It took me 50 years to achieve my original dream.and not without some bumps along the road. I believed, as did many others, that I could have been a very successful entertainer. A visit with Vic Damone convinced me that I would have to give up a normal family life to achieve that success. So, I built a series of businesses and threw myself into philanthropy, while limiting my performing to friends and family. And then the opportunity finally presented itself and there was no stopping me. Without an agent, I promoted myself to some of the leading entertainment venues in the country, developed a following and am now living my dream. The one constant, throughout, has been my dedication to my family and the difference that, I hope, I have made in their lives. But what a trip....producing Sammy Cahn on Broadway, headlining at Lincoln Center and Michael Feinstein’s Club, friendships with Cary Grant, the families of George Gershwin, , Oscar Hammerstein ,Marvin Hamlisch, Leonard Bernstein, and a host of show business greats. And, I can’t forget what happened with Madoff and Harvey Weinstein. So, come along for the ride while I tell my story.

One of New Zealand’s best known social historians, Tony is the author of many published books, including the award-winning Sugarbag Years. But through his working life he has also been a witness to and participant in major events shaping current New Zealand society: irritating Muldoon, watching Thatcher’s rise during his OE, seeing off the Lange government and its Rogernomics, and ultimately serving as senior advisor to Alliance and Progressive Party leader and Deputy Prime Minister Jim Anderton. With dollops of wry wit, Along for the Ride offers us a politically committed kiwi insider’s probing insights into some of recent history’s most momentous changes, traversing employment in public broadcasting and customs, public service union work, and his life as a writer, an international foodie, and a gay man.
This road to love may have a few speed bumps. Former hot mess Jolene Baxter is committed to doing better. It’s why she offered to help her sister and brother-in-law move across the country. However, her goodwill is tested when last-minute changes—mainly her father ditching her for an all-expenses-paid vacation—forces her to make the journey with a man who is the human version of a pebble in her shoe. Jason Akana operates on lists and bitter coffee, but none of those things will help him on a sixteen-hour trip with the most infuriating woman. Maybe they can get along and forget their heated confrontation five years ago at his best friend’s wedding…when pigs fly. But the addition of vehicle problems, an unplanned pit stop in a small town, and chemistry that inconveniently tags along shifts their perspectives. And once the dust settles after their trip, a tentative friendship emerges. Will these two stubborn people successfully navigate the unexpected feelings that follow close behind? Or will they hit a roadblock before reaching happily ever after?

Along for the Ride (The Rosewoods Rock Star Series, #1) by Katrina Abbott Pdf
This book is FREE for download. Vanessa Capri hates musicians. She has good reasons to, just not ones she’s willing to talk about, even with her best friend, Sandy Thibeault. Vanessa has a long history with rock stars; as the daughter of a famous music producer, she’s spent her life around them and knows about the seedy underbelly of the music business. She knows firsthand how the industry ruins lives and families, and she’ll do anything in her power to stay away. Until the talent show at The Rosewood Academy for Academic Excellence—her boarding school for the rich and famous—where she sees Willmont Davidson perform. She recognizes his rare talent and knows he needs to audition for her father’s new boy band. Except Willmont isn’t buying what she’s selling and seems to be immune to the lure of the music business. Vanessa is determined to get him on board, though she’s also committed to maintaining her distance from the band. Especially when one of the members turns out to be someone from Vanessa’s past—someone she’s been trying for months to get over. But then her summer plans—relaxing at her house in the Hamptons with Sandy—are threatened when her best friend decides she wants to follow the band on tour. It’s a dream come true for her to be the band’s exclusive teen vlogger and Vanessa’s dad loves the idea to help build buzz, so who is Vanessa to stop her? Sandy wants her to come along, but while Vanessa’s not going to stop her friend, there’s no way she’s going on tour. Despite her efforts to stay away, Vanessa gets caught up in the tour preparations and starts not hating it (or the guys) as much as she would have expected. And then, when things start to go wrong, they don’t just want her on tour, they need her. Will Vanessa rise to the challenge? And if she does will she be able to protect her heart from these boys who were built to be heartthrobs?

Along for the Ride is an anthology gleaned over the years from a collection of assorted kinfolk, friends and critters. Part One of the book features Bipeds I Have Known and Loved, most of whom are part of the collection of Siblings, Cousins, Moms and Grandmas, Aunts, (thats not Ants, its Aunts), Uncles and their significant (or perhaps not so significant ) others that comprise our talented, happily zany Family. It is drawn from the lore surrounding kith and kin that persists and is sometimes even (gasp) embroidered upon especially when cousins are gathered in the family circle, tellin tales and swappin lies, well-lubricated by Sister Skits mint julep recipe. Part the Second has to do with my years as young Wife and Mom, and my very rocky evolution into Housewife. Sprinkled through Parts One and Two are an assortment of Friends and Neighbors, some fascinating of themselves, some having a couple of endearingly loose screws that make them fine grist for this mill. Part the Third is about Quadrupeds I Have Known and Loved, with an occasional nod to the Avian Set and even to a No-Ped I have become attached to, aka Big Jim, the Esther Williams of the herpetological set. Hope youll join me and come Along for the Ride.

A USAF navigator’s candid, sharp-witted memoir of his Vietnam tours and his wide-ranging career: “A first rate read.” —Nick Brokhausen, author of We Few During Hank Zeybel’s first tour in Vietnam, he flew 772 C130 sorties as a navigator. He volunteered for a second tour, requesting assignment to B26s so he could “shoot back.” When B26s were removed from the inventory, he accepted a Spectre gunship crew slot, flying truck-busting missions over the Ho Chi Minh Trail. In this book he describes the terror of flying through heavy AA fire over the trail, and the heroics of the pilots in bringing their crews through. Away from the war, he recalls leave back in the US, where his elderly father was bewildered by his war-hardened attitude and black sense of humor. Contextualizing his time with Spectre gunships, he compares his experiences with those of other airmen, like Phil Combies and Robin Olds, and his broader Air Force career—he joined upon graduating college in 1955 and his first operational assignment was as a B47 Stratojet navigator-bomber at Strategic Air Command—trained to drop thermonuclear bombs with precision. From 1957 to 1963, he logged over two thousand hours as a radar-bombardier in B47 Stratojets and B52 C-models. In this memoir of Vietnam, his Air Force career, and his second career as a journalist and writer, Zeybel’s admiration of the skill and bravery of pilots—many of whom who he depended on for his very survival—shines through his descriptions of combat missions and being “along for the ride.” “Simply riveting, impressively informative, and exceptionally well written.” —Midwest Book Review
