  Navigating motherhood from the age of 18, Kim Stephens shelved her inner journo and embraced a life of media sales and sports marketing, working with some of the biggest sports brands globally, and locally, whilst pursuing her own ultra-running ambitions.
  Arguing vehemently against the possibility that she was running from her own truth, Covid-19 wiped out Kim's possibilities for continued escape.
  After three children, two divorces and a gradual sexual awakening, Kim found herself at 40-something virtually unemployed, with all the time in the world to write, sip gin and study a general response to one of the world's most draconian lockdowns.
  Her humorous observations of middle-class South African behaviour through the various levels of lockdown earned her a certain notoriety and a degree of viral success, and with that the courage to put it all into a book.
  Hold the Line tells the story of teenage pregnancy, the situational blindness of white South Africa, the disappointment of divorce and the deep joy found through true awakening.
  Stitched together with the lockdown writing that Kim penned for a growing base of followers, she shares a more in-depth life story with her usual candid self-deprecation.
  Written to rattle a few truths from within its readers, Hold the Line ends ironically as the world begins to follow a potential third World War via TikTok.

  When life gives you lemons, run them over with your dirt bike! 
  After taking the year off to save up money and establish a more portable career, Tiffani Burkett was finally ready to get back on the road and finish her "Round The World" ride that she had started on her 2015 Yamaha FZ-07. Little did she know that getting rid of everything in January of 2020 would be one of the biggest mistakes of her life. Or perhaps one of the biggest opportunities. 
  With her plane grounded, international borders closed, and no home to quarantine in, Tiffani and her travel partner, Hollywood, turned their focus toward the American wilderness, rife with trails and challenges that would entertain even the most advanced dirt bike rider. But, there was just one issue: Despite over a decade of riding on roads and race tracks, Tiffani didn't know the first thing about riding off-road, and learning to ride dirt as an adult presents its own set of mental and physical challenges. But, if she wanted to ride across Siberia one day, it was about time to face her fear, anxiety, and self-doubts that had held her back for all these years by turning the summer into a dirt-bike boot camp. 
  With their old Chevy pickup, a Kawasaki KLX125, a Kawasaki KLX250, and a lot of hope, they set off to the Rocky Mountains to ride some of the greatest trails the USA has to offer, finding dinosaur bones, old mines, beautiful backdrops, and a whole lot of single track and stream crossings along the way. 
  Chronicles of a Motorcycle Gypsy: Dirt Bikes and Dinosaur Bones also includes a full gear list and bike builds for the aspiring dirt bike rider, with lots of pictures for every chapter!

  Exploring Pittsburgh's Ups and Downs 
   
  In Pittsburgh, the elevation varies wildly, fluctuating 660 feet from highest to lowest points throughout the area and making it one of the hilliest cities in the United States. Throughout this unruly and physically challenging landscape, the city's first mass transportation system was built—a steadily expanding network of public stairways, locally referred to as city steps, these flights of stairs are a throwback to a very different time in history and a very different Pittsburgh. Authors Laura Zurowski, Charles Succop, and Matthew Jacob present the history of the Steel City steps and a walking guide to their scenic locations today.
