An uncensored Hollywood tell-all filled with explicit tales of
love, sex, and revenge from the video vixen made famous by
Warrant's rock anthem "Cherry Pie."
Who could forget the sexy "Cherry Pie" girl from hair metal band
Warrant's infamous music video? Bobbie Brown became a bona fide
vixen for her playful role as the object of lead singer Jani Lane's
desires. But the wide-eyed Louisiana beauty queen's own dreams of
making it big in Los Angeles were about to be derailed by her
rock-and-roll lifestyle. After her tumultuous marriage to Jani
imploded, and her engagement to fast-living Motley Crue drummer
Tommy Lee ended in a drug haze--followed by his marriage later to
Pamela Anderson--Bobbie decided it was time Hollywood's hottest
bachelors got a taste of their own medicine. Step one: get high.
Step two: get even.
In a captivating, completely uncensored confessional, Bobbie
explicitly recounts a life among some of the most famous men in
Hollywood: Leonardo DiCaprio, Kevin Costner, Mark McGrath, Dave
Navarro, Sebastian Bach, Ashley Hamilton, Rob Pilatus of Milli
Vanilli, Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, Orgy's Jay Gordon, and many
more. No man was off limits as the fun-loving bombshell spiraled
into excess, anger, and addiction.
Bobbie survived the party--barely--and her riveting, cautionary
comeback tale is filled with the wildest stories of sex, drugs, and
rock and roll ever told.

"My inner history-loving teenage geek clapped her hands in ecstasy
at the thought of a historical novel penned by Enola Holmes, and
she wasn't disappointed!"--Kate Quinn Millie Bobby Brown's Nineteen
Steps is a moving tale of love, longing, and loss, inspired by the
true events of her family's experience during World War II. Love
blooms in the darkest days... It's 1942, and London remains under
constant threat of enemy attack as the second world war rages on.
In the Bethnal Green neighborhood, Nellie Morris counts every day
lucky that she emerges from the underground shelters unharmed, her
loving family still surrounding her. Three years into the war,
she's grateful to hold onto remnants of normalcy--her job as
assisting the mayor and nights spent at the local pub with her best
friend. But after a chance encounter with Ray, an American airman
stationed nearby, Nellie becomes enchanted with the idea of a
broader world. Just when Nellie begins to embrace an exciting new
life with Ray, a terrible incident occurs during an air raid one
evening, and the consequences are catastrophic. As the truth about
that night is revealed, Nellie's world is torn apart. When it seems
all hope is lost, Nellie finds that, against all odds, love and
happiness can triumph. Nineteen Steps is a deeply affecting,
mesmerizing page-turner inspired by the author's family history. An
epic story of longing, loss, and secrets, Millie Bobby Brown's
propulsive debut introduces an unforgettable, brave young woman and
boldly portrays the strength in the power of love. "Inspired by my
Nanny Ruth, this book is very personal and close to my heart. I
grew up listening to stories about her time living through the war.
I'm honored to keep her story alive."--Millie Bobby Brown

Life isn't easy when you're single, pushing fifty, and still
haunted by the ghosts of your rock 'n' roll past-but if anyone can
find the funny in it, Bobbie can. The second book by Sunset Strip
video vixen Bobbie Brown, Cherry On Top documents Brown's
transformation from 1990's sex symbol to comedy queen, revealing
the dramatic ups and downs of her biggest reinvention yet. Once the
hottest girl on the Sunset Strip, the blonde beauty in the video to
Warrant's 1990s hit, "Cherry Pie" is now in her late forties, and
she's letting her mouth run wild as a headliner on the comedy stage
just a few doors down from the rock clubs she once frequented.

balls isn't helping her find The One... Hilarious, sweet, and
bitingly honest, Cherry On Top reveals how one gorgeous,
potty-mouthed blonde took back Hollywood in middle age, and
embarked on a fresh search for love-one fart joke at a time.

from regional Councils of Government and survey responses from
chiefs of police across the state, Ms. Brown examines what
environmental, agency, and individual characteristics are
associated with effective working relationships between regional
and local jurisdictions. Implementation of homeland security
policies require effective intergovernmental working relationships.
Texas Homeland Security highlights the importance of this and
provides insight into the nature and context of these
relationships.
