Sell townhouse: check. Quit job: check. Find fifty men willing to go on a blind date: check. Take off on the adventure of a lifetime: check. How many times have you dreamed of running away from home? After years of imagining how freeing the open road would feel, Tiffany Malcom decided it was time to take off on the adventure she'd been longing for. With $5000 and a car named Cherry Cherry, she set off to see America . . . and go on a date in every state along the way. Ride shotgun as she meets doctors, mechanics, teachers, and men from every walk of life for fifty blind dates. Did she prefer skydiving with Mr. Vermont or kayaking around icebergs with Mr. Alaska? Dirt biking with Mr. Utah or riding roller coasters with Mr. Ohio? Of course, not every fish in the sea is a catch, but only one date smelled like lobster bait. With a healthy dose of humor and a knack for storytelling, Malcom brings us along for the ride as she dates, drives, camps, couch surfs, and is terrorized by wild animals (both real and imagined). Come along on the journey as she tries to answer the big question: are all the good ones really taken, or does she still have a chance at love?

What would your life be like if God lived next door? What would you talk about? What questions would you ask? In Funny Conversations with God, author Dunn Neugebauer shares his fictionalized discussions with God.

In a noncontroversial, casual, humorous style, Funny Conversations with God shares Neugebauer's feelings, philosophies, and life experiences as if he were talking directly to God. They discuss and analyze the key points in Neugebauer's life, such as his passing relationships with women, his failed marriage, his nonexistent church-going habits, and his job at the local high school against the backdrop of pop culture such as sports, authors, popular singers, and current events and important issues.

During their candid give-and-take, Neugebauer gains insights not only into the experiences of his past, but obtains a direction for his future. He also grasps a deeper understanding of the all-powerful God who loves us and wants to be with us.

WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? London, England. The year two-thousand and whatever. The far right political group the British National Front (BNF) are gaining massive popularity and are expected to make huge inroads into British mainstream in the next general election. A secret agency semi-attached to the government cannot allow this to happen. To have a right wing group anywhere near government would make Britain an international laughing stock and the British like being taken seriously. The agency gets to work. Their plan is to arrange to allow some of BNF's lowest and stupidest members to kill an innocent Black youth. It should be as bloody, violent but most importantly be as public as possible. It's not the kind of operation that they like to perform on British home soil but needs must' and all that. It shouldn't be too difficult and they don't anticipate any problems. They just need to choose a Black youth. Any youth will do. It's not personal, it's just politics. Kob Armah is the Black youth they mistakenly choose. This story is about him. Kob (for short or Benjamin Kobla Nii-Armah for long) doesn't care about British politics. He has enough Londoneze African problems of his own. He survives the attack in one piece. The same cannot be said about two of his attackers. Kob chooses to hide in Ghana to until things cool off...but that's where his enemies follow him. All of them. WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? It's the Crime Comedy story that capers from London to Accra then back to London. It's got a cool inner-city star, beautiful women, urban to tropical locations, regular bad-guys, secret bad-guys, races, car chases, white van chases, knives, guns... and Supermalt. What more could you ask for?

"Mildred's Book Store" sounded like a catchy name for my collection of book titles and authors. Mildred, to me, seemed like a good name for an entrepreneur of a small business like an independent bookstore. As in any such retail outlet, there are different categories of books to appeal to any reader. As I began organizing my collection, I was able to arrange them in eight general categories, including a catch-all "Potpourri" section. Since they are only titles and not whole books, I hope that the reader finds favorites in all eight sections. I also hope that this will spur an interest in some of these various fields that leads to purchases of books in those fields. If, by having my collection published, it both entertains and creates interest in new areas of life, I will be completely satisfied.

'Full of wit and warmth. A must read!' Sarah BennettSome days Bee feels invisible. Most days Bee does not feel as if she is 'living her best life'.Sure she has a loyal group of friends, a job she's good at, and a small London flat to call home, but a lot of the time, Bee feels as if no one actually 'sees' her. Her best friend, the unfeasibly handsome and successful Luca Donato does not have that problem. People are practically falling over themselves whenever they see Luca, but one thing the two friends do have in common, is they haven't yet found the 'One'. When their friend Tia challenges them to change all that through online dating, Luca and Bee set about the task with very different levels of enthusiasm. The saying goes that you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince, and it's not long before Bee is ready to admit defeat.

How times change Many will recall seeing the local "bobby" in his pointed helmet, smart tunic and polished duty boots patrolling the High Street and chatting to members of the public who generally respected their presence. They now go round in groups, wearing bright yellow jackets, anti-stab vests, flat hats and unpolished shoes. At the back of their minds, the constant worry that they will not reach the current month's target for arrests. Tony Kirkbank joined the Kent Police Force in 1962-a time when poor pay, poor housing and local under-manning combined to make problems for officers who carried out the many and varied tasks demanded of them. This is his account of the years between 1962 and 1977 covering training, walking the beat in Dartford, driving traffic cars and being a village "bobby" in an idyllic corner of Kent. In the days before occupational stress, Health & Safety rules, overarching administrative layers and target-driven goals, this book presents a picture of basic policing as experienced in those days with examples of amusing anecdotes and recollections that all helped the copper on the beat to see his shift through with satisfaction.

Louis, die Laeveld-leeu en die Skobbejakke is al ou geliefdes vir lesers van onder andere die Burger, Beeld, Landbouweekblad en Volksblad. Die geswore oujongkerel is die (soms onwillige) metgesel van Koos, ’n bobbejaan wat van rondle vir kwaadgeld al ’n kuns gemaak het en ook maar net so ’n verlangse verhouding met die waarheid het. Daar is dan ook ’n paar plaasbewoners wat ’n draai kom maak: Werfbobbejaan, wat sy lyf tans kundige van gemengde boerdery hou; en die Hoenderhaan, die enigste lid van die geselskap wat met so ’n ietsie tussen die ore geseen is.

Roger Dale Loring is a genuine baby boomer who finds his existence in the rapidly-changing world rather perplexing. In his latest book, he once again offers a collection of lighthearted essays about his dilemmas from the perspective of his current "if-they-don't-have-a-senior-discount, I'm-not-going-there" age. Realizing that the aging process evolved in a way that his adolescent mind never envisioned, Loring now finds that his views on life changes are disturbingly similar to the views of the old people of his youth, people he frequently characterized as old fogies. His essays highlight his humorous take on life that include opinions about issues such as cell phone upgrades; a man's attention span while operating a television remote; seasonal purse shopping; the differing conversation patterns of men and women; the three hardest part-time jobs in America; the crazy world of politics where preaching to the choir dominates all campaigns; and, of course, the trauma of buying toothpaste.
