69 Shades of Green: 7 Days in Heaven, by John Westley

American professional golfer Dan Green rolls into Heaven, BC in his beat up Corolla. He’s got sandwiches on the front seat, clothes on the back seat, and clubs in the trunk ready to test his re-built golf swing at the Husky Open. Sparks fly when he meets Melissa – a woman of extraordinary beauty, irresistible charm, seductive prowess, and more than her fair share of skeletons.

***

American Dan Green begins his journey on the west coast of Canada in the surf town – yes, surf town – of Tofino, home to a golf guru who holds the answers to Dan’s ailing golf swing. His one month stay in Tofino renews faith in his game, and holds a cathartic quality as he sheds the darkness of a marriage gone bad that had refused to let go.

With a cocky swing and a clear head Dan heads east, toward the tiny interior town of Heaven, BC, site of the inaugural Husky Open on the Canadian Tour. Without a position in the field Dan must “Monday-Qualify” in hopes of earning his way into the tournament and a shot at moving up the ranks of championship golf.

Already armed with a passion for golf, Dan rekindles a deeper passion he thought he’d lost when he is introduced to his new caddy, Melissa Jones. Intelligent, upbeat, and a physical beauty, Melissa sweeps Dan off his feet and into her home for the week when she learns he has nowhere to stay, and has resorted to sleeping in his car.

Behind closed doors the two develop an exciting relationship not generally known between golfer and caddy, and it appears to do no harm to Dan’s golf game or spirit. At least, not at first. But there are some skeletons in Melissa’s closet that come out to threaten more than Dan’s chances at winning a golf tournament. A mix of humor, erotica, and drama 69 Shades of Green will take you on a thrilling ride that will change the way you look at golf pants from here on in.

Horse Riding Choose Your Weapons, by Avis Senior

Let Battle Commence

Ok, the gloves are off!

The gentle persuasion ends here. The author lays the copious variations of abuse of horses (deliberate or otherwise) on the table. It is time for the long awaited wake up call to the dramatic physical and emotional trauma dumped on the horse daily by our inconsiderate ways.

The tables are turning; the author intends to do everything in her power to help them along. The choice is yours; follow the author eagerly and with an open mind as you journey together along the path of enlightenment, or remain stagnant in the clutches of archaic systematic training systems that continue to brainwash equestrians at the expense of the wellbeing, and true potential, of both you and your horse as you face each other on the battle field each day.

As soon as you are humble enough to question, you will begin to see a world full of possibilities, not limitations.

Kindle Spotlight: "I Bleed Cubbie Blue: My Six Decades as a Cubs Fan"

"I Bleed Cubbie Blue: My Six Decades as a Cubs Fan"
By: Doug Erlandson

Why would anyone root for a team that hasn’t been in a World Series since 1945 and hasn’t won one since 1908, has had just 20 winning seasons since 1939, and plays in a ballpark that’s nearly a century old and is falling apart? I Bleed Cubbie Blue, a memoir of one fan’s six-decade love affair with the Chicago Cubs, offers a charming and compelling answer to this burning question.

Combining personal memories and reflections with meticulous research, native Chicagoan Doug Erlandson describes his lifelong affection for a team that has raised but ultimately crushed his hopes countless times, a team to which he remains intensely loyal after nearly sixty years of fandom. Beginning with a description of the first game he attended in 1954 (a loss, of course, to the New York Giants), he weaves highlights from every season from the late-1950s through 2012 with detailed descriptions of significant games, front-office follies, trades (some of which should never have been made, others of which turned out to be sheer genius), as well as the individual players (from the great to the incompetent) who toiled in a Cubs’ uniform during this period.

I Bleed Cubbie Blue provides often humorous, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, but always accurate commentary on P.K. Wrigley’s college of coaches, the Brock-Broglio trade (which, according to Erlandson, did not seem like such a bad trade the day it was made), the collapse in 1969 (which still ranks as quintessential of all Cubs’ swoons), why Leo Durocher was a great manager (and why he was not), the lean years of the Seventies and early Eighties, the wonderfully giddy year of 1984 (along with a detailed account of the two most important games of the season), a year that ultimately resulted in the second Great Disappointment (the first being 1969), the improbable divisional championship of 1989, why Kerry Wood’s fifth Major League start was and remains the greatest pitching performance of all times, why Steve Bartman was not to blame for the Cubs’ loss in the 2003 playoffs, and much, much more.

Along the way I Bleed Cubbie Blue describes bizarre plays (such as Cal Neeman’s unlikely inside-the-park homerun when Bob Skinner forgot what inning it was), the tragic death of Ken Hubbs at age 22, the pitcher who claimed he pitched in a hypnotic trance, Jack Brickhouse’s call of an around-the-horn triple play (before it happened!), the unintentionally funny moments with Harry Caray in the broadcast booth, and the most memorable performances by guest conductors during the seventh-inning stretch.

A comment from the Epilogue sums up Erlandson’s reason for writing this memoir: “Whether in winning or losing, the Cubs have provided me with countless memories that are as wonderful and as fresh as the beautifully-manicured baseball diamond that has anchored the northeast corner of Addison and Clark for a hundred years.”
