Tired of ordering in Thai food and watching a Netflix on Saturday
nights? Don't despair. Finding true love isn't impossible as long
as you view the entire world as one big singles bar. Walking your
dog, practicing yoga, riding mass transit, buying a book, even
visiting a friend in the hospital can lead to the woman of your
dreams. Critically-acclaimed novelist/playwright Gary Morgenstein
provides the romantic roadmap Using his own battle-scarred
experiences as a divorced man along with many years "spinning" as a
public relations specialist, Morgenstein takes men (and women eager
to go inside the mind of a guy) on a step-by-step comic and erotic
guide to love and sex. From making eye contact, dazzling opening
lines, online etiquette, younger and older women and how to conduct
yourself on a date to what goes into a successful relationship (in
and out of the bedroom), How to Find a Woman...Or Not is a riotous,
poignant and indispensable blueprint for passion and commitment
Baseball and bailouts, as American as apple pie. Weaving today's
economic malaise with the powerful magic of a Cinderella baseball
team, Take Me Out to the Ballgame is a political baseball novel for
our times. The Buffalo Matadors haven't won a world championship in
37 years, a dying franchise. Until flamboyant Harry Witowsky, a
21st Century George Steinbrenner, buys them, vowing to do whatever
is necessary to change the fortunes of the "Door Mats." Victories
and attendance climb as Witowsky creates an Us versus Them
mentality at the Stadium. The rally cry of "Where's My Bailout"
replaces "Let's Go Mats." Buffalo's surprising surge resonates with
a nation afraid of losing jobs and homes, shaken by terrorist
threats, frightened for the future. The Matadors become America's
Team.
What happens when a hopelessly romantic divorced man falls madly in
love with a beautiful woman rabbi -- but he's not yet over his
ex-wife? In other words, why are relationships always so difficult?
As this poignant love triangle opens, Joss Katz crashes a
bat-mitzvah and becomes smitten with the enigmatic Rabbi Thalia
Kleinman. Desperate to meet her, Joss contrives a wild excuse about
needing spiritual guidance and they begin a roller-coaster
relationship. But Kleinman has a past shadowed by terrorism. She
manipulates Joss into mentoring her younger brother Bobby.
Brilliant and troubled, Bobby is embroiled with Meir Schlom, who
has a dangerous scheme for confronting surging world-wide
anti-Semitism. Besides pursuing Thalia and his kooky former spouse
Ellen, Joss deals with his curmudgeonly roommate and best friend,
Mandelbaum. Embittered by his messy divorce, Mandy creates an
organization dedicated to a life free of entanglements with women
called Straight and Happy Without Them.
The story opens as a jarring phone wakes lifelong Brooklynite and
widowed father Teddy Mentor well after midnight. It's the Montana
wilderness program saying that his 16-year-old adopted son has run
away - and they haven't a clue where he's gone. Only two weeks ago,
Jesse had been taken to the program by escorts to deal with
substance abuse problems. Jeopardizing his flagging PR job in New
York, Mentor rushes across the country to find Jesse, who is off on
his own quest: to find Theresa, the sister he's never known. When
Teddy finally discovers Jesse at a bus stop in Illinois, he is torn
between sending him back or joining his son on a journey to find
this girl in Kentucky. But he decides to go and they become
embroiled in a grisly crime when Theresa's abusive husband Beau
attacks her - Jesse stabs the big beast of a man, leaving him for
dead.
