Marina's friends have questioned the empty whipped-cream vodka bottles and the new tattoo, but she thinks they're overreacting. Her love life is perking up, but it's not clear how long her new guy will wait on the sidelines while she buries herself in work.Marina can't pack her bags fast enough when a blast from the past offers her the opportunity to work with Russia's richest woman. In Moscow, Marina's at first thrilled to find herself taken for a glamorous Moscow pop singer, who could be her twin . But she soon finds there's more to being a celebrity than designer clothes and red carpet events. What follows is a return to the dark world of human trafficking, this time peering into the Red Market, where the human body is currency in ways she never imagined possible. Determined to take these criminal syndicates down with the help of some old and new friends, Marina must learn what it takes to survive - physically, mentally, emotionally, and culturally - thousands of miles from home.

God Knows Your Name
Author: Catherine Campbell
Publisher: Monarch Books
ISBN: 0857211900
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
The idea that God is interested in us as individuals is an unfamiliar concept to many, while rejection has become a fact of life. This book encourages the reader to embrace the truth of a personal God; one with whom we do not need to struggle to gain recognition, who intervenes and acts on our behalf. A God who knows our name! Each of the six chapters contains two sections, dealing with situations of rejection. Each tells the story of an individual from the Bible narrative, explaining how God stepped in to change their situation, thus revealing how important they were to Him. The second, connecting story, tells of a present day individual in similar circumstances and how God also positively intervened in their lives. These are true stories, using carefully researched material for authenticity and accuracy. The stories are told with remarkable power and conviction.

Shame, shame we know your name Do we own it? Being a woman that is. Do we fuck! We live in fear of how we look, what we eat, how we age and what we do. Wow, it's 2022 and we're still churning out that same old shit. I've been told as you get older you care less. Fucking great. I can't wait to be menopausal with skunk-like grey track lines in my hair, saggier tits, and miserable as shit. I don't know about you, but I'd quite like to have that experience - the no-fucks-experience that is - now, before that all happens. To have the confidence to believe in who I am. It's a push we all have to make - whether it be in our confidence over our bodies, who we are as people, or what goes on inside our mind - and we all have to work at it. It's baby steps. So let's take it back to those tiny steps, because all mountains that are climbed don't happen without practice, perseverance, self-belief and a fuck ton of work.

Fats Waller on the Air
Author: Stephen Taylor
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 9780810856561
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
Radio and television broadcasts are an essential component in the career of jazz musician Thomas "Fats" Waller. The medium suited his character well, allowing his friendly, energetic personality to shine through. This book meticulously documents Waller's on-air appearances: from his first known broadcast in 1923 at age 19 to the final airing before his premature death in 1943. Fats Waller On The Air: The Radio Broadcasts and Discography adds another dimension to the life of this dynamic performer. Author Stephen Taylor combines established material with fresh research, resulting in a wealth of new information. The broadcasts, including tributes to Waller after his death, are covered in detail, featuring dates, times, songs played, and other artists who appeared on the program. Through descriptions from contemporary newspapers and magazines, accounts from individuals who were in attendance, and remarks by radio announcers from original transcripts, the book provides historical perspective and a clear sense of the character and feel of the broadcasts. The book also offers a timechart of early sound recording and radio transcriptions, allowing easy comparison of Waller's presence in the field. Never before published photos and a thorough, accurate discography-including 78 and 45 rpm records, transcriptions, LPs, CDs, and DVDs-make this an important reference tool for fans of Fats Waller, jazz music, stride piano, black social history, and broadcast history.
