A dark tale of greed, selfishness and latent curses, laced with black humour, in a light-hearted way. Although there could be lessons learnt from Miriam's Hex, it is intended to be a simple, enjoyable tale of witchery and mischieve...or not. Miriam's Hex includes the story of how the book took 36 years to publish... a whole tale in itself.
Levi: Life as an NFL player has always been fast-paced, but nothing prepared me for becoming the guardian of my godson, Duncan. With his grandmother contesting custody, I need to prove that I'm a steadfast influence who's not going anywhere and there's one sure-fire way to show that: get engaged. With my not-so-secret crush Georgie on board to play the part, we tell ourselves it's a practical solution. But when I see her connection with Duncan, I see a different side of her that I didn't know existed and I only want more. Could this fake engagement be the real deal? Georgie: When my best friend needs a fake fiancé to prove he's a stable guardian for his godson, I jump at the chance. Does it help that I also have a huge crush on him? Probably . . . but now, as our fake relationship blurs the line between reality and what's pretend, I start wondering if this charade could lead to something more. Then the unthinkable happens. A huge misstep on my part, thanks to my big mouth, leads to a major slip-up and I manage to jeopardize everything––including his custody battle. Will this mistake cost me the chance at true love I've been waiting for?Mostra libro

Working in industry as a Chemical Engineer boring ... who says it is? Most people consider working in the Industrial world to be fairly mundane and boring. Well I am able to contradict that erroneous belief. My forty years in industry have been far from ordinary and unexciting. In fact those years have been so eventful and exhilarating, I felt compelled to put events, incidents and a plethora of eclectic, fascinating characters into print and write about my career as a Chemical Engineer from the late sixties to the beginning of the eighties. While I typed away, it occurred to me, these stories are so way out, fantastic and implausible, no-one will believe a word of it. Using that old cliché, fact is often stranger than fiction. Read more and make your own mind up, as it is indeed Life‛s Rich Mix.Mostra libro
After quitting her job with an awkward text to her boss, Lucie Frost planned to live out her early retirement fantasy. Except she was lost, an empty nester with no job, no structure, no identity, and no clear purpose. Everything changed after she binge-watched the television program 90 Day Fiancé one day, which led to a stream of answers to her question about midlife stagnation: What do we do with our lives when our jobs or children are no longer making those decisions for us? Her trivia-filled memoir, How the Hell Did I Not Know That?, follows the first year of Frost’s postretirement era, a year when curiosity pulled her off the couch and into a world where she discovered how to build a fulfilling life from the smallest of wonders—things like how to unboil an egg with urine (but why, oh why?), where the vice president of the United States lives (something we should know?), and why the sky is blue (wait, didn’t we learn that in third grade?). How the Hell Did I Not Know That? is a witty and honest companion, a girlfriend, if you will, for women in midlife who are struggling to find their place in the world, who are concerned about misogyny, climate change, and the industrial prison complex, just not while watching the latest episode of The Bachelor. Frost shows us that women “of a certain age” need to take themselves seriously while remembering to laugh at inappropriate things and that they can find meaning in life by relying on the power of curiosity.Mostra libro
