  A Cat’s Tail is a tender, joyful tale of a spirited feline whose playful mischief, boundless curiosity, and quiet wisdom filled her human family’s days with laughter and love. From daring acrobatics to gentle moments of comfort, Onkyo’s adventures capture the magic of the bond between cats and the people who cherish them. 
  Told in Onkyo’s own voice—with warmth, humor, and heart—these stories celebrate the everyday miracles that make a cat unforgettable and a family whole. For anyone who has loved and lost a feline companion, this book will bring both smiles and tears; while reminding you to treasure the immeasurable joy our cats give us. 
  There are moments when pet loss grief softens into something mysterious - not quite sorrow, not quite peace – a quiet shimmer between the two worlds. In the morning, as the sunlight slanted through the window Onkyo once claimed as her throne, I felt her near. Not in sight or sound, but in that deep place the heart knows. I pierced the veil – and understood that her love for me never ends; it merely changes form. She was gone, yet utterly here.

  Jenny Boyd's extraordinary life is the stuff of movies and novels, a story of incredible people and places experienced at a pivotal time in the 20th century. 
  As an up-and-coming young model, Jenny found herself at the heart of Carnaby Street in London, immersed in the fashion and pop culture of the Swinging 60s. With boyfriend Mick Fleetwood, sister Pattie, George Harrison and the rest of the Beatles, she lived the London scene. But as a natural Flower Child, Jenny soon became part of the counter-culture in San Francisco during the Flower Power era, witnessing the Summer of Love; she was the inspiration for Donovan's famous song, Jennifer Juniper, and her photograph was featured inside the box set of his eponymous album A Gift from a Flower to a Garden. 
  After working in The Beatles shop, Apple, the first of its kind, Jenny attended Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram in India to study meditation with her sister and the Beatles, witnessing their creativity and the genesis of songs that would later appear on the White Album. 
  Despite being attuned to the spiritual bloom and innocence of the 60s, Jenny also experienced first-hand the turmoil and decadence of the 70s and 80s. Her two marriages to Mick Fleetwood, founder member of Fleetwood Mac, brought her to the forefront of the world of rock and roll - and its fame, money, drugs and heartache. Struggling in the darkness to find and develop her own voice and identity, Jenny went to college, achieving a Masters in Counseling Psychology and a PhD in Humanities - her dissertation on musicians and creativity became the critically-acclaimed book Musicians in Tune. 
  Jenny has spent her life in the company of some of the greatest musical and cultural influencers of the last 50 years - and the journey she takes to finding her own sense of self and creative ability makes Jennifer Juniper a truly captivating and inspiring story.

  Dennis Murphy is without question the greatest professional sports promoter in U.S. history.  He single-handedly created the American Basketball Association, World Hockey Association, World Team Tennis, Roller Hockey International, and many other professional sports leagues.  Without him, there would be NO San Antonio Spurs winning 4 NBA championships, NO Indiana Pacers, NO Denver Nuggets, NO Brooklyn Nets, as well as NO Edmonton Oilers winning 5 NHL Stanley Cup championships, and NO New England Whalers, creating uncounted thousands of jobs.  The list goes on and on, with dozens of pro sports teams created by Dennis Murphy now worth several billions of dollars.  In fact, without his A.B.A. league showing the value of the 3-point shot, there would be NO 3-point shot in today’s N.B.A.  In addition, without his W.H.A. and R.H.I. leagues, there would be NO sudden-death overtime and 4-on-4 play in today’s N.H.L.  On top of all that, without him ‘making waves’, all pro sports players today might still be forced to stay with their initial draft team, forever.  It is now time to give this man his due credit in sports history.  This unique audiobook includes the actual interviews of Dennis Murphy as he talks about his creations in his own words...!!!  The introduction and epilogue are provided by the long-time LA Lakers announcer, John Ireland.
