Shakey's Madness

Robert P Boog

Want to discover why William Shakespeare did NOT write the poems, plays and sonnets attributed to him? Using the internet during the COVID-19 pandemic to doublecheck what past experts have told us about William Shakespeare, author Robert Boog uses a fresh set of eyes to view the facts. Because of all the fainting found in the poems and plays, Mr. Boog believes that the "real" author of the works probably suffered from epilepsy at a young age. Boog counted nine instances of fainting, but a British physician in 2006 counted 18 episodes of fainting with another 13 instances of "near" fainting. Why so much fainting? Did fainting morph into bipolar disorder when he was older? Boog claims BD symptoms can be found in the works while the man from Stratford never did. For this reason, a person close to Queen Elizabeth who showed symptoms of bipolar disorder and was called "the best playwright for comedy in Queen Elizabeth's court" makes the best choice for author. Also, back in Elizabethan days, the Queen or King could behead anyone who "imagined the death of a ruler" so why would ANYONE in their right mind, write a play about the death of a ruler? Yet Hamlet, Anthony & Cleopatra and Richard II, all feature rulers who die. So writing under a pen name makes sense - esp in these days of fake Twitter handles and online cat-fishing.Mr. Boog suggests we approach the mystery of William Shakespeare's authorship like a modern-day "cold case" mystery. So, get ready to have fun listening and learning about a compelling case for the true authorship of the Shakespeare canon? A fun and informative audio book that includes humorous stories. It is read by the author from Los Angeles who has a wicked sense of humor."

Freddie Steinmark - Faith Family...

Bower Yousse, Thomas J. Ryan

Freddie Steinmark was starting safety for the undefeated University of Texas Longhorns in 1969. In the thrilling “Game of the Century,” a come-from-behind victory against Arkansas that ensured Texas the National Championship, Steinmark played with pain in his left leg. Two days later, X-rays revealed a cancerous bone tumor so large that it seemed a miracle Steinmark could walk, let alone play football. Within a week of the Arkansas game, his leg was amputated. 
A gritty, undersized player, Steinmark had quickly become a fan favorite at Texas. What he endured during the Longhorns’ memorable 1969 season, and what he encountered afterward, captivated not only Texans but the country at large. Americans watched closely as Steinmark confronted life’s ultimate challenge, and his openness during his battle against savage odds helped reframe the national conversation surrounding cancer, prompting President Nixon to sign the first National Cancer Act establishing the ongoing race for a cure. 
Written with unfettered access to the Steinmark family and archives, Freddie Steinmark: Faith, Family, Football is the exploration of a brief but full life, one that began humbly but ended on a grand stage. Narrated by the authors, with Steinmark’s younger brother, Sammy, voicing Freddie’s statements and thoughts, this audiobook includes many historical audio clips, dramatized clips from the major motion picture "My All American," and sound effects inserted into the narrative, bringing to life Freddie’s remarkable universal journey of hope and heart that transcends the game. An inspirational and timeless story of a legendary Longhorn whose photograph, emblazoned with the word “Heart,” flashes on the Freddie Steinmark Scoreboard’s Jumbotron prior to each home football game in UT’s Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium at Joe Jamail Field.

A Jazz Age Murder in Northwest...

Jane Simon Ammeson

Gold digging, adultery, and a slaying on Valentine's Day, 1923, in this "juicy . . . page-turner" of a true crime story (Chicago Tribune). 
 
 
  
It was a Roaring Twenties fatal attraction. Nettie Herskovitz was wealthy and widowed when she met Harry Diamond. The attentive, irresistibly sexy twenty-three-year-old suitor would become Nettie's fifth husband. He was also a bootlegger, pimp, and first-class hustler who thought he'd wed a goldmine. What Harry found instead was a fiercely independent older woman who was nobody's fool for long. 
 
 
  
Then, on February 14, 1923, Harry tried to secure his inheritance by shooting Nettie four times, once at point blank range to the head. He blamed the crime on their teenage African American chauffeur. Harry might have gotten away with it, if not for one little oversight. Nettie wasn't dead. 
 
 
  
With its combination of sin, sex, high-society scandal, and even the interference of the Ku Klux Klan, the case against the movie-star handsome Harry Diamond moved beyond tabloid fodder to become the most sensational trial of the era.

I Am Bunny - How a ""Talking""...

Alexis Devine

Social media stars of @WhatAboutBunny, Alexis Devine and Bunny the ""talking"" dog, deliver a memoir loaded with wit and passion for animals, as well as the vulnerability and authenticity of a woman who learned to take care of herself by learning to talk to her dog 
When Bunny, a fluffy, black-and-white sheepadoodle, was eight weeks old, her guardian Alexis presented her with an odd gift: a button programed to say “outside” when pressed. Within a few weeks, Bunny was using it all the time and Alexis, encouraged by Bunny’s progress, continued to introduce more buttons and more words . . . 
Three years later, Bunny can now communicate using over one hundred buttons, stringing together important, relatable, philosophical phrases such as “Love you Mom,” “Dad went poop,” and “Ugh why?” In I Am Bunny, a memoir in essays and beautiful, full-color photographs, Alexis chronicles not only how Bunny learned to “talk,” but also the profound impact their journey has had on her life. Caring for Bunny has revealed to Alexis a path to self-acceptance, if not complete self-love, and as their relationship developed and their ability to communicate deepened, Alexis was able to reflect on and reframe her past traumas in a newly vulnerable and healing way. Helping Bunny through her fear and reactivity allowed Alexis to examine these qualities in herself, and as she created a safe space for Bunny, she too found space for her own healing. 
Through charming anecdotes about day-to-day life with Bunny, explorations into prior animal language studies, and plenty of irreverent humor, daring, and heart, Alexis tells the story of how she and Bunny have become so inspiringly close, and explores the ancient and unique bond between dog and guardian that so many of us know leads to a deeper, more meaningful life.
