Linda Manning speaks out about her past, growing up surrounded by predatory, abusive men and how she created a fantasy of perfect love in order to survive. She chronicles her journey from a rootless girl to a reckless woman on the hunt for perfect love with every sexy, dangerous man she meets. Why does it take decades for her to finally tell the truth about what happened? Empowering, darkly funny, and poignant, this is the story of the havoc that fantasy wreaks on her life as she struggles to let the past go and set herself free.

I WAS A HOT MONK is Brian Sheridan's journey into monasticism. Maybe there's a reason this actor suddenly finds himself with no career, no wife, no kids, no girlfriend, no friend-friends, no pets and no debts...because God wants him to become a monk! It's a trip to hell and back.

Abby’s birth is the result of her parents swinging through the 1960s with wild key parties, martinis, and Manhattans. Their frolics leave Abby with one burning question: Who is her biological father? Too many possibilities for Mom to be certain. Dad deflects the subject with biting humor. Can a DNA paternity test provide the answer?
