In my book of poems, I will share my experiences of love, heartbreak, survival, hope and inspiration, and of how God has brought me though. I hope that my book will speak for the unspoken and heal those who need healing.

My Less Than Secret Life is the companion volume to Jonathan Ames's first memoirish endeavor, "the mildly perverted and wildly amusing" (Vanity Fair) What's Not to Love? This collection of the cult author's fiction and essays includes Ames's public diary, the bi-weekly columns he penned for the New York Press. The entries of this diary are a record of his mad adventures: his ill-fated debut as an amateur boxer fighting as ‘The Herring Wonder', a faltering liaison with a Cuban prostitute, his public outing of George Plimpton as a Jew, his discussion with Eve Ensler about his dear friend The Mangina, a renegade mission as a Jew into the heart of Waspy Maine, and other such harrowing escapades. Whether trying to round up a partner for an orgy, politely assisting in an animal sacrifice, or scamming tickets to the WWF's Royal Rumble for his son, Jonathan Ames proves himself a ballsier Everyman whose transgressions and compassionate meditations will satisfy the voyeur and encourage the halfhearted. But be warned. As Jonathan says, "I don't like to be a bad influence. It's bad enough that I have influence over myself." "...Ames has always been one of my favorite contemporary writers ... for his ... fearless commitment to the most demanding psychosexual comedies."—Rick Moody

In this #1 international bestseller, an old man who is young at heart proves that life doesn't stop once you enter a nursing home, perfect for fans of A Man Called Ove. Technically speaking, Hendrik Groen is elderly. But at age 83 and one quarter, this feisty curmudgeon has no plans to go out quietly. Bored of weak tea and potted geraniums, exasperated by the indignities of aging, Hendrik has decided to rebel. He begins writing an exposé: secretly recording the antics of day-to-day life in his retirement home, where he refuses to take himself, or his fellow ""inmates,"" too seriously. With an eccentric group of friends, he founds the Old-But-Not-Dead Club, and he and his best friend, Evert, gleefully stir up trouble, enraging the home's humorless director and turning themselves into unlikely heroes. And when a sweet and sassy widow moves in next door, he is determined to savor every ounce of joy in the time he has left, with hilarious and tender consequences. The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen is an inspiring, charming, and laugh-out-loud delight for readers of any age.

My Diary Unlocked is a diary based self-help book for teen girls, their mothers and all women who carry unhealed wounds from their inner adolescent into adulthood. Through raw and real diary entries woven together with guidance and wisdom to emerge triumphant above the struggles, the book imparts the value and power of sharing your personal inner truth as it provides tools to raise self esteem and empower girls and women to live authentic lives. It presents a rarely seen, deeply intimate glimpse into the inner world of teenage girls, shedding light on concerns haunting parents and children alike. Unlike most books aimed at helping teens and women survive and ultimately thrive during this tumultuous time, My Diary Unlocked provides a direct window into the hearts and souls of teenage girls who never considered they would someday decide to share their privately written words. Their thoughts and feelings strike a chord in anyone searching for meaning and identity, for they resonate with an inner vibration of truth and send a message that you are not alone. This book brings to life the gut-wrenching, serious, funny, heartbreaking, heartwarming and liberating experiences typical during the adolescent years. This range of emotions is also felt by boys, and although they do not journal as much, they and their parents can learn, grow and reap the benefits of this book as well. Each chapter explores one of the many issues that have occupied the minds and hearts of teenage girls for decades, if not centuries: body image, eating disorders, family, relationships, romance, sexuality, pregnancy, self-esteem, bullying, addictions, coping with loss, change and even death. Then, in an effort to light a path through the struggles, diary entries are followed with insights, inspiration and practical action steps contributed by some of today's leading authorities on human potential, parenting and teen issues. Reflections shared by the diarists themselves reveal the resilience of the human spirit as they offer inspiration and encouragement to those walking a similar path. Action steps are shared to rekindle the feminine qualities of compassion, empathy and understand for all of humanity.
