Benson the miniature schnauzer has it made. He has good food, the run of the house, and a loving family all to himself. He's the king of the doggie castle, and life is good. But when his perfect world is invaded by Maggie, the new dog, he's beside himself. What's a boy to do? Maggie is a happy, bouncy, playful little girl who loves her toys, her new people, her safe new home, and her grumpy older brother. But she's not worried. Maggie is a girl who isn't afraid of what she wants. She's not worried that some might say she was pushy (and that she takes the title of "party pooper" a bit too literally). Together, Benson and Maggie are about to share a love of adventure, cats, cookies, and travel. In this collection of almost-true and completely charming stories, they invite you along for a dog's-eye view of their lives, filled with neighborhood ramblings, superhero rescues, new friends, and old bones.
Lists "must-see" movies in a chronological arrangement, providing information on director, producer, screenplay writer, music, cast members, and awards, along with a detailed review of each.
OK, let's remember. Benson is a dog, no matter what he thinks you ought to think. He's a big-ish Miniature Schnauzer with the same goofy haircut all of his kin seem to affect, fuzzy at both ends and high-and-tight in between. He's bright, bossy, opinionated, demanding, and spoiled, a bit of a softy, an eternal teenager and an aggressive defender of his turf. He sees himself as a ladies man. He has his "papers" and retains all his original issue equipment and attitude. And, he writes, sort of. Make that "he dictates" in more ways than one to his human, Mari K. Eder. He calls her "Mama," because she's the Alpha dog in his pack, but he aspires greatly to his rightful status as Head Dog. All this is reflected in his monthly letters to his "grandparents," the North Carolina couple who were his breeders and caregivers. The letters are whimsical, autobiographical, filled with fantasy, wonder, and the reality of life as a geographically-circumscribed house dog.

"What can be said about the author that is not already on record in the court of law in Colorado, Washington, North Carolina, Idaho, and Maine? Any person foolish enough to try any of the acts talked about in this book is an idiot and should be in a mental institute, or at the very least alcoholics' anonymous. This is a great book to give to the youth of America just so...they know that there is a John Tamar out there and they know things could be so much worse. I, for one, am truly ashamed that this man is still free to roam around the streets without having any warning signs for the rest of society." - Beardo Tensley"John has always been one that believes if you can dream it you can do it. Reading the pages inside, you learn how John became a highly skilled author/athlete slashy, and inspires all readers to do things sober they have once done drunk." - Anthony C. Jones"If you read this book you will find out why my wife and I have so much gray hair. Our son kept us up many nights wondering what he was up to in the middle of the night. This is a must read book to see what your children may be up to. Love, Mom and Dad"Author Bio: Author John Tamar wrote this book not to inspire a bunch of drunks to try to replicate what he and his friends have done, but to make you laugh and look back at the crazy times in your life.Publisher's website: http: //SBPRA.com/JohnTamar
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Carly Phillips, Rebecca Zanetti, Rachel Van Dyken, Darynda Jones, and Skye Warren... Five Dark Tales. Five Sensual Stories. Five Page Turners. Dare to Tease by Carly Phillips Brianne Prescott, publicist for Dare Nation Sports Agency, grew up the only girl with four brothers, three of whom are sports royalty. She’s a pro not just at work but at being used by men who want access to her famous family. She’s learned the hard way that everyone wants something from her, always. When Dr. Hudson Northfield rescues Bri from a homeless man outside the clinic where he works, he really notices her for the first time. Soon she’s accompanying him to New York for a family wedding, and despite her siblings’ overprotective protests, they’re falling in love. Vampire by Rebecca Zanetti Dr. Mariana Lopez has finally stopped bailing friends out of difficult situations. Well, except for substituting as the leader for another anger management group, pitching in as a campaign strategist for a prospective sheriff, and babysitting three dogs. Even with such a full life, she can feel the danger around her—a sense that something isn’t right. Nightmares harass her, until the real thing comes to life, and only the dark and sexy male sitting in her group can save her. Mafia King by Rachel Van Dyken One of the first rules they give you when you're undercover—never fall for the enemy. I didn't just fall for the enemy. I became what I was supposed to hate. What's worse: I fell in love with one. I live a double life, and both sides know it's only a matter of time before I'm forced to choose. Rebirth through mafia blood. Or death at the hands of the very government I swore to protect. The Gravedigger's Son by Darynda Jones The job should have been easy. Get in. Assess the situation. Get out. But for veteran tracker Quentin Rutherford, things get sticky when the girl he’s loved since puberty shows up, conducting her own investigation into the strange occurrences of the small, New Mexico town. He knew it would be a risk coming back to the area, but he had no idea Amber Kowalski had become a bona fide PI, investigating things that go bump in the night. He shouldn’t be surprised, however. She can see through the dead as clearly as he can. The real question is, can she see through him? Finale by Skye Warren Francisco Castille, the exiled Duke of Linares, knows his duty. Even in modern times, the line must continue. So he'll marry and produce an heir. Yes, a wife will fit into his well-ordered life. Instead he ends up with the brilliant pianist Isabella. Strong. Spirited. And highly disobedient. She rebels against every custom and every rule, threatening his careful balance. Francisco never backs away from a challenge. Isabella never bows down to anyone. **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world.
