Working Stiff - The Misadventures of an Accidental Sexpert

Grant Stoddard

Summary

A twenty-two-year-old perennial virgin, Englishman Grant Stoddard didn't know what to do with his life in America—until he won an X-rated online contest, the prize being intercourse with an infamous married sex columnist. He consequently wound up delivering mail at Nerve.com but accidentally found his calling as a gonzo sex reporter who would try any and every lurid activity his crafty coworkers devised—from offering himself up as man-bait at a hard-core gay bar to attending an elite orgy, to being a hapless participant in a sexual home invasion—all the while wishing he could be safely tucked in bed.Working Stiff is the humble, hilarious, and delightfully salacious fish-into-water story of a young man who followed his heart—and other organs—into places where few would dare to venture.

Where Was God When I Needed Him...

David R. Clark

This book illustrates the powerful effect David Clark´s mother, Jan Clark, had on her son. Her influence began even before David was born. Jan’s pregnancy with David was terrifyingly difficult. Her doctor, due to his grave concerns for Jan’s life, felt compelled to do everything he could to terminate the pregnancy. Amidst these extreme circumstances, Jan made a promise to her unborn child that changed everything!
Follow David Clark as he recounts experiences in which his mother kept this promise and led him to Christ. Notwithstanding that foundation in Christ, however, David years later, found himself feeling isolated and abandoned by God when he became 100% disabled and bedridden due to his military service in Iraq. He went from being an award-winning lawyer, a decorated military officer, and an Elder in his church to becoming completely dependent on others. It was only when David began remembering what his mother taught him about Jesus Christ years earlier that he finally found the peace and rest that comes solely through the Lord.

Fulfilling Dreams Lesson's...

Patty Mae Gray

I chose to write this book after moving from Washington to Port Protection, Alaska to start a full-service fishing lodge. I had been asked several times by lodge guests, “What made you sell everything and move to Port Protection, Alaska to start a fishing lodge?” The other question asked most often was about our recipes. This made me feel so proud. I had thought we would be able to hire a cook but realized we couldn’t afford it at the time. I had to do the cooking. I lost sleep. I had to work so hard to find the easiest and best recipes and put a meal plan together, including lunches for our guests to eat on the boats. I kept a journal that I am now sharing. 
Patty Mae Gray was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. She grew up fishing, gardening, and investing in real estate. 
In 1994, when Patty and her husband were moving to Port Protection, Alaska, she started her first journal. She is currently transforming her journals into novels. 
She lives in Arizona with her dog, Lucy and parrot, Mattie. 
Her goal is for her readers to enjoy and learn from each of her experiences through her stories. 
This is narrated for the author.

Maggie Alphonsi: Winning the...

Maggie Alphonsi, Gavin Mairs

Shortlisted for the Sports Book Awards Autobiography of the Year
Maggie Alphonsi is not only a national sporting icon, the face of international women's rugby and star player of the England side that won the World Cup in 2014. She is also an inspirational and totemic figure who transcends sport. 
The compelling story of her life makes her achievements even more extraordinary. Hers is an against-all-the-odds tale, becoming the best player in the world despite having to battle against racism, sexism, and prejudice.
It is a book forged from the raw emotion, passion, and testimony of an iconic player, who rose to the elite of world sport when the world was seemingly stacked against her. It is a moving and revealing story of a woman who was not prepared to be defined by anyone but herself and gives the reader a unique insight into how she met her goals.

And a Dog Called Fig - Solitude...

Helen Humphreys

An artist's solitude is a sacred space, one to be guarded from the chaos of the world, where the sparks of inspiration can be kindled into fires of creation. But within this quiet also lie loneliness, self-doubt, the danger of collapsing too far inward. An artist needs a familiar, a companion with emotional intelligence, innate curiosity, an enthusiasm for the world beyond, but also the capacity to rest contentedly for many hours. What an artist needs, Helen Humphreys would say, is a dog. 
 
 
 
And a Dog Called Fig is a memoir of the writing life told through the dogs Humphreys has lived with and loved over a lifetime, including Fig, her new Vizsla puppy. Interspersed are stories of other writers and their own irreplaceable companions: Virginia Woolf and Grizzle, Gertrude Stein and Basket, Thomas Hardy and Wessex—who walked the dining table at dinner parties, taking whatever he liked—and many more. 
 
 
 
A love song to the dogs who come into our lives and all that they bring—sorrow, mayhem, reflection, joy—this is a book about steadfast friendship and loss, creativity and craft, and the restorative powers of nature. Every work of art is different; so too is every dog, with distinctive needs and lessons. And if we let them guide us, they will show us many worlds we would otherwise miss.

Know We Are Here - Voices of...

Terria Smith

Collecting over twenty-five essays written by more than twenty California Indian authors, Know We Are Here surveys many of the ways California's Indigenous communities are resisting the legacies of genocide. Focusing on the particular histories, challenges, and dynamics of life in Native California—which are often very different from elsewhere in the United States—the book collects essays from writers across the state. It encompasses the perspectives of both elders and the rising generation, and the contributors include activists, academics, students, memoirists, and tribal leaders. The collection examines histories of resistance to colonialism in California, the reclaiming of cultures and languages, the connection of place and nature to wellness in tribal communities, efforts to overhaul the racist presentation of California Indians in classrooms and popular culture, and the meanings of solidarity in Native California. Unifying the book is an introduction by Terria Smith (Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians), editor of the renowned and long-running magazine News from Native California. This book is an indispensable resource for California Indian listeners, educators of all levels in California, and students in Native studies courses nationally.
