Holy Cow: An Indian Adventure

Holy Cow: An Indian Adventure Review

In her twenties, journalist Sarah Macdonald backpacked around India and came away with a lasting impression of heat, pollution and poverty. So when an airport beggar read her palm and told her she would return to India—and for love—she screamed, “Never!” and gave the country, and him, the finger.

But eleven years later, the prophecy comes true. When the love of Sarah’s life is posted to India, she quits her dream job to move to the most polluted city on earth, New Delhi. For Sarah this seems like the ultimate sacrifice for love, and it almost kills her, literally. Just settled, she falls dangerously ill with double pneumonia, an experience that compels her to face some serious questions about her own fragile mortality and inner spiritual void. “I must find peace in the only place possible in India,” she concludes. “Within.” Thus begins her journey of discovery through India in search of the meaning of life and death.

Holy Cow is Macdonald’s often hilarious chronicle of her adventures in a land of chaos and contradiction, of encounters with Hinduism, Islam and Jainism, Sufis, Sikhs, Parsis and Christians and a kaleidoscope of yogis, swamis and Bollywood stars. From spiritual retreats and crumbling nirvanas to war zones and New Delhi nightclubs, it is a journey that only a woman on a mission to save her soul, her love life—and her sanity—can survive.

The Medium Next Door: Adventures of a Real-Life Ghost Whisperer

The Medium Next Door: Adventures of a Real-Life Ghost Whisperer Review

At just five years old, Maureen Hancock discovered her ability to communicate with the dead. Descended from a long line of legendary Irish mystics, she was no stranger to the spiritual realm, but for fear of being misunderstood by her friends and family she kept the otherworldly messages to herself, eventually suppressing them completely.

Maureen wouldn't hear the spirits again until she was in a near-fatal car crash. Soon after, she had hundreds of voices in her head, many of which helped her crack cases and expose fraud in her role as a litigation paralegal at a large Boston law firm. Then, when tragedy struck on 9/11, Maureen was bombarded with messages from the spirit world. As each one made contact with her, she finally came to terms with her calling: to communicate with the deceased, assist the dying, search for missing children, and teach the living about life after death, all the while raising her children in her suburban home.

Maureen Hancock is literally is the Medium Next Door, and in this book and through her stories of her encounters with the otherworld as well as guided exercises at the conclusion of each chapter, she offers the same comfort and wisdom she shares in her healing encounters and lectures about what is out there waiting for all who are open to its mysteries. . . .

Matthew Bourne and His Adventures in Motion Pictures

Matthew Bourne and His Adventures in Motion Pictures Review

In-depth interviews with the maverick British choreographer best known for his revolutionary, tony award-winning Swan Lake

In the ten years since Matthew Bourne started his dance company, Adventures in Motion Pictures, he has earned a reputation as one of the most exciting choreographers at work today. His experimental style can be seen in his original dances-such as Town and Country, a work that includes a pas de deux that Bourne describes as "a Fred and Ginger number for two men"-and in his new versions of ballet classics, including his groundbreaking Swan Lake, with its cast of male swans, and The Nutcracker, set in a Dickensian orphanage. Drawing on his years of studying all varieties of dance as well as on his vast knowledge of dance history, theater, and popular culture, Bourne has been able to fuse elements of classical and modern dance, theatrical innovation, and sexual expression in a new way, reflecting a uniquely ironic, postmodern sensibility in his playing with the elements of classical dance and reexamining the traditional relationships between-and within-the sexes.

In these interviews with the distinguished dance and theater critic Alastair Macaulay, Bourne demonstrates persuasively just how he has synthesized these disparate elements to create an experience that audiences around the world have found mesmerizing and startling in its beauty and originality.

The Burlesque Adventures of the Lustful Earl Lavender (Romance Love and Lust Adventure Stories - New Release Classic Erotic Literature for Couples (Novel Series))

The Burlesque Adventures of the Lustful Earl Lavender (Romance Love and Lust Adventure Stories - New Release Classic Erotic Literature for Couples (Novel Series)) Review

The Burlesque Adventures of the Lustful Earl Lavender is a sexually provocative, controversial work of classic erotic literature. These previously banned (but secretly best selling) erotic novels and sex stories are elegantly written, lustfully wicked, and beautifully illustrated with vintage erotic art photographs and Victorian 'porn' pictures. Arouse and excite your sexual desires and fetish fantasies with these hot sexy tales of seduction, romance and lascivious lust!

From the book:

"They were taken into the Whipping Room. Lord Brumm, at the sight of the two tall young women armed with whips, cried,
'No, no ! I won't have it - '
He got no further with his protest, for he was instantly gagged, his hands and feet tied, and his robe thrown from his shoulders. Then one of the women, with a laughing face and a roguish eye, laid twelve lashes on his back.
Earl Lavender, without waiting for instructions, bared his shoulders, clasped his hands on his breast and stood still. The second woman, who possessed great beauty, at once inflicted with sufficient vigour a dozen lashes. His fair chastiser approved of his conduct with a charming smile, and having handed him the whip, exposed her own back. Lightly Earl Lavender brought down the scourge. How could he score the soft white shoulders of this beautiful woman! But she turned to him and said, 'Do not spare me. Put forth your strength, or I will leave you.'
Convinced of the lady's sincerity, Earl Lavender then laid on lustily, and was astonished to find what enjoyable work it was."

ABOUT THE PUBLISHER: EROTIC EVOLUTION E-BOOKS
(Publishers of Classic Erotic Literature and Love Stories - Fully Illustrated with Nude Art Photography)

Erotic Evolution publish quality erotic sex stories for Kindle eBooks. After reviewing several hundred famous romance and Victorian erotic novels (previous bestsellers and banned books) we have selected the best erotic sex stories based on the sexual content, character and story development, quality of erotic literature and types of sex scenes (they are clearly connected - sex is better when the stories and characters are 'real').
We publish provocative 'hardcore' sex in literature (previously classified as pornography and banned) simply because this reflects the truth of our sexual evolution - sex is central to our existence and connects back to our primitive wild animal instincts. We can creatively cultivate our sexuality to be moral and beautiful - but also hot, sexy and smutty - to make the most of our primitive passions of love and lust, pleasure and pain!
Reading quality erotic books cultivates the sexual side of our mind, enhances our sexual lust, and adds spice and variety to our sex lives, thus we think you will love our collection of sexually provocative erotic fiction and sex stories - in thought and action.

"The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything." (Friedrich Nietzsche)
"It is not enough to conquer; one must know how to seduce." (Voltaire)

The Burlesque Adventures of the Lustful Earl Lavender is beautifully illustrated with provocatively sexual erotic art (for guys and girls) and has been carefully hand formatted for Kindle e-books (with linked table of contents).
We have also included three excellent essays on the biological and cultural evolution of human sexuality - how we can use this knowledge to enhance our sexual relations (i.e. the art and science of sizzling hot sex!).

Adventures with Ari: A Puppy, a Leash & Our Year Outdoors

Adventures with Ari: A Puppy, a Leash & Our Year Outdoors Review

Merle’s Door was a sensation because Ted Kerasote writes so beautifully about his dog and his dog’s love of the land. In Adventures wtih Ari, Kathryn Miles takes a step back from the wild places Kerasote describes. When she adopts Ari, an exotic Jindo dog, the two of them begin to explore the outdoors together. A dog sees the world quite differently from a person. For starters, he or she is much closer to the ground—to what we’ve been trying to preserve more and more of these days. A dog is the original environmental activist: The sights, sounds, and smells of nature are what make a dog a dog. And if you want to learn more about nature, try enjoying life like a dog.

Kathryn Miles sets out to do just that when she becomes determined to let Ari live life on her own terms. Once some basic ground rules are set, Kathryn takes the leash off her dog and the blinders off her own eyes. A new world soon emerges: She and Ari explore a backyard landscape of grass, mud, snow, trees, and the occasional fox. They find the scent of a northern wind, the footprints of a startled raccoon, and other secrets of the natural world. The puppy’s free-spirited outlook teaches Kathryn to see more when she might otherwise have seen less, while adding a certain excitement and clarity of vision. Soon, Kathryn begins to give up control and know the world as Ari learns it.

Peppered with factual information about our natural world and the creatures that inhabit it, Adventures with Ari makes compelling reading for dog lovers as well as anyone who’s been out and about in the woods. Like most projects of discovery, this process forces Kathryn to uncover much more than the physical—it allows important insight to her thoughts and feelings and her relationship with her entire family, all thanks to a puppy named Ari.

Unaccompanied Women: Late-Life Adventures in Love, Sex, and Real Estate

Unaccompanied Women: Late-Life Adventures in Love, Sex, and Real Estate Review

“Before I turn 67, I would like to have a lot of sex with a man I like.” This inspired personal ad from Jane Juska drew tremendous response and swept the retired teacher into a whirlwind existence she barely recognized as her own. She relayed her fun and frank exploits in the bestseller A Round-Heeled Woman. Now Juska continues her astonishing story in this much anticipated new adventure.

Five years after that fateful ad, Juska has become a friend and confessor for women of all ages who confide in her their poignant, tragic, or blissful stories– unaccompanied women who are alone for now, but ever searching for intimacy. And in spite of Juska’s own success, “unaccompanied” is a description that applies to her as well. She’s still looking for a man to keep her company–not a husband, not even a partner, but simply the perfect lover, once described by Katharine Hepburn as one who “lives nearby and visits often.”

Unaccompanied Women embraces not only Juska’s continuing explorations of Eros (note to fans: her younger lover, Graham, is still on the scene) but also a blossoming literary career that catapults her from San Francisco to New York, London, and Paris. At book signings, earnest men place themselves purposely at the end of the line in order to engage her in private conversations, while women linger to confess their own erotic longings and their experiences with the good, the bad, and even the ugly. All the while, Juska is coping with the unnerving possibility of losing her home, a tiny cottage in Berkeley, California–and so her search broadens and intensifies, not just for love, friendship, and sex but also for enough money to keep a roof over her head.

Jane Juska shares all this richness of living in a poignant and humorous exploration of emotional terrain rarely discussed in our society. This wise and warmhearted book provides vivid evidence that the pursuit of pleasure and lasting relationships is not just for the young, but also for the young at heart.
