Book Description
(Amadeus). Richard Wagner: The Lighter Side appeals to classical music and opera enthusiasts in general, but particularly the many thousands of members of the 135 Wagner Societies around the world. There are many books about every aspect of Wagner's life and works, but none has focused on the trivia, the interesting facts, anecdotes, and quotations about the man and his operas. For more than twenty years, Terry Quinn has collected information on each of Wagner's 13 completed operas and the difficulties encountered in staging them; famous Wagnerian directors, conductors, and singers; key persons in the composer's life, especially the women, not to mention the dysfunctional Wagner family; Wagner's visits to London; the festival and theater he created in Bavaria; and a great deal more. Also included are interviews with current Wagnerian scholars. Richard Wagner: The Lighter Side contains more than 300 tidbits and features, ranging from a few paragraphs to several pages. The light side of the book is immediately apparent via its lively headings, as well as its fascinating tales of the fanatical enthusiasts who travel the world to see Wagner's operas performed. Illustrations include photographs, dozens of contemporary caricatures, beautiful postage stamps on Wagnerian subjects, and other reproductions of ephemera.

Book Description
WHEN A HOT NAVY SEAL… Lt. Zachary Floyd is so pretty he’s been dubbed “Pretty Boy,” but when it comes to fighting skills, Zach is the man you want at your six. Zach can have any woman he wants, but his romantic crosshairs are focused on the one he “left behind.” Way behind! All Zach wants is a little love from the woman he’s obsessed with, and maybe someone to help him care for Samir Abdul Hassim Floyd, the five-year-old son he never knew he had, appropriately nicknamed Sammy the Snot. MEETS A RELUCTANT VIKING WARRIOR-ESS… Britta Asadottir is so big she’s been dubbed Britta the Big, so it makes sense that she would hone her ancient broadsword skills. Never mind that she’s beautiful...well, beautiful to that annoying lackwit, Zack-hairy Floyd. Holy Thor! How dare the man wish-pray here to his land! All Britta wants is to join WEALS, a female version of Navy SEALs, and perhaps experience a couple of those so-called orgy-as-hims. SPARKS FLY! You’ll laugh out loud as Pretty Boy gets his comeuppance and wish you had a Navy SEAL of your own. Sizzle and humor create the perfect erotic fire when past meets future with a little Dennis the Menace thrown in. Down and dirty, for sure!
