  “I Didn’t Ask For Your Life Story” - Well, Here It Is Anyway. 
  ‘You can’t rip velcro quietly' is a compendium of “Sam Stories”, following my adventures from ages 18-30. These were the formative adult years where I began to forge my own path. I’d experienced great triumphs, success and no shortage of laughter, mostly at my expense - however I was becoming increasingly anxious, indecisive and lost. I needed to find out why.  
  As an aspiring writer and filmmaker, I thought perhaps if I could attempt to shape my character arc thus far, I'd see how I became who I am, and harness lessons of the past to guide my future. I had to explore my own ‘Heroes Journey’ to work out how to write the next chapters in my life. I found not only myself in this process, but a broader message and theme, perhaps applicable to all. Therefore, I decided to release this to the world.

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  And You May Find Yourself -...

  Gen-X author and Oldster Magazine/Memoir Land editor Sari Botton reads her celebrated memoir, "And You May Find Yourself...", about finding yourself later in life—after first getting lost in all the wrong places. As Botton discovers, the wrong places famously include her own self-suppression and misguided efforts to please others (mostly men). In a series of candid, reflective, sometimes humorous essays, Botton describes coming to feminism and self-actualization as an older person; second (and third and fourth) chances; and how maybe it's never too late to find your way...assuming you're lucky enough to live long.  
  "In her edgy, tender, witty way, Sari Botton has written a book for any woman who ever contorted herself to fit culturally imposed ideals, in other words, all of us. In witnessing the ways Sari has fought and failed and flourished, in the poignancy and laughter, there is deep wisdom and an abundance of spirit." 
  —Beverly Donofrio, author of "Riding in Cars with Boys" 
  "A fresh and humorous meditation on the trials and tribulations of a smart Gen-X young woman who tries to extricate herself from a straitlaced suburban upbringing to become a cool, East Village girl, only to keep falling for the wrong man, the wrong therapist, and the wrong job... until she doesn't. Botton's hilarious and self-aware pages on dating all the wrong men recall some of Candace Bushnell's original Sex and the City essays and Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones' Diary."  
  —Catherine Texier, author of "Breakup" 
  "A humanizing, humble, and hard look at a life. Investigative journalism of the soul. Sari Botton's And You May Find Yourself is like the older sister of My Misspent Youth by Meghan Daum. You will absolutely find yourself in this intelligent, clever, and clear-hearted book." 
  —Chloe Caldwell, author of "The Red Zone: A Love Story"

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  “The Comanche Perspective” illuminates one of the most infamous events in early Texas history—the Council House Fight. Traditionally portrayed through a narrow, one-sided lens, this book challenges the conventional narrative by exploring the complex web of cultural misunderstandings and mounting tensions between the Penateka Comanche and the Texians. Drawing on diverse perspectives and in-depth research, it reveals how mutual distrust and hostility led to the tragic clash on March 19, 1840. By shedding light on the shared responsibilities and deep-seated grievances that fueled this violent encounter, “The Comanche Perspective” provides a fresh and balanced understanding of a crucial moment in the history of the American frontier.
