Exploitation: A Cute...

  Hailey’s Exploitation: A Cute Freshman, Her Lecherous Tutor, and His Horny Son.  An ENF Story of Submission and Shame. Freshman Hailey O’Brien is one cute little honey—and Professor Alec Larsen can’t keep his dirty mind and hungry eyes off her. That’s why he’s been so willing to give her extra help for all these weeks—for which Hailey is very grateful. Sadly, professional protocol prohibits him from laying his equally hungry hands on her.
   
  But his son Oliver can.
   
  Poor Oliver. Alec’s freshman son doesn’t stand a chance with women—certainly not a beauty like Hailey. He’s awkward, gangly, and homely to a fault. There is absolutely no way this kid would ever be able to even be noticed by a girl like Hailey, let alone score with her.
   
  Well, this gives Professor Larsen an idea. A very dirty idea.
   
  Capitalizing on Hailey’s plan to become a social worker, he informs her that she could be of great “service” to this poor, awkward boy by letting him get in a little “practice” on her. Talking, kissing, that sort of thing.
   
  Well, even that is a bit much for Hailey to agree to—until her kindly professor reminds her that he has, after all, given her a whole lot of free help all semester. And one generous deed deserves another. Finally, she agrees.
   
  But that’s only because Hailey doesn’t realize that talking and kissing are just for starters.
   
  Professor Larsen is far too perverted—and Oliver is far too horny—to be satisfied with a bit of kissing. Much to this quivering young woman’s shock, she is about to offer Oliver a whole lot more than her sweet lips!
   
  Oliver is about to become very educated. And his dad is about to one heck of a good time himself! Especially after Hailey’s very tight jeans come off!
   
  Fans of ENF erotica featuring beautiful, young, submissive college chicks who find themselves in the most embarrassing, debasing, humiliating situations imaginable—this one is for you!
