Stories from the road is a compilation actual situations that took place during the 5 year lifespan of The Broadway Band. As seen through the eyes of the band's front-man, it takes the reader on a ride through the Sex, Drugs & music era of the mid to late 70's. This book encapsulates the life of and experiences of its main character, before, during, and after his affiliation with the Broadway band. Intimate details of the band's life on the road, the groupies, the hard work, the fun, and hardships we experienced; are written openly and with complete frankness. While being a very interesting group of stories, the book can be a wealth of information for the aspiring musician. It depicts the ups and downs of the music industry and the pitfalls, that band members sometimes face, on a daily basis; while touring the country. I'm sure you will find it an interesting read. If you know of someone who is relatively new or, just starting out in the music business, please tell them about Stories from the road. Better yet, purchase a second copy of Stories from the road, as a gift for that special person.

SHOPPING ETIQUETTE 101 is an in depth look at the shopping habits of inconsiderate people and the Hellish atmosphere they've created, for both the retail industry and those who make their living working in it. Actual situations and everyday scenarios are given, as testimony, to the "gross" disregard for human feelings and for store policies; the average "considerate shopper" gladly follows, without question. My motivation for writing SHOPPING ETIQUETTE 101, is to enlighten the reader to faults, he or she may be guilty of, while shopping. Hopefully, if they recognize themselves in one of the many stories or scenarios given, they might try to reform their shopping habits for the better. At any rate, you will find SHOPPING ETIQUETTE 101 a good read, filled with interesting facts and, at times, delightfully amusing. If you know someone who fits the profile of one or more of the shoppers, depicted within, please feel free to recommend my book to them or, if your prefer, purchase a copy of SHOPPING ETIQUETTE 101, as a gift for that "special" person.S.
