Summary

From the author behind the pen names L.J. Diva and T.K. Wrathbone comes a not so sparkling tale.
 
One would think that if you grew up in a world of sparkle and creativity that the rest of your life would be the same. Right?
 
No so.
 
In this raw and reflective memoir by author and writer, Tiara King, she delves into experiences that have led her to the life she has now. One of toxicity, anger, sacrifice, envy, and pain amidst all of the creativities she’s delved into. The toxic nature of the people around her and the family she grew up in. The pain at not having the life she thought she was going to have, and of arguing with the Universe for giving her the life she got, dealing with the anger from that and the feelings of being sacrificed for another. The envy at not having the freedom to do what she wants when she wants and have the life she envisions in her mind, while dealing with the life she was dumped in by family and the Universe, using jewellery and writing as her escape.
 
These are stories about her school years, life, family, being a carer, the rise and fall of her jewellery business, her writing career, and how she came to write under three names and set up a publishing house for herself, and what her goals are for the future as she reflects on the last fifty years. Tiara’s also written poems for the book and placed one between each chapter just because she could.
 
This is a tale of life and creativity that’s striving for recognition in a world that doesn’t want to give it. A life of no love, no success, and no freedom to be who you truly want to be.
 
A life that’s not so sparkling.

    In this entertaining and eye-opening collection, writer, actor, and feminist Tracy Dawson showcases trailblazers throughout history who disguised themselves as men and continuously broke the rules to gain access and opportunities denied them because they were women. 
“This book will surprise, astonish, and hopefully anger you on the lengths women have had to go to pursue their dreams. Tracy has such a gift for storytelling and making history leap off the page. Her book has a wit that suggests it was written by a man since everyone knows women aren't this funny.”—Kay Cannon, writer, producer, director (the Pitch Perfect films, Cinderella) 
“A smart, funny journey through history that introduces us to the rule breakers who made history worth traveling through.”—Patton Oswalt, comedian, actor and author 
“I came up with Tracy as a fellow sketch comedian on the vomit-soaked stages of the Toronto comedy scene. And like the brilliant, resourceful, rule-breaking, damn-well-stubborn sisters in Let Me Be Frank, Tracy is someone who gets the job done, and gets it done well.”—Samantha Bee, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee  
Let Me Be Frank illuminates with a wry warmth the incredible stories of a diverse group of women from different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds who have defied the patriarchy, refusing to allow men or the status quo to define their lives or break their spirit. An often sardonic and thoroughly impassioned homage to female ingenuity and tenacity, the women profiled in this inspiring anthology broke the rules to reach their goals and refused to take “no” for an answer. These women took matters into their own hands, dressing—sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively—as men to do what they wanted to do. This includes competing in marathons, publishing books, escaping enslavement, practicing medicine, tunneling deep in the earth as miners, taking to the seas as pirates and serving on the frontlines in the military, among many other pursuits. Not only did these women persist, many unknowingly made history and ultimately inspired later generations in doing so. This compendium is an informative and enthralling celebration of these revolutionary badasses who have changed the world and our lives.

In this volume, we discover the actions of the Normans and King Richard, giving clear reasons why we history should hold them in nothing but contempt. It also covers the signing of the Magna Carta, the first bill of rights in England, which came about because a powerless king tried to go to war, realised that he had no-one behind him, and was bullied into signing in order to not simply be executed. 
Covers: 
William The Conqueror, and the thugs and mercenaries who bought titles and became England's gentry. 
William Rufus, and his utterly ridiculous death. 
Henry The First, Surnamed Beauclerc, his conquest of Normandy, and death from a finger wound. 
Stephen. 
Henry The Second, Surnamed Plantagenet, and his constant battles with both the church and his own family. 
Richard The First, Surnamed Cour De Lion, and how truly awful he was in every respect. 
John, Surnamed Sansterre, Or Lackland, and how tried to lead an army that deserted him and was forced into signing the Magna Carta.
