American Star Mendoza is living in her dream location, Edinburgh, a
place she discovered in British novels while growing up. Employed
at a trendy city centre coffee shop, quirky, pink-haired Star
spends her days fantasising about a handsome businessman she serves
daily. He's totally out of her league but a girl can dream, right?
Fin Hunter is exhausted from striving for his father's elusive love
and approval, and of following a life path of his family's making.
When things go drastically wrong Fin decides it's time to stand on
his own two feet and follow his own dream. Star is bereft when her
handsome stranger stops coming to her coffee shop, but a chance
encounter in the most unlikely of places leaves her wondering if
her fantasy could now become a reality? Can opposites attract over
their love of a city and music or is their story simply doomed to
fail? Previously Published as 'Star Attraction' Praise for Lisa

Where the salty air mingles with the far-off laughter of women in
ball gowns, the houses of "Newport's Cliff Walk" preside in
grandeur over the crashing waves below. Walking along the gravel
trail, it s easy to imagine the faintest hint of a waltz coming
from the windows of Beechwood, or to envision the Duchess of
Windsor's carriage arriving for a visit at Fairholme. Ed Morris
takes you on a tour of twenty-four historic mansions and landmarks,
entertaining along the way with tales of splendor and style, social
maneuvering and matchmaking.

Twenty miles south of the Arizona-Mexico border, the rugged,
beautiful Sierra Madre mountains begin their dramatic ascent.
Almost 900 miles long, the range climbs to nearly 11,000 feet and
boasts several canyons deeper than the Grand Canyon. The rules of
law and society have never taken hold in the Sierra Madre, which is
home to bandits, drug smugglers, Mormons, cave-dwelling Tarahumara
Indians, opium farmers, cowboys, and other assorted outcasts.
Outsiders are not welcome; drugs are the primary source of income;
murder is all but a regional pastime. The Mexican army occasionally
goes in to burn marijuana and opium crops -- the modern treasure of
the Sierra Madre -- but otherwise the government stays away. In its
stead are the drug lords, who have made it one of the biggest
drug-producing areas in the world.
Fifteen years ago, journalist Richard Grant developed what he
calls "an unfortunate fascination" with this lawless place. Locals
warned that he would meet his death there, but he didn't believe
them -- until his last trip. During his travels Grant visited a
folk healer for his insomnia and was prescribed rattlesnake pills,
attended bizarre religious rituals, consorted with cocaine-snorting
policemen, taught English to Guarijio Indians, and dug for buried
treasure. On his last visit, his reckless adventure spiraled into
his own personal heart of darkness when cocaine-fueled Mexican
hillbillies hunted him through the woods all night, bent on killing
him for sport.
With gorgeous detail, fascinating insight, and an undercurrent of
dark humor, "God's Middle Finger" brings to vivid life a truly
unique and uncharted world.
