15 XXX Stories: Not Your Girlfriend’s Erotica $9.99 Leave this book on your coffee table and I guarantee your girlfriend will blush!Typically, erotica is aligned with the spirit of romance novels-dramatic and emotional with watered-down descriptions of sex. However, in the tradition of erotica written by men, such as the Marquis de Sade, this book contains more mechanical, visual descriptions of sex with less melodrama.Author Prendergast reveals erotic thoughts and dreams within the most random characters–a single mother, a priest, a French art historian, a goth teenager, an exotic voodoo-practicing duchess, an uptight English barrister, and a sassy black nurse. All of these combine to make for an enjoyable, genuine read with subtle humor and fun, sexy encounters.In the opening story, “Birth of a Slut,” Prendergast begins hard and bold with a group of basketball players pulling a double train on two hot, fit college girls. One is a sweet, loyal “good girl” whose man has recently cheated on her, while the other is an inimitable slut, the amazing, sexually-insatiable Katie who is both disarmingly charming and shamelessly promiscuous. Read only this first story, wanker, and you will be hooked. |

Excerpt: Face the Music Face the Music is a musical , the first collaboration between Moss Hart (book) and Irving Berlin (music and lyrics). Face the Music opened on Broadway in 1932, and has had several subsequent regional and New York stagings. The popular song “Let’s Have Another Cup of Coffee ” was introduced in the musical.History The musical was written as a political satire, specifically spoofing political and police corruption that the Seabury Commission was investigating. It also satirized show business, showing the far-fetched economies, such as seeing 4 films with a room and bath for 10¢. The musical did not ignore the Depression but rather found humor in it. There were many titles considered, among them Nickels and Dimes , but Berlin came up with the final title. Synopsis Producer Hal Reisman desperately seeks backers for his Broadway show. Because of the Great Depression , once-rich investors are “Lunching at the Automat”. Kit Baker, a former musical-comedy star and her boyfriend Pat Mason are now out of work and poor (“Let’s Have Another Cup of Coffee”). In his search, Reisman meets crooked policemen who need to get rid of their illegal money before they are found out. The corrupt police chief Martin van Buren Meshbesher and his eccentric wife Myrtle become investors in the show, expecting it to be a failure. In the show-within-the-show, Rodney St. Clair sings “My Beautiful Rhinestone Girl”. However, when risqué material is |

A Wayward Wizard’s Wistful Words $7.36 This compilation of quotes and quips encompasses just a few years, and was only considered when I looked in my folder one day and saw just how many I had written.Someone suggested to me that I try to get them published in this form, stressing that it might make a good Christmas stocking, birthday, coffee table sort of book-nothing more pretentious than that.I agreed with them, and so here it is.I hope you enjoy these quotes and quips and get a chuckle out of them.Some are more thought provoking than others, but none should result in countless hours of philosophical wrestling or endless questioning of the ethical content. They just represent those few short moments when I put pen to paper, and tried to express my ideas as expeditiously as possible, while attempting to configure them in a context that has that touch of humor in it.It’s something that a lot of us do, whether it be in written words, in art form, or just in casual speech at the dining room table.Life is life. People are people. And some of all of that is funny. In my case, I find a lot of it funny.I find it prudent to laugh at myself before anybody else does. Besides, that way, they can laugh with me, and not at me.So, please enjoy, and I do hope that some of these efforts give you a smile from time to time. |

A Widow’s Walk: A Memoir of 9/11 $0.99 On September 11, I dropped my son off at his second full day of kindergarten. The sky was so blue it looked as if it had been ironed. I crossed the street, ordered coffee, and sat to wait for my husband to meet me. It was our eighth wedding anniversary and Dave and I were about to begin a new chapter in our seventeen years together. Sipping coffee, I watched as a line of thick black smoke crept across the sky from Manhattan, oblivious to the fact that my life was about to change forever. On September 11, 2001, Marian Fontana lost her husband, Dave, a firefighter from the elite Squad 1 in Brooklyn, in the World Trade Center attack. A Widow’s Walk begins that fateful morning, when Marian, a playwright and comedienne, became a widow, a single mother, and an unlikely activist. Two weeks after 9/11, the city attempted to close Squad 1, which had suffered the loss of twelve men. Known for her feisty spirit and passionate loyalty, Marian, who was still reeling from her profound loss, began to mobilize the neighborhood to keep the firehouse open. From this unlikely platform the 9/11 Widows and Victims’ Families Association grew. Over the next twelve months, Marian struggled with the tragedy’s endless ripple effects, from the minute and deeply personal — she wonders who will play Star Wars with her son, Aidan, and carry him on his shoulders; to the collective: she works to get families and widows necessary information about the recovery effort and attends private meetings with Governor Pataki, Mayor Giuliani, Senator Clinton, and Mayor Bloomberg. Through it all, Marian’s irrepressible humor is her best armor, as well as evidence of her buoyant strength. Written with great heart and humanity, A Widow’s Walk is a timely opportunity for remembrance and a timeless testament to love’s loss and the resilience of the human spirit. |
