  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Memories of a Nobody is ​an entertaining, candid memoir by Alan Hodgkiss, blending North of England humor, with personal tales from a humble beginning in wartime​ and postwar​ ​childhood ​in England. 
  T​his engaging memoir chronicles ​memorable ​back and forth travels ​and culturally different lifestyles ​i​n England and overseas. 
  Alan comically describes encounters with celebrities, and reflects on what truly matters in life. Its a tale of resilience​ and humor, and A​lan's down-to-earth storytelling mixes nostalgia and wit in his anecdotes and the challenges of starting over​ and over in the enduring search for happiness and belonging.​ 
  Here's what the editor had to say about Memories of a Nobody. 
  A true vagabond, Alan Hodgkiss has spent the past four decades seeking out opportunities on three continents with varying degrees of success but always infinite supplies of optimism. 
  Born into a working class Lancashire family during the early years of world war two, he joined the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers of the British Army and saw service in the Middle East and Africa in the early nineteen sixties. 
  By the end of the decade, the desire for more from life prompted Alan and his wife Rita to answer the siren's call of emigration to Canada.	This proved to be the first of countless moves across oceans and continents in pursuit of the perfect rainbow and business opportunities. Memories of a Nobody is lively and imbued with the author’s ever ready sense of humour, even in the most trying of circumstances. – Susan McDougall. 
  Alan adds to the editors comments, that he wrote Memories of a Nobody at the request of his many friends but went on to say that they only asked because they could close a book but were too polite to tell him to shut up. 
  Alans rather unique story is narrated by an artificial intelligent voice, that does not have a Lancashire accent.

  Memoirs of a Professional Cad

  What might we dare to expect from an actor's autobiography, even one from a star as personable as George Sanders? In the case of Memoirs of A Professional Cad, we possibly get more than we deserve. George Sanders undoubtedly led a colorful, glamorous, and even action-packed life, spanning the peak years of Hollywood's golden age. But the greatest joy of his memoirs is how funny they are, and how penetrating their author's wit. 
   
   
   
  George's early childhood was spent in Tsarist Russia, before he was obliged to flee with his family to England on the eve of the Russian Revolution. George was eventually asked to leave South America following a duel of honor, and was forced to take up acting for a living. 
   
   
   
  Memoirs of A Professional Cad has much to say about Hollywood and the stars George Sanders worked with and befriended, not to mention the irrepressible Tsa Tsa Gabor who became his wife. But at heart it is less a conventional autobiography, and more a Machiavellian guide to life, and the art of living, from a man who knew a thing or two on the subject. 
   
   
   
  Memoirs of A Professional Cad stands today as one of the classic Hollywood memoirs, from one of its most original, enduring, and inimitable stars.

  New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance's heartrending collection of poetry and essays recounts a dark chapter of her own life, her first marriage to an alcoholic—a powerful look at the emotional cost of addiction and an inspiring story of courage and triumph in the wake of crushing defeat 
  Before she found fame as a bestselling mystery author, Judith Jance wrestled with the anguish of being married to an alcoholic. For years she channeled her pain into words, composing the poems in this moving volume, first published in 1984, a year before her debut novel. 
  In searing and direct language, After the Fire chronicles the collapse of Jance's first marriage under the weight of her husband's addiction—and her own unwitting denial and codependence while she struggled to find herself. "I will not be the price of your redemption," she wrote then. "I will not pay my life to ransom yours." 
  An intimate, deeply personal look into a wrenching time in Jance's life, After the Fire is a portrait of addiction and its insidious effects on lives and love. It illuminates universal truths about unbearable loss and finding the courage to carry on, and offers inspiration and profound insight into the heart and work of a beloved bestselling author.
