  'I haven't read a funnier book all year' The Wall Street Journal 
  The world’s hottest movie couple, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, are enduring a year-long film shoot with the world’s most pernickety film director, Stanley Kubrick. Unfortunately the super-secret film set of Eyes Wide Shut has been invaded by Kubrick’s worst nightmare: Kim the tabloid reporter, complete with his trusty spy-pen camera. 
  Based on a true story, Movie Rogue details how in 1996 a Sun reporter became an extra on one of the most searingly graphic scenes in movie history. Along the way – it’s said – he also befriended both Tom Cruise and Kubrick. But this reporter is so much more than a mere scum-sucking tabloid hack. He is also a matchmaker, and with a wave of Kim’s pixie dust, even the most far-fetched couples can fall in love.

  Dysfunctional Regulatory Bodies...

  BruceG is a Professional Grower in the Kingdom of Aspen trying to complete an environmental plan to protect the aquifer at Justin’s feedlot. But, he is continually thwarted by “systemic discrimination” being practiced by Professional Builders from a “dysfunctional” government regulatory body because they believe only builders can do feedlot plans. 
  A ‘turf war” pursues. 
  Queen Mara, a Political Appointee within the Ministry, takes up the builder’s cause and decrees only builders can do feedlot designs. She threatens closure of Justin’s Better Beef Haven. BruceG fights back and Queen Mara files a complaint against him for challenging her edict and offending her ego. 
  Now BruceG has to deal with a scarecrow, his own self-regulatory body, the League of Growers, who decides on complaints and can discipline its’ members. The ensuing investigation is fraught with biases contributing to procedural unfairness. 
  Saving Justin’s feedlot and protecting the aquifer hangs in the air. 
  The author, Doug Cameron, has worked close-up and “in the face of” various regulatory bodies for over 40 years. He is familiar with their legislated power and the harassment and abuse they can dish out when challenged—all hidden from the public. The lack of an overseer to rein-in scarecrows gone awry is a major issue. 
  This book uses satire to expose the inner workings, stupidity, biases and unnatural justice used by reg-bodies to protect their own self-interests and/or self-image rather than protect the interests and well-being of the public.

  We'll have a gay, old time ... 
  There's nothing worse than a long ride in the car with AB, or so Kallie thinks as they head off to the Fairview Mountain Rehab Center to pay a visit to Trevor Darlington. But once they arrive, she finds there are some things that are indeed worse than Abuela-Blanca's kami-nazi driving -- such as running into Azure, her fashion designer from Model Middle America. 
  Only he's not Azure -- or is he? 
  Maybe? 
  There's nothing "Azure" about the pasty-faced, non-makeup wearing man who shares Azure's face, any more than Kallie is truly "Arlanda." Kallie's more than certain it's a twin thing, even as he begs her to keep his truly devastating secret for fear of losing his job, his clout, and his reputation ... 
  But when he consumes a radioactive doughnut, Kallie has no room for hesitation, and she fears her promise suddenly just got a lot harder to keep ... 
  Azure Skies is episode 9 in C. S. Johnson's superhero satire serial, Fatgirl. You'll never look at doughnuts the same way after consuming this series!

  Congratulations! 🎉 You’re just like everyone else.

  🔥 "Job Interviews: The Olympic Sport of Pretending You’re Normal" (How to answer 'Tell me about yourself' without crying.)

  🔥 "Nobody Actually Knows What They’re Doing (And That’s Beautiful)" (How billionaires, CEOs, and your boss are all just making stuff up.) 
  If you’ve ever felt like an imposter, like a fraud, or like you are one “Let’s hop on a quick call” away from quitting life and living in the woods— this book is for you. 
  Because here’s the truth: 
  🚀 Nobody knows what they’re doing. They’re just pretending louder. 
  🔥 And now, so can you. 
  WARNING: This book will not help you grow as a person. It will, however, make you feel slightly better about the absolute trainwreck that is modern life.

  My Dad's Funnier Than Your Dad -...

  Comic and television star Tim Conway (The Carol Burnett Show, McHale's Navy, Dorf) enjoyed enormous popular appeal. In this humorous, loving, and surprising memoir, Tim's eldest of his six children, Kelly, reveals that the Conway home life was as riotous as some of her father's legendary comedy sketches. Kelly Conway allows listeners an intimate look at an American childhood set in 1970s and 1980s Los Angeles, from the studios of CBS to the racetrack of Santa Anita Park, where her father taught his kids the art of horse betting. Tim Conway took his hilarious creativity off the set to the family home, where he acted as the ringmaster to six unruly lion cubs—and often lit the fuse of their short-tempered mother, Mary Anne. Kelly takes the listener through the fascinating world of entertainment, from her dad's television stardom to her own career in costume design and wardrobe styling, using the lessons her father taught her about holding her own in the often cruel world of show business. But it's not until Kelly realizes that she must find the courage to fight for her dad when he faces a devastating life change that her steadfast commitment to him becomes clear—although it means losing lifelong relationships and at times facing harsh criticism. My Dad's Funnier Than Your Dad is Kelly's love letter to her father, an account of the warm, fun-filled world of her childhood.
