Patricia's candid, in-depth view of her time before and after becoming the world's foremost tanning celebrity will give readers her perspective as she unveils who Tan Mom really is beneath all that bronzer.

She's more than just a Wack Packer. She's more than just the embodiment of the color burnt umber. She's more than just a chart-topping musical phenom. She's more than just a reality TV star who is always at odds with porn stars. She's Tan Mom, and she's here to set the record straight, like only Tan Mom can.

Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow

Jerome K.

'Life is a thing to be lived, not spent; to be faced, not ordered. Life is not a game of chess, the victory to the most knowing; it is a game of cards, one's hand by skill to be made the best of.'

The follow up to the popular Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow, Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow is another hilarious compendium of whimsical essays from the iconic humourist Jerome K. Jerome.

Published in 1898, Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow features twelve comedic essays that effortlessly blend humour with philosophical enquiry. Vibrant and lively, Jerome's writing offers amusing meditations on some of life's most trivial endeavours. Spanning everything from indecisiveness and keeping up appearances, to avoiding unsolicited advice and romance, these witty musings gently poke fun at the pressures of societal expectation with profound insight. The result is a timeless and endlessly relatable collection that feels just as relevant now as it did over one hundred years ago.
Jerome K. Jerome (1859 – 1927) was an English author and actor. Renowned for his comic works, he is best known for the hilarious travelogue, Three Men in a Boat. A prolific writer and admirer of the theatre, he penned several novels, essays and plays throughout his life.

Riches to rags. ... Controlling to chaos. ... But murder ... not this time! 
 
One night 10 years ago, 8-year-old Crystal, vanished from her bed in her parents’ house, the only clue a footprint in the flowerbed below the girl’s window.  
 
Now that footprint’s reappeared, this time at the scene of another crime, and Doreen is under strict orders not to stick her nose into Corporal Mack Moreau’s new investigation. 
 
But while Mack is busy with the new case, Doreen figures it can’t hurt if she just takes a quick look at the old one. Her house is empty, her antiques removed, and she has time on her hands. She’s finished working on Penny’s garden and needs a new project to keep her busy – and allow her to avoid the heavy work waiting in her own garden. And with the help of her assistants, Thaddeus the parrot, Goliath the Maine Coon, and Mugs the Basset, soon Doreen is busy navigating the world of pawn shops and blackmail as she looks for clues as to what happened to the girl stolen from her bedroom so many years ago.
