  The Woman Inside: From Outer Space to Inner Peace will take you on a journey of self-discovery. Throughout a 34-year career at NASA, launching rockets or leading teams, while literally traveling around the world, the book takes you on a journey of discovery and transformation. This is one woman’s experience of transitioning from presenting as male to presenting as female. You will join me as I overcome the societal expectations that are assigned at birth and learn to, understand the difference between sexual hardware and gender software. Finally, you will see how I discovered the ultimate truth -- that you are never too old to live life as your authentic self. If you are interested in NASA or exploring distant lands or how one makes the decision to transition, then this book is for you. This is my story and my life. By the end, you will know me almost as well as I know myself. I hope you enjoy it. Bobbi

  The Life of Karma - The dark...

  I had been alone before, surrounded by the abyss's darkness and demons' red eyes. The void had seemed endless, with no hope of escape or salvation from the horrors that awaited me. But now, I stood firm, determined never to let anyone conquer my mind again. The more they tried to put me down, the more I pushed back with all my strength, showing them who I was and what I could achieve. And I would succeed- oh yes, I would succeed- so they could never forget who I was and what I had accomplished. The sound of distant screams echoed in my ears as I raised my head high, ready to face whatever lay ahead. I was the magic they wanted, but because I didn't submit to their way of control, they started working against me. So I reached deep inside myself and found something I did not understand, a force-like power that made my fists clench involuntarily and turn away the glances of those who would get close to me. They had never seen anything like it in anyone else before. 
  Based on true events and compiled from the author's life, from the beginnings of teenage life through the struggles with drugs, relationships, and victories of adulthood to funny little snippets and some outrageous stories and encounters. He takes you through this journey from a young age, living in a small town in Denmark, being stuck with no way out, and to his start on a new chapter, moving to the UK with only the clothes on his back, making it through as a chef and gardener, meeting some incredible and many times unsavory characters on the way, turning his life around only to get kicked down again and again, fighting back. Until he met his wife-to-be, emigrated to Australia, and then the battles to come. Starting all over again, with no friends or family around, the darkest clouds, they are only coming closer to the real struggles they had just begun, alone in the land down under.

  The Chronicle – Book Three (July to September) 
    
  This is history... but not as you know it! At Waterloo, women are stripping the corpses of their valuable shoes and stockings yet the Highlanders are left in mass graves with their coarse tartan socks still on. Roy Strong attending a private dinner with the Prime Minister notes that Margaret Thatcher in floaty chiffon is "the apotheosis of the boss's wife, with the appeal of cosmeticised putty." Even at the  coronation of George IV, Queen Caroline, who is denied entry to the Abbey, is observed looking like "a blowsy landlady". As for the nude revue 'Oh Calcutta', it is noted that "there are some parts of the anatomy over whose movements the choreographer has no control”.  Join Fanny Kemble as she travels at break-neck speed aboard Stephenson's Rocket and Joyce Grenfell as she washes her tennis balls and bakes them in the oven while Lord Byron conducts a fiery seaside funeral of his close friend Shelley.

  While tying the bows on her wedding invitations, Kiersten's fiancé walked in and told her he didn't think he loved her, and maybe never had . . . Oh, and he'd cheated. At a place called The Magic Castle. But don't worry, because six months later, while Kiersten was struggling to pay rent, he won $100,000 on a reality show. Yes, you read that right . . . 
   
   
   
  A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. 
   
   
   
  Why is it that the minute you get your heart broken, whether by a boy or a dream, you look around to see everyone else is doing amazing! Because everyone else is stupid . . . 
   
   
   
  Oh, and why are they always telling you "everything happens for a reason"?! Leave me alone, Cheryl! 
   
   
   
  But also, don't. Because when you're alone, you're hit with the reality that you can't wake up from this bad dream. Why are you the only one heartbroken? The only one struggling? The only one . . . Crushed? But what if that's the stupid part? The lie that you are the only one. 
   
   
   
  In this nostalgic memoir equally cut with anguish and humor, Lyons invites listeners along on a lifetime of Crushed moments and the hope of being left in awe of the pivots she never wanted in the first place. 
   
   
   
  And what if realizing you aren't alone is the first step to one day knowing you'll be in awe too?
