A bright young man with cerebral palsy has his destiny intertwined with Princess Diana’s. Visiting a school for disabled boys, the future Princess Diana singles out wheelchair-bound Alex to dance with—a five-minute encounter that colors the rest of his life, though quickly forgotten by her. Alex, a survivor of severe school bullying, thinks constantly of the tall girl with blue eyes—until one day he sees her on television, the new fiancée of Prince Charles. Alex’s story interweaves with Diana’s final day before her fatal accident in the late summer of 1997. In the unsatisfying company of her billionaire boyfriend she careens from one luxurious, alien Paris location to another, tormented by paparazzi. All day she tries to reach a friend in London, hoping to hear news that will bring a new direction to her life. “Dancing with Diana is a beautifully wrought story that takes us deep into two hard-to-imagine worlds. Alex, a bright young man with cerebral palsy, has his destiny intertwined, in double-helix fashion, with Princess Diana. The latter we meet in her last few hours, and Alex we accompany from childhood through manhood. His ungainly yet triumphant progress towards self-acceptance and independence has an extraordinary echo in Diana’s own brave, doomed search for an authentic life. This is a very fine book that side-steps clichés about celebrity to create a new awareness of Diana, and also gives us a startling sense of life lived strongly and meaningfully with cerebral palsy.” — Dan Yashinsky, author of Tales for An Unknown City and The Storyteller at Fault
Diana’s Fitness, Fashion & Beauty is one of 4 volumes in the Sports She Wrote series written by the first woman with her own weekly sports column in a major American newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer, from 1898 to 1901. Her real name (which she never revealed in print) was Mary Lagen, a prolific writer and bicycling pioneer, who inaugurated her “Athletic Woman” column at the age of 46. Diana was a strong proponent of physical fitness and athletics for women. She advocated exercise and good health as foundational aspects of well-rounded womanhood and lifelong happiness, as well as fundamental aspects of female beauty. Her devotion to fashion, diet, beauty and health endured for years beyond her “Athletic Woman” column, as she later became one of the first women editors of the “Woman’s Page” in a major American newspaper. This volume features 213 articles (120,000 words) presented in the following categories: fitness & athletics (60), fencing (12), boxing (5), dance (5), fashion (91), and beauty (40). Diana is an engaging writer with a keen observational eye and clever wordplay. The other three volumes presenting Diana's column are Diana's Ball Sports, Diana's Outdoor Sports, and Diana's Anecdotes & Aphorisms. Additional articles on fitness, fashion and beauty are included in the following volumes of the Sports She Wrote series: Physical Fitness, Health, & Beauty; Physical Education & Culture; 7 Exercise Manuals; What to Wear; and Adelia Brainerd, The Outdoor Woman of Harper’s Bazar. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.

Glamorized, mythologized and demonized – the women of the 1920s prefigured the 1960s in their determination to reinvent the way they lived. Flappers is in part a biography of that restless generation: starting with its first fashionable acts of rebellion just before the Great War, and continuing through to the end of the decade when the Wall Street crash signalled another cataclysmic world change. Diana Cooper, Nancy Cunard, Tallulah Bankhead, Zelda Fitzgerald, Josephine Baker and Tamara de Lempicka were far from typical flappers. Although they danced the Charleston, wore fashionable clothes and partied with the rest of their peers, they made themselves prominent among the artists, icons, and heroines of their age. Talented, reckless and wilful, with personalities that transcended their class and background, they re-wrote their destinies in remarkable, entertaining and tragic ways. And between them they blazed the trail of the New Woman around the world. Diana’s Story is extracted from Judith Mackrell’s acclaimed biography, Flappers: Six Women of a Dangerous Generation.
This is a true story of my life. I dedicate this entertainment chronicle to my late father Seymour and mother Sarah. As in many stories, this one has twists and turns, happiness, sadness, reality, farce, and most importantly the way life really is whether your beliefs or values are moral or not. People will shit on you. I’ve broken this novel into sections; the beginning a little shot with some humor and the foundations for what my life became and is today. The story progresses into a normal young adult life with a twist and then right into young teen life where my life really began to change. As a young adult I became aware, as many do, of money, fame and sexuality. Adult life raised a whole new adventure to my credo of “wow” I can do this and get away with that? True, but not always the correct methods of getting there, wherever there is. I’ll be telling the stories of my experiences in the entertainment industry from 1967 until I left Las Vegas in 1992. Then a renewed life from 1992 until today. One of my motto’s: no matter what you do, things really don’t change and people are the same no matter where or when you associate with them. It is what it is! This is a must read for everyone. Most will either say: I’m making it up or it’s too hard to believe one Great Poster could do all that I’ve done in my life time. As my parents would say, “ENJOY.”

Keniel Singh is a bi-racial by-blow of the former Earl of Huntington, unknown to his three brothers, owners of the well-known Rose Room gaming house in London. Raised in Jamaica, Keniel learns of his British heritage on his mother's death bed and sets out to find his family. Miss Laura Benson is an almost spinster who champions children on the London streets. She’s in need of a new home to lease for an orphanage she manages. She finds the perfect house, but Mr. Singh is also viewing the property and he plans to purchase it. When he ends up the owner, he offers to help Laura find a property for her orphans. As the attraction grows between the two while they spend time together searching for a suitable home, Keniel holds back, concerned his heritage would cause problems for Laura among her peers. Raised in a more tolerant home, Laura dismisses his issue and is more troubled by Keniel's tie to the sort of business that is patronized by the very men who create the orphans she loves. Will their differences keep them apart?
